Watched the first episode last night. I think they did a wonderful job. I don't think Bella is the perfect Ellie but she is acting the part well. It really did capture the feel of the first game. Honestly after digesting the second game for a bit, I do quite love it too. So the 2nd season should be great.
If season 2 even is the second game.... I haven't read much but I could expect them to end season 1 after the Colorado part where Joel gets hurt and it transitions to that snow but where you play as Ellie solo for a bit.

After reviewing the few cast details for each of the 9 episodes on IMDB, I retract my previous thoughts about the first season covering all of the first game. It seems like they won't get through all of it since they've adding a lot of backstory and some new characters. That's fine with me because the Indonesia scenes at the beginning of Episode 2 was great.

If you google “cordyceps” there is a mushroom button that pops up. If you push it fungis show up.

Second episode was fine but kinda boring. Other than the whole fungus concept, it seemed to be a very “by the numbers” episode of “zombie” TV, and it was fairly predictable how it was gonna end up.
Show is good and looks great, but doesn’t blow me away like it seems to do for most folks. But tbh that goes for what I’ve played of the game so far too, in my opinion at least.

It really is a pretty rote story. The game was excellent on hard mode a great sense of dread and anxiety. Really unique.

It's a bit too similar to the game. But with most game adaptations, they usually stray so far from the source it just sucks as a result.
This. I think they should just stick to the game and see what happens. Literally every adaptation is usually just wallpaper that resembles the game that is glue to a pile of crap script. Just do the direct adaptation with minor tweaks.

The little bit I heard/read said Season 1 was going to be part 1, and season 2 would be part 2. With no plans for anything after that. Though Naughty Dog has hinted part 3 is in production.

Ellie is growing me a little bit... But man, that forehead and that weird facial expression she makes. Is she surprised? Is she being sarcastic? Is she smelling poop? I don't know!

Saw episode 2 and yeah she's growing on me. But you are right... she's this generations' equivalent of Kristen Stewart with facial expressions. I do think she acts out Ellie's sense of humor very well though.
I'm personally hyped Season 2 was announced. I can't wait to love/hate Abby.

Settle for what you got. But work your ass off to live. It’s flicted. I agree with the idea that living ain’t life without other people for sure. Other people are our purpose. However this is gonna get bombed.

Damn if that wasn’t one of the best portrayals of what “love” is. Torn up.

I thought the same, that butt-hole general Joe was gonna lose their crap over the episode for the wrong reasons (hello Lightyear), but it really was done quite well and was such an awesome message that almost made ya forget that we were watching Last of Us.
"You were my purpose", powerful stuff.

Man, what an episode. It was like the emotional opening of ‘Up’, devastating, and the music from ‘Arrival’ just made it even more great
