As someone who thoroughly enjoyed the game and the amazing story, I'm displeased with the show.

What made Ellie such a great character in the game are her displays of innocence and ability to find joy in dark times, all while giving lighthearted, snarky remarks. The Ellie in the show displays ungrateful, annoyed, and irritated attitudes and it ruins the beauty of the original story.

I understand why they change details of the storyline for television and I think it works in most cases. One instance where it failed is with Bill and his partner's meeting story. Bill didn't have a gay lover in the original story. If they want to add this layer for drama or more runtime, fine, but they can do it without starting it off with a gay sex scene. I don't want to see that!!

I give 3/10 because the clickers and all zombie makeup was on point.
