Infected

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!!

Such a really good episode. Stayed remarkably close to the game. Actors all did a phenomenal job. They are really becoming the characters. I'm glad to see the producers went all out and gave this show the budget required to make the details and beauty of the game come to life. I really just wish they'd drop all the episodes at once so we could binge watch it.

I wish the show would show more of the interactions with human elements of the game. Without the fear of being attacked by humans it does seem like it drags on a little bit. However i think the are absolutely crushing it, the clickers are spot on and the added element of how the fungus interacts with its own internal internet is a great added detail.

Second episode of TLOU called "Infected" was a great fallow up the first episode. It was way slower but more intense. But knowing the story of the game very well, i wasn't surprised.

The star of this episode was in my opinion set design. Everything looks real taken directly out of video game. Yet in another medium it looks way more realistic. Everything can be clearly seen in small and big details - it's a fenomenal looking job.

Acting, writing were very solid. I really like that they expanding upon cause of epidemic in a first place. Opening of the episode was superb.

All in all, great episode. Slower, smaller but way more intense then the first one. Can't wait for the next episode.
