It's quite good, hardly a 'series' though, more or less just extended, very well done, cutscenes that tell the story of other characters other than the playable one. The whole game could probably have been a TV series and sufficed. As it stands currently, I find the whole half game/half show concept a bit pointless when you could probably just do one or the other. 

Well its not half show when you consider the live show is significantly less than half the game.

To me the live show just feels like an experiment. Not necessary, but it came out well and more compelling than cutscenes in most games. TV shows like this often dont move as quickly.

Hell yeah, most games just don't know how to do cutscenes. Also most games don't need them, TLOU and Uncharted are some of the only games that cutscenes work really well.

Far cry is another, but they're not necessarily needed, I don't remember there being many cutscenes in Tomb Raider (2013) but I was still engrossed in the story. But it's nice to see another approach to something most devs get wrong.
