It was a good start for the series. May have been a bit rushed by the end, but I understand why they did that.
Joel and Ellie bond is what made a lot of people love that game, so naturally they want their journey to start so they can get the good stuff going.

I liked it...but I haven't played the game so I didn't fully know what to expect.

I think the first episode is pretty good. It’s great to see Pedro Pascal in the flesh, but he’s sorta doing the Mandalorian character again by getting a kid to safety.

What did we think? Myself was lukewarm. Wouldve enjoyed it more I think if I didnt play the games I was very lukewarm to it too. There was no tension or drama at all. It was a very flat episode. The games actually give me anxiety at certain points. They are that tense. This show was just kinda there.
Anna Torv is awful. Tess is a badass with a large looming presence that is only surpassed by Joel. Torv is doing an impression and a pretty bad one.
Mando has surprised me with how dull he is. I mean the Mando character is kinda robotic, but Joel isn't and he's still doing the same thing.
The kid isn't great, but has bothered me less than the other two. I cringe a little when she curses. It doesn't flow as smoothly or as amusing as when Ellie does it. Similar to Torv, this kid is trying to be Ellie.....and isn't imo. I can't lie either. I don't want to be a dick, but she's weird looking.
The 2003 stuff was more interesting, but even then didn't wow me.

Well done. Pretty much. Also I dont like the darker edge to Ellie either

She's no great beauty...she could be a great warrior though.

You can be a dick to her as many times as you like she's not here to read your comments.

Ok the second episode was better. The clickers made me smile. Didnt think the ending would be so soon I cant remember but wasnt it that Tess was actually holding off people that were after them, not the undead?

Definitely better than the first episode, but I am not in-love with this show. The tension was there, particularly in the museum. Creature effects are very good and helped with that, but the tongue tentacles are unnecessary. The acting is not great. It's just so flat to me. Anna Torv is brutal imo. She and Bea Ramsey are doing impressions - and not ones that I am buying, particularly in Torv's case. The twitching joke made me smirk, but this kid isn't nearly funny enough to be Ellie. Pascal lacks personality and charisma, at least in this role. His performance is flat. He is no Joel imo. None of them embody the characters. It's ok show at best (so far). People who are insisting certain iconic scenes are better than the game are out of their minds. Talking about this like it's art is nonsense.
Yes. It was the soldiers who followed them after Joel killed one of them.

Would someone who had their child killed in a movie full of monsters really be that much fun? Not sure whether the show had Pedro's character all wrong or the videogame writers were high.

Granted we're only two episodes in, but so far things are looking good.
There is 9 episodes this seas, so we'll see if the series sticks it's landing.
