I never played either TLoU game but I'm absolutely loving the show. This episode was an unexpected tour de force. Brilliant on all aspects - writing, acting, cinematography, and we got to see the completely undiscovered mountains of New Bedford Massachusetts, which, apparently, moved from where it is to 10 miles west of Boston.
Anyway, in addition to knowing that ... many people will be completely grossed out by the story this episode, it was incredibly well done. I'm loving the overall story but I was genuinely sad when they brought Joel back, knowing that this individual story would be wrapping. And then ...
Wow. All I can say. Give me more please.
