Like many reviews mentioned already, first episode is a very good start then it all goes down the hill. There is no chemistry between joel and Ellie, Bella ramsay is a miscast, almost each episode new characters from the game introduced and some serious screen time is being spent on their development instead of Joel and ellie. That's why I would call this one "chronicles" instead of The Last of us because it's only a glimpse of the game. Small pieces cannot be hold together because main character development sacrificed over character variety. It simply doesn't give me the excitement of waiting new episodes. If it doesn't give me the excitement as a fan of the game, I cannot imagine people who haven't play the game.
