I've never played the video game. So as a viewer of this tv show, I was incredibly disappointed with the ending. I don't see the point of a season two, but I understand it's meant to be an adaptation. I will not be watching as I'm not interested in Joel and Bella's relationship. If you don't play the video games, you will probably not enjoy the tv show as much as those that have played them.

The adaptation should have been a limited series with a different ending than the video games to fully adapt it to television, as the finale has no resolution. The conclusion makes sense from a video game perspective, but not for television.
