This show staples together characters from or inspired by various Ubisoft games, throwing them into a world that is heavily influenced by Cyberpunk 2077 and the Edgerunners series, alongside some other elements that are rather blatantly copied (Suicide Squad anyone?). It feels about as organic as you'd expect with an approach like that, which is to say: Not at all.
A lot of the characters are simply forgettable and some die quicker than the time it takes for you to learn their names. Yet, the show seems to expect you to have developed an attachment to them. That doesn't really work, if a character has only 5 lines, though. I guess, in a sense, that is pretty close to what story telling in some Ubisoft games amounts to, but it makes for an even less appealing experience in a TV show.
The show feels like a very halfhearted attempt to benefit from the reason success of shows like Edgerunners or Arcane. Like it was pushed out with (too) little thought going into it, to ride that wave... without putting in the work. Disappointing.
