I really don’t like that we already know Abby’s motivation(or at least part of it). In my opinion the game did a great job of literally putting you into Ellie’s shoes, by making Abby out to be this mysterious evil that came out of nowhere and was gone as fast as she came again. You as the player, are fueled by hatred and the lust for revenge, as much as Ellie because you don’t really think of Abby as a person with reasons and motivations by that point. I’m scared that the show now took all this away for pacing reasons.

That scene where Jesse briefs the group before they go on their recon mission was a cooler example of world-building than we ever got in how many seasons of Walking Dead.

Nothing against Bella, she's a good actress, but she was miscast as Ellie. I just don't see Ellie in her. Everyone else I can buy.

They made Ellie incredibly annoying and plucky, I assume it’s to build a character arc for the main plot but the MMA scene and “pulling punches” bit jumped the shark

I think I’m in the minority and didn’t think the show was that good compared to the game. It’s decent but nothing amazing. I don’t know. I just prefer the game.

Abby feels more like she should’ve been Ellie than the Ellie we got .

I think it was amazing. None of my friends have seen it yet so I spent the entire day starting and reluctantly ending conversations about it not to spoil it. I've watched a full playthrough of the first game, but the second game is a complete mystery to me (intentionally) so I'm really enjoying not knowing what is about to happen. Will watch a full playthrough after the season ends, but yeah. Incredibly awesome in my opinion.

If people act like children and can't follow orders surely they won't be able to do missions.

I really can't stand the girl they got for Ellie. I'm glad to see Isabella Merced though. But the scene where they were going into the grocery store to see if one made it in there and she was like or should we let the men handle it I always like GTFO lol. Already

Unbearable lead character. Either a miscast or awful writing. The show needs to pivot away from her.

We’re really having a recursion of “fell for it again award 🥇 “ with regards to the outrage people mindlessly levied at the last of us 2. Brother, Abby and Joel are the same character, we just never got to see the evil stuff Joel did before the events of the game, the entire point is that Ellie is embarking on the journey Abby went o

I watched Season 1 but I won’t be watching Season 2. Like the games, I think part 2 shouldn’t exist because the ambiguity of the first game’s ending was perfect, and adding onto that story just taints the whole experience.

I'm in the minority when I say this show is just meh. The first season had its highlights but was an even duller slog then The Walking Dead. It could've been summed up in a two hour movie and been way more impactful.
