I've played the first game last year so I was somewhat familiar with the plot. I still haven't finished the first game because after few days of playing I just wasn't that into it.

The show itself is not the greatest I've ever watched but that doesn't mean that it wasn't okay or watchable. I think it was trying way too hard to avoid that zombie feel and because of that it lacked in suspension and danger. They ended up turning it into some type of drama series where the only thing that mattered were character's personal feelings.

They had way too many filler episodes and some of the moment where the characters were remembering their past were a bit too long and sometimes even unnecessary (Ellie and Riley at the mall episode). I really didn't like the actress who portrayed Riley. Her performance seemed so dry and that teenage love beetween her and Ellie felt uncomfortable and forced. Also the actresses didn't seem to have any chemistry whatsoever.

But overall this is not a bad show. It had some great emotional moments but it also felt very rushed at times and unexplained. It turns out that the best episode of the show was the first one considered to be a filler one (ep no 3).

I will give this show a solid 7 because anything more than that feels like too much.
