I hope they dont start with human stories chit like the "governor" in the walking dead and make it the focus of the show, got a similar vibe from some parts of the trailers.

[ScramFranklin]

They ended the episode with a fantastic song though

[OneLegSquats]

best game turned into a tv show bar none

That was a great choice, though I hope they dont start abusing nostalgia too much like other shows.

I think you can get it for 3 bucks a month with ads.

[EagleOfWar]

Was gonna wait but wife wanted to watch it. Just finished 2nd episode and it was good.

[ScramFranklin]

Episode 2 was better than episode 1 imo

Spoiler!

in my brain I thought getting to the capital was later on in the game. I may be wrong though.

[bongowongo]

Excited to watch the second ep, but the gf wants me to wait to watch it with her.





fux2her imma watch it asap lol .... once the dl is done heh.

[DASBUNKER]

Solid follow up episode, thought Ellie was less annoying, actress might not be that bad after all, starting to see her as the character.. Joel banter definitely made it much better.

Agreed. That’s why I didn’t like the first as much as I thought I would. Ellie was a bit cringe. But much better in this episode

Finally some clicker action. Good second episode. It should satisfy those people that said episode one was too dragged out and slow.

Although the Indonesia part wasn't necessary. I wonder if they will do a flash back / virus explainer at the beginning of each episode.

I'm so disappointed they didn't put in the roaming Giraffe herd in that "view" scene.

[BasedBagel]

Off to a great start, really enjoying it so far

HBO is top tier

[obmas]

Neil Druckmann directed this episode himself

He also explained (in the podcast) why he asked the actors not to play the game. Makes sense.

[WestAfrica]

Why do you think...

I like Pedro Pascal and he's a good casting choice, but this forced cosmopolitan casting in big budget shows is annoying. It was more obvious with his daughter.

I just started watching House of the Dragon and they go on and on about the half black kids being pure blooded Valyrian... like wtf are you talking about. They're literally mixed race. That doesn't make any sense. In the book it would've made sense since they were apparently just like the Targaryans and they had even whiter hair.

But yeah, forced diverse casting over making sense is the current standard.

Not sure what you are raging about in regards to the half black kids being pure Valyrian, wasn’t aware anyone said they were pure blooded.

[adamsz]

solid so far

will keep watching

lol he definitely won't want them playing TLOU 2

[Kev1972]

I dunno, never played the game and story seems kinda chit so far. Same as all the dumb zombie shows. You could make armor out of a trash can that would make you immune to human teeth, and carry a fire axe or chainsaw to make short work of a plant based zombie....but they never do. It's just such a dumb concept that these things would wreck society. We've culled much more dangerous predators. Don't care how good acting is.

[Vardoger]

That scene doesn't occur in the game until much further down the road. There's a long way to go before that occurs.

[freeburn]

Good second episode. I haven't played this far into the game so it's all just tv show from here for me.

My only criticism was Tess death was a little corny, idk why she didn't grab a fukkin frag grenade instead of fiddling with the lighter and having a makout session with the infected. Didn't stop it from hitting me in the feels tho. My gf was nearly sobbing when Joel's daughter died in the first episode, even I got a little watery fukk.

I disagree, I like the flashback scenes. I think the Indonesia scene really set the tone for the episode/the series. It shows that her first reaction was no one will be saved, destroy everything to stop it. The dread of knowing there is not going to be a cure or reasonable way to stop it other then bombing everything.

I am a big post apocalypse fiction reader, I always enjoy when they do flashbacks to show how society and the people in charge handle these things. I think it helps understand how we got to where we are, esp for tlou where the gap is 20 years after the event.

[obmas]

Weird, for some reason I remember that Giraffe part being much earlier.

They even used some of the same lines from the game's Giraffe scene.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pMjdl_uYXgE&t=8s

Joel: "Is it everything you were hoping for?"
Ellie: “It’s got its ups and downs… but you can’t deny the view."

In the show, Ellie says "the jury is still out, but man, you cant deny the view". Weird that they used this scene so early. Unless they are going to repeat the lines again and do the giraffes later.

And Click on the red mushroom that shows up.

Lol would love to live in that universe and watch you get mauled from alerting all the clickers with your loud ass trashcan armour and chainsaw awaring every clicker within a mile radius to your location. Darwinism on full display, glorious.

[Vrykul]

This show is so fukking good, I loved the game (1st one at least), it's almost, maybe even better than the game, honestly 1st and 2nd episodes easy 10/10s

I wish Joel had a more southern accent like he does in the game though, it's pretty much my main gripe, but maybe Pedro Pascal cant do a good deep texan accent or fuk knows

[Kev1972]

That's the point, they would all die in a few seconds with no risk of being gummed through my trashcan suit. Mowed to pieces using maybe a pint of gas in the ole chainsaw.

[JayJ350]

I don't see the point in taking any of this chit seriously. It's about the people most likely to die somehow being the lone survivors.

[bongowongo]

Second episode was pretty tight.


I absolutely loved the intro scenes in Indonesia, the build up, suspense and just the people talking of what's to come. Amazing stuff .... makes me wish that that they do a whole season of how civilization fell like I mentioned in an earlier page.

Also really digging the changes to how the cordyceps functions, with them being a fkked up spiderweb of sorts, really appreciate the different take on it so feels fresh from the game. That whole scene with them moving around in unision was creepy as fuk

The clickers were a highlight. Hopefully we get to see more and more lol, actually liking how they translated their design to live-action without making them looking overly fake or cringe.


The only part I didnt like was Tess's death and her going out in your stereotypical literal blaze of glory, the games death was far haunting and felt more grounded.


This show is gonna be absolutely massive as the weeks go by and word of mouth gets around .... Season 2 and the stuff that the game did in chapter 2 will be such a doozy lmao, cant wait see those reactions lool.
