What I liked about S1 was that it was a bit tighter than The Walking Dead. Pedro Pascal, of course, is always great to watch. I liked the little vignettes as the road trip across America played out.

S2 lost all of that momentum. Interpersonal moments became overly contrived. The show settles into a predictable pacing of running, action, stop and talk, running... Actors get even less to work with and good character moments are sparse and mostly used for cliffhanger bait.

I just want grumpy Pascal escorting a vulnerable but sassy child/alien across a map and making/killing friends along the way. I do not want a late 00s zombie c-movie with theater actors doing metaphors about Israel/Palestine. Especially when the punchline is "Wow, Israelis sure are brutal but have you seen what they're fighting?"

What did YOU think about S2 and its ending?

TLOU was only ever successful because it was the first prestige video game. The politics of both the show and the games are really bad. Their plots are unoriginal. The writing in both is dull. The gameplay is not great.

The only good things about the show and the games are the visuals and the acting.
