Infected

What an amazing episode, it was full of tension and had me on the edge of my seat, and once again it was much like the game.

The acting from all involved was brilliant, someone on twitter posted a comparison of some scenes with Joel and Ellie and they were almost identical, Bella Ramsey sounds so much like Ellie, and if I wasn't watching it I'd think it really was Ellie. Wow!!!

Another thing that I'm very impressed with is the clips at the start of every episode, the first one was strange and a bit real, but this one was chilling and makes me think about the problems we have with disease in the world.

I can't wait for the next episode, I just hope they can keep up the good work and make every episode as good as the last.

My only complaint is that I have to wait a full week to see the next episode.

I LOVE these additions with the Scientists at the beginning of the first episode and the Professor from Jakarta in the 2nd. We finally get a more rounded idea of what all this is and where it came from. In the game I was beyond confused. Saying that, I actually love that much of the show is a live action recreation. I mean that's just what I want. I don't want Transformers (Bay) that don't look like the cartoon. I don't want your ' 'unique vision' of what a Halo is for a tv show, and I don't want unnecessary diversity in a Slavic folklore story like the Witcher. Just recreate the darn game into a tv show. That's it! And for the first time ever, they actually do it in the Last of Us, and you see the results.

The first 8 minutes of this episode is so well acted that it is hard to put into words...

Christine Hakim so deftly conveys everything she is going through from the impossible to the end of the world in 8 minutes. She do so deftly and subtly that should be praised. So well done...

I hope to see more of her in other work...

As for the rest of the episode it was superb. Very suspenseful and Starting to make me care about the world and the people who inhabit it...

I am so glad they are including lore from before the world collapsed. I have always enjoyed that part in this genre of media. I feel like so many skip it.

Huge fan of the games but this is a non bias review.

I can't remember any tv show or movie where Iv literally wished the week away for the next episode! This is exactly what we need right now! Pure and absolute perfection! I always said the game played out like a movie and was worried at first when they decided to make a tv show. But my god gave they delivered!

This episode puts the put in the exact terrified place that the games do while playing alone in the dark! The creatures and effects are perfect! The acting is flawless! I want to fall asleep now and wake up for the next episode!!

Please keep this up guys!!
