Half-Life: The Series - Pilot: "Right Man. Wrong Place."

Based on the iconic Half-Life universe, this pilot episode follows physicist Gordon Freeman, who mysteriously awakens in a decaying city ruled by the alien Combine. Twenty years have passed since the Black Mesa Incident. The world has changed — and so has the resistance. Without a single word spoken, Gordon is thrust into a brutal new reality, navigating surveillance, fear, and the shadows of a war already lost. As familiar faces resurface — Barney, Alyx, Dr. Kleiner — and new ones emerge, Freeman becomes the reluctant symbol of hope the rebels desperately need. Featuring tension-driven storytelling, grounded action, and rich atmospheric world-building, The Right Man, Wrong Place is a faithful yet original take on the legendary sci-fi game. This pilot balances cinematic grit with emotional undertones, setting the stage for a larger narrative about oppression, memory, and rebellion.
