Coming from someone who has played every splinter cell game, this show is close to a masterpiece. People are mad because theirs a black woman agent are you serious ๐? I hate forced dei as much as the next rational person but this show is not that. Yes, they changed some backstory like Shetlandโs death which I would not have preferred, but the expansion to the spintercell universe IS absolutely there with great ties into the past. Anyone saying โthis doesnโt feel like OG splintercellโ is not critically thinking, would we really want to watch a 8 episode series of Sam sneaking in the shadows patiently pulling every move off perfectly as if heโs not 50+ years old! The show emphasizes his age extremely well, and does infact capture Samโs original character. Saying โShe should have been let go after she first disobeyed direct ordersโ is how I know you havenโt played splintercell, how many times did Sam disobey direct orders in the game series? A lot. Bravo to the creators, I truly thought this was gonna be a dumpster fire not even worth the watch but I am very happily proven wrong.
