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. Joel isn't "fun" and I don't know what this means.

I liked episode 2. The museum sequence was good and the relationship between Tess and Elle was enjoyable. I liked Tess in this one overall.

I saw this earlier but didn't even realize it was Tess. Sad. Cancer sucks.

Well, last of us became this is us...
it wasnt bad but that ate way too much of the episode and the overall story. This isnt in the spirit of the game..
Without a doubt, a woke agenda there..

Pretty cool to see Bill story expanded on. The only downside to this episode is that we didn't get to see any banter between Ellie and Bill.

I can’t believe they axed that altogether. i cant believe it was pretty much a suicide pact and yeah consequently no more interactions from the guy due to obvious reasons

Easily my biggest gripe. This is barely horror. Not much happens. Look at the tension and chaos in the encounter with the Hunters in the game:
Bill isn't even close to being the same character. Joel isn't either. He is so bland in the show.

If season 2 adapts part 2 story, i hope that the actress who plays Abby doesn't go through the same bullshit that the voice actress did.

If there's one big complaint i have with this series is that it's rushing through a lot. I actually wish they had at least an extra episode to at least give them some extra time to develop Joel and Ellie's relationship. It's unfortunately really rushed.
What i thought was interesting is that they layed some ground work for Last of Us Part 2, even teasing Dina at one point.
It's looking like the next episode is based on the Left Behind DLC, which was done to give the player Ellie's background, including showing how she got infected. But seeing how some people reacted to the Bill and Frank episode, I'm sure they're going to be flipping out over Ellie's particular romantic feelings over Riley.
