Almost a 1:1 Copy from the Game. The last two Episodes Joel feelt like Joel like a Badass. Overall the Show is a 6/10 for me.

Wow, what a ride.

This episode captured the essence of this show, and it's why this story is undeniably the greatest story in video game history. And to my greatest joy, once again the show truly honored the source material, and told the story as it is meant to be told. There were beautiful moments. There were uncomfortable moments. There were depressing ones. But mostly there was the feeling of inevitability: there was no other option for our characters to take.

There were some unexpected directing choices, especially the way the big scene was done. But, the way they chose to do it reflected the emotion of it. And I love how utterly single minded and remorseless Joel is here. Pedro captured Joel in ways I never expected. As for Marlene, she's exactly what you'd expect. Of course, Merle Dandridge was incredible. She's been Marlene for 10 years, and she nailed it again. And Bella Ramsey, wow. She masterfully showed the way trauma can make you a shell of yourself, but that heart to heart with Joel, and the scene in the building right before the climax, she showed that the happy kid was still somewhere down there. And Joel trying to bring that out of her early on, the doubt and worry on his face, just outstanding. All in all, there isn't a lot more that could have been done to honor the source material here. Honestly, in a lot of ways I wished the story ended here. Can we just pretend that's the end of it? It was a perfect bitter-sweet ending, just like in the game. This episode AND this show are some of the best television I've seen in two decades.

Absolute masterpiece.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. (I dint play the games) The episode started really punching you in the face. very emotional. I was intrigued from the get-go, thinking, what the hell that character was, and it was nice to learn and from that point on you kinda construct some hypothesis about Ellie's prodigy that actually is confirmed in the end. it felt odd how Ellie behaved with Joe. The acting seemed off, but i think it was part due to the way it was written. They making pauses to bond was awkward. Leading to them getting caught in a silly way. I don't know. Btw, they tried to show Ellie's detachment, maybe some sequelae from the last episode, however it felt forced, mainly cuz it was accompanied by a huge change in Joe's behavior towards the chatty spectrum (also, it might be the speed of the storytelling. rushed, maybe?). Anyhow, the scene in which Joe single-handed manslaughtered everyone wasn't as impactful as previously. They tried very close-up shots while he walked around, but it looked bad somehow, not the badass scene i was expecting. All in all, i kinda enjoyed the hook for the next season. Disappointed this show really gave up on infected again lol… Expand

Bella Ramsey deserves some awards. (And Pedro. :P ) I'm glad we got so see Ashley Johnson too. I'm not sure what I prefer between the game and the TV series, but I think Season 2 will be better than the game.

episode 8. miniseries 8. chapter, well without a very good part of the game but the Pedro Pascal scenes are impressive. If they end the series here they achieved a good miniseries with great success.

После невероятно нервного просмотра смею заявить, что опасаться было нечего. Даже малый хронометраж серии не могу записать в минусы. Такой родной голос Эшли Джонсон. Очень драматично снятое побоище. И дуэт Беллы Рамзи и Педро Паскаля, который с этого момента стал достойным приемником дуэта Эшли и Троя.… Expand
