I used to hate everyone and I was happy when everything failed. But I was wrong, because there were good things that deserved being truthful on. That's what I did: I told the truth about this episode. Isn't this what we are here for?

This episode gives an unique angle to the description of the world in the series’s setting. Maybe a bit too slow episode at times but still gives the series uniqueness.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As far as I’m concerned if you rated this episode less than a 8 you don’t have a good grasp of storytelling.

Not even going to point out all the disgusting homophobic comments since that’s a waste of time, but if anyone think it was a boring “filler” that didn’t drive the narrative forward they are wrong.

Not only does this episode give us a touching story, it show also us how people live and survive from a different perspective outside of Joel and Ellie, how Joel knew Bill and Frank, it introduced raiders to the show etc.

The biggest change is unlike the game Tess told Joel to take Ellie to Bill and Frank’s he was going to leave her there. In the game it’s just a whim decision to get a truck so when people say it doesn’t drive the narrative forward they’re wrong or look at things too much on a surface level.

However this episode packs a lot so normies won’t understand it.

It shows what the positive power of love could do to people, in contrast with what we saw mostly in most of the original game. Hats down to the excellent performance of Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett who really give this episode life and make it convincing. It should earn them Emmys for the intricate and heartwrenching presentation in the piano and dinner scenes. Linda Ronstadt's Long Long Time perfectly fits the plot and theme of this episode, thank the show for helping me to discover this hidden gem. The scripts are just powerful and touching, some of the lines may become instant classics at Valentine's Day I guess.
Kindly feel sad for those who cannot appreciate real love in the world and choose to live with their hatred and bigotry. Maybe they just don't deserve it.

In the game we have these stories told through scenarios, letters, and lines, like in the sewer with Henry and Sam, where they show the history of the families that sheltered there.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I waited a week to review this episode. I wanted to replay this section of the game, and rewatch the episode so I could be fair.
Maybe my opinion is colored by personal experience, but I like this story so much better than just another hate filled body hanging from a rafter. Yes, it is a departure from the source material. From "Can I ha..." "No", to "seatbelt" it only progresses the story a little. It provides a bit of context for the relationship between Joel and Ellie, shows how they begin their actual journey, though not much else. But it is truly an amazing story. It is beautiful, and exciting. It is relatable and captivating. And, finally, it is soul wrenching.
This is honestly the most beautiful one hour and fifteen minutes of TV I have watched in over forty years of life. Please don't allow the biases which have been beaten into your skull to ruin it for you. Don't allow your love for the game to overrule the beauty of storytelling.

He also writes a letterLoved the show, was actually very conservative and supportive of masculinity....the entire plot was about a guy with lots of guns in his doomsday bunker, who lived on his own until he met someone and fell in love. He also writes a letter where he writes of his longtime love, Frank, “I saved him. Then I protected him. That’s why men like you and me are here. We have a job to do.” (Sounds pretty masculine to me, regardless of sexual persuasion)

Thing is, that if this was a story about hetrosexual gun loving couple....all the people who have rated this episode 0 would be rating it a 10. Conservatives are the biggest snowflakes...they cannot even handle a fictional story about gun loving gays. Everyone who has rated this episode 0 based on the fact that it shows love between two men....is a weak-minded wimp, who would rather spew their toxic hatred towards the LGBT community then simply going about their lives in peace. Seriously – get a life, haters. And grow a pair.

Amazing episode! Ignore the homophobia, it really was a beautiful story, funny at times and advanced the story. The ending tells us more about Joel than the first two episodes combined. Most of the bad reviews are from small minded dudesAmazing episode! Ignore the homophobia, it really was a beautiful story, funny at times and advanced the story. The ending tells us more about Joel than the first two episodes combined. Most of the bad reviews are from small minded dudes highlighting their own insecurities and anxiety. Just small people afraid of facing their own vulnerability and ignorance (little bit like Bill in the beginning of the episode). Imagine being so anxious from this funny and moving episode that you’re motivated to run out and bash it. Must be a miserable way to live. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think that this episode was an amazing way to show the audience how was life throughout the apocalypse. It doesn't further the plot, that's true, but it does give us context. Plus, you have to remember that not everyone watching the show played the videogames, so we are learning about this strange world through every episode. Expand

This was a beautiful love story. I thought the story was incredibly well done. I do not understand the hate being heaped upon the episode.

If this chapter was about a heterosexual love story everything would be compliments. Go back to your caves!

Awesome episode. Don't listen to the homophobic loser. And if you played the video game this piece of the puzzle is really great to watch. Also brilliant acting from Nick Offerman.

A truly wonderful story with brilliant acting. I feel sorry for those whose prejudice stopped them enjoying one of the best TV episodes of recent times.

It's a great episode that may deviate from the main story line but helps build the world. What I consider makes this an exceptional episode is that it presents a gay love story that beautifully tells a romantic narrative above a gay story.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While not very thrilling, I enjoyed what they did with this chapter vs the game. Instead of an hour long run and gun through a town with only 15 mins of dialogue, they’ve managed to flesh out a once forgettable character into a feature length story. I would’ve enjoyed a little more tragedy but the “kill all your gays” trope died in 2013. Overall a great episode in a historic series. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Outstanding episode! This paralel story brought by the writers of the series gives the show a necessary and great different view of the original game story (to which show is very faithful). So well explained and represented. Unfortunately I could see this review bombing happening from the very first moment. People doing that is only guided by hate, so sad. If Frank would have been a woman this would not be happening. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When playing the game, you come across so many story fragments and easter eggs throughout that are never explored in detail. So glad we are getting more than fragments.

This episode is a perfect example of the greatness of this story, Joel and Ellie truly are some of the last of "us". The corpses in the ditch are us. Bill and Frank are us. Tess is us.

I would so be dead if the world was infected, but damn, i hope i would leave a good story behind. *Chefs kiss* Cried like a baby.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Clunky Metacritic decided to eat my review, so once more, briefer: for me, episode 3 is the best one yet in this series, although telling the backstory of Bill and Frank in such an intimate manner came unexpected. But I'm really happy with the care taken, the slow pace. Performance-wise, Pedro Pascal seems to have found his stride, loved the scenes of Joel and Ellie. It strays from the game, intelligently; glad this is not mere action drivel jockeying the ghost of an emotional video game tale. Expand

An incredible emotive story. I've loved it from the beginning to the end. The story es subtle and deep, and really well constructed. The acting is absolutely great. I cried at the end. And no, you don't need to be LGTBI+ to enjoy this chapter.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. By far the best hour of tv I’ve seen in my life. Although it didn’t move the plot, it felt like a short look at two loving people’s lives, and although they died, they died happy. In our non zombie world, we could only be so lucky. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The characters were gay back in 2013. The Last of Us has many gay characters and has always been LGBT friendly. In fact, Ellie is gay. The review bombers aren't actually fans of the games or the series. Just homophobic. If you want to criticize how the episode is different from the story, then do that. This is actually a great piece of cinema, either way, and it doesn't deserve the hate. You might have been "tricked" so to speak, but would prefer to have a boring predictable episode every time? Most TV shows "trick" you by leading you somewhere you weren't expecting to go. And for those who say they're just "side characters" the plot with Bill is very important because that's how they get a vehicle. Even if they did it exactly like the video game, the characters would still be gay, and Bill would still be a major part of the plot. They changed Tess' death scene and there was no outrage over that. Hmmm. Expand

Para quienes se quejan de hombres barbudos que se besan, por Dios vayan a terapia. Y si ven series con malas palabras, violencia, zombies con sus hijos pero no saben explicar un beso entre dos hombres sigan yendo a terapia.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Episodio sublime en el que nos cuentan unas parte del videojuego difícil de plasmar en una serie. Una parte donde teníamos que cumplir unos objetivos para conseguir un bien. En el juego funciona, en la serie seguro no tanto. Así que se sacan de la manga una bonita historia que nos hacen conectar con los sentimientos de Joel y al final del episodio, la historia principal continua exactamente igual que en el videojuego. Chapó.
También hablar de la valentía de HBO y de los creadores de la serie por tratar la sexualidad de dos hombres adultos con tanta naturalidad. Visto el odio vertido en redes, queda constancia que estamos lejos como sociedad de normalizar algo tan primario como el amor.
