Convergence

The show has become playing a video game with only the cut scenes. It is a rushed, unimaginative, and disappointing excuse for TV. The acting is subpar, the dialogue is uninspiring, and the situations they end up in and get out of are not believable. Not a single episode will leave you waiting until next week because nothing happened and nothing is going to happen. This season may have taken a hopeful favorite show from you, but it also takes away the pain of waiting years for another season. The finale which should spend every second of air time preciously shocks you with how willing they are to prove they cannot write a show.

Not a good finale,

Seattle Day 3, Ellie and Jessie must go and track down Tommy. Ellie's intel on Abbie's location leads her in another direction no matter the cost. Tensions have hit an all time high with Scars and the WLF.

It's weird, everything happens in this episode but with major lack in substance it feels like nothing. The first 3/4 of the episode is a lot of back and forth,

I am extremely disappointed in the finale, the game which I have criticisms about, did it MILES better, and that's just with characters behaviour and small tweaks and its execution is FAR better.

Ellie is not Ellie, I don't care what Bella looks like or that she doesn't look like game Ellie, but she is NOTHING 19 year old Ellie should have been like. The entire point is revenge needs to be severed but Ellie isn't exactly out on a revenge spree at all in this show, I was scared going in that it would be Dragged out, but now with 7 episodes it's beyond rushed !

Big moments in the last 10/15 minutes, other than that not good, and like I said the big moments lack so much because the Sundance isn't there, full season review out soon, for now the finale, 6/10.

Don't get me wrong. I still love the show. Compared to what's out in tv right now, this is still grade A tv. But clearly a lot less than season 1. Especially for a season with only 7 episodes. The pace was as if it was 24 episodes.

There was so many tangents jn plot, story, script and needless scenes for a 7 episode season. They did pretty well at gritty scenes but lost sight if the big picture at having impactful moments. The. If part of this season that failed where season 1 shined is getting us to have enough background in the characters to care about if they make it or not.

Now we have to wait 2 more years for another couple episodes. This show endangers thme "stranger things" curse if taking so long between seasons that I forget to care anymore.

I honestly can't believe this is how The Last of Us Season 2 ends. After a first season that hit hard, emotionally and narratively, this finale left me with just one thing: disappointment.

There's no tension, no heart, no soul. Just a sequence of scenes that feel hollow, cold, and meaningless. Characters I once cared deeply about now feel like lifeless puppets moving without purpose. Everything seemed to be building toward... what, exactly? A flat, emotionless ending that leaves nothing behind.

The writing feels lazy. It's like they went out of their way to avoid emotional impact. Big moments fall completely flat. It's all so... dull. There's no weight, no lasting impression.

I'm giving it a 5 only out of respect for the technical quality and the few performances that still tried to carry something real. But truthfully, this season gave me nothing. No chills. No tears. Nothing worth remembering.

The only exception? Episode two. Beautifully done, powerful, the one time I actually felt something.

Too bad the rest sank into mediocrity.

One of the biggest letdowns in recent years.

Keeping it brief. Super disappointed of the writing this season. Everything from the plot, the emotional parts and the dialogue came from episode 1 too feel more and more like something to just fill out the season with.

The two parts that the game was divided into would absolutely fit into a single season. You can clearly see where the series uses parts from the game. Thinks like, smart clickers, WLF and "the war about something" feels like they just get introduced. 6 hours is a looong time, but I cant even remember the plot in any of these episodes, it is far away from the chapter like storytelling in season 1.

How season 3 will decent is something that probably will be the downfall from a lower height.
