I was skeptical about this show seeing it's based on a video game and it never ends up good on screen, but I am hooked after the first two episodes. This show is really good and I felt like I was watching the video game play out all over again. I seen other reviewers saying Ellie is miscast and I can see it somewhat but it's not that bad to put me off from watching, Joel is perfectly cast and I'm excited to see how this all plays out. IMO this is one of the best if not the best video game adaptions to hit the big screen. The city and the surroundings are also identical to the first game and the clickers are just as freaky on screen as in the game.
