As a huge fan of the game I was disappointed with one unnecessary episode and felt like they couldve easily stretched this to 11-13 episodes for the season and built up the connection and background for each character more appropriately as well as included more action.

8 episodes in so far and we're almost at the end of the first game where some cool things were left out and certain aspects were changed like the introduction of Ellie, the displayed intensity of the Fireflies conflict with FEDRA occurring in the world, some more serious fight scenes, Bill being alive and setting up badass traps (where Joel is upside down trying to keep Ellie alive from infected) , and some other signature parts of each of the game's chapters.

Great show overall and fantastic cast but I just know it couldve been done a little better for the popularity and perfection of this franchise.
