Not to say that I loved it, but this is probably my favorite "it's in the game" series that I've yet seen. This is a 37 year old man - basically the type of person who plays Civilization. Once he gets in this fantasy world, his goal is to make a kingdom out of all these monsters. They give themselves names, roles, etc.
The show's gotten boring in it's second half if I'm being honest, but I like how the first half "ended".
The show has a surprisingly big heart and I would check it out if you like this type of show. I don't know if you don't because I don't know if it's strong enough to recommend to everyone. But it was doing well for itself in it's first half, so there's that.
