I still think the show is ok, nothing special. Same as it was last season. Episode 2 this season still remains the best of the series. Tonight’s episode (all jokes aside). My only complaint is at some point it felt like they were encounter hopping, and it was a little jarring to me as someone who played, and loves TLOU2. The show is still good enough for me to tune in every Sunday. And I like seeing what they decide to change, and keep the same.

When it’s all said and done. I think this show won’t go down as one of HBO’s best tv show’s. Most people will look back and say they did some things better, and they did some things worse (assuming they played the game). I think most will say the show was good not great. Simple as that.
They nailed the fukk out of the tone in that second episode. It was done again tonight, even though it took a min for it to get there.

I could see the show being something really special if they let some of the story beats marinate just a little bit more. Bella’s doing fine and people can say whatever about her not looking the part, but it’s the writing that’s putting her at a disadvantage at times here.

Man Abby is fukked. There is no way anybody gives a shyt about her and her story

They literally had Ellie saying “I don’t give a fukk :demonic:

How they plan on giving us multiple episodes next season about this bytch when everybody hates her probably more than they did in the game

Damn, Dina is a little devil and instigator. She needs to chill out :demonic: :whoa:

Jesse is GOATed. He saved both Ellie and Dina. Ellie may be immune from the virus, but she's not immune from being ripped apart (or being killed by the WLF or Seraphites).

Nora is standing on business and taking her beating in earnest. Gotta respect that :manny:

Maybe because I was a fan of Abby in the game, but I feel like the show hasn't really made the viewer hate Abby nearly as much as the game did.

Having her motivation front and center with convey justification is really hard to hate her.

Even then, we've barely seen her and most of her scenes been pretty good.

Nope. They haven't even started filming for season 3 yet.
Jesus... I don't blame Craig wanting to finish the games in 3 seasons.

He's been doing this since 2020. Season 3 probably drops in 2027.

I just hope he just hands off show runner to someone else instead of just ending it. Show got legs after the games are finished.
