Plot: Thrust into a high-stakes chase around the world, fearless adventurer Lara Croft confronts her traumatic past while unraveling an ancient mystery.
Season 1 of Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft was solid.
Pros: The animation were half and half good. Hayley Atwell helped add credibility to the role of Lara Croft. You do get more of Lara’s friends and what they add to her journey throughout the season and I Glad they started the series already as the legendary Tomb Raider at the start & watching this does make you feel like the games in animated form.
Cons: The storyline won’t really appealing to me. I didn’t felt the main villain was that imposing in my opinion and It didn’t reach that high bar expectation like the games did.
