Ellie has a bit more bite on the show, in the game she’s a bit more sort of sullen and chill. But she’s starting to chill out with Joel.
I thought ep 3 was enjoyable, quite a nice love story, but not ‘best Tv ep of all time’ level. It’s getting rave reviews. It did feel a bit like an off piste kind’ve thing, like a random X files episode or something but still connected to the main story. Also would have loved to see Bill meet Ellie but eh, no biggie.
I also recognised the music from Arrival, I dunno if that was a good move or not. I kept thinking about the baby and the Chinese dudes wife, I guess it’s been a few years but still.
I thought the creatures and stuff so far have been great, the clickers in the 2nd ep were sick. Also love those little intro bits that reveal a bit more about the world prior to Armageddon. The whole fungal thing is great.
Digging it so far and it’s not often I wait week to week to watch a show. Hoping it gets a second season as it already seems to have legs, it might even eclipse the games in terms of where the story goes in future.
