I really enjoyed episode 1. I did not play the game so aside from a general ‘zombie apocalypse, man and child pair’ storyline it’s all pretty new to me.
I already really like that the zombies are plant based. The image like the dude in the tunnel who grew into the wall was awesome. Ellie’s character I find mildly annoying at this point but Joel is great. Haven’t got a proper feel for the others.

Episode 2 had a really fun stealth/combat sequence. The intro showing bits from Indonesia in 2003 has me hoping they continue these little tidbits pre opening credits for the whole season. It reminds me of World War Z, the book not the movie. Seeing small moments during the fall of the world. That would be really cool. I also found Elle and Tess, and the short term relationship they had really endearing. The cordycep mouth kiss was creepy and made me cringe.

Seriously
How can a 75 minute episode feel like a ten year show on its own? When it was over it felt like I grew up with Bill and Frank for over a decade, was really engaged with their characters and story and the ending freaking destroyed me.
This was one of the best episodes of tv I have ever seen.

This was one of the best episodes of tv I have ever seen. It was insane how quickly and effectively they made you fall in love with those characters and their journey. I’ve heard it compared to the beginning of Up and I agree. I couldn’t believe we still had time with Joel and Elle.

This was perfection. I dont want more. I want to cherish this incredible hour Btw we are definitely gonna do a seasonal review. I need to talk about this show ArArArchStantonJoin us bro!!!

Episode 4 was another great episode. The Last of Us is seriously the best apocalyps outing in media I have seen in a while. Right up there with A Quiet Place.

Grandmaster Reminder that the new ep dropped last night. Not sure when it gets released to your country but you may be able to watch it sooner than normal. This is because our Super Bowl is on Sunday.

Good episode 5. Not as great as the previous 2, but still very good. I didn’t expect them to get to Wyoming so fast…and then immediately leave.

Ep 7…Some Elle backstory, a little sweet but a little boring honestly. I don’t hate showing us Elle’s first best friend/love interest but it didn’t quite hit the emotional notes to keep it from lulling at times. But I liked their relationship and seeing the bite that Elle got as well as her joke book was cool. I kinda wish they had the bite happen earlier so we got to see what happened when Riley turned. I feel like that moment could’ve been the emotional punch I was waiting for.
Also, I guess I’ll say I’m not sure if they were trying to run a flashback story that is somehow relevant to the bookends with Joel…but I never once would believe Elle was gonna leave Joel to die. Even in character…she did nothing but want Joel to stay with her in the last episode. There’s no way she was gonna leave him here, no matter what it meant to anything else. So I’m not sure why they even toyed with that notion unless they were gonna show Elle abandoning her friend in the flashback, which she didn’t.
Overall it’s still fine but probably the weakest episode so far. As a whole I’m thinking about the pacing now. Last episode I felt like things might have been going too fast and then they have this episode where it felt like they were moving fairly slow. It’s a little jarring.
I kinda just let my mind vomit on my keyboard so this may come off ranty or more leaning negative but I can assure you when they had their moment standing on the counter I was smiling.
PS…of all the places Riley picks to sleep she picks the back room in an old taco restaurant? I know it prob hasn’t been used in 20 years but I guarantee that kitchen still smells like crap!

Just finished season 1. Some very good stuff that got a little undercut as the season progressed because of how fast it felt like things were going. Loved Joel and Elle as characters but the revolving door of side characters and antagonists meant that the only characters we know are Joel and Elle. Really liked what we saw from the creatures but they were also pretty few and far between. I think episode 5 was the last one that really had them posing a threat. I think the show could’ve benefitted from a longer season or a slower pace or more condensed components. I still think episode 3 was probably the best of the season. I’m interested in the show as long as Joel and Elle are part of it. I do hope they give us time to digest the story beats in the future tho.

The second game is going to be split up into two seasons, which honestly is probably for the best considering how much stuff goes down in that game.

Maybe they couldve made it feel bigger if they didnt focus on playing house with a gay couple for an entire episode lol

As entertaining as ep 3 was, it certainly was a side story. Spending an entire episode without really developing the main plot probably hurt the pacing. Same with the Elle flashback episode late in the season that gave us no real new information.

I hope she avoids the internet. People still won't shut the fuck up about Abby.
I just hope the psycho's don't harass her as well.
