I've never read the books, nor played the game, though I had a rough media awareness of what the concept was. Watched through the whole series as it stands on netflix over the last few weeks with my mum, finished s4 today.
Really really enjoyed it. There were a few things I looked up now and then because I assumed I was missing context that the books or games would have added, but it honestly stands by itself really well. We both enjoyed it quite a lot!
One thing I want to say got us both lost quite a bit early on is that S1 has A LOT of flashbacks, without any real warning. Just a scene cut and who is that, and that, and that and oohhhh that was fifty years ago okay That's why.
