This episode was clichéd, predictable, poorly written in parts and had some terrible acting. I mean, that vape line was atrociously cringey. "Vape myself into oblivion", Jesus Christ. The Radiohead song at the end was the only thing that made this worth watching, that was pretty awesome. However, it made me question whether or not the good music in this show is what made it appealing to me in the first place, not the actual substance of the show. I will give Yellowjackets the benefit of the doubt and say that I did enjoy the first season not entirely because of the soundtrack. It was suspenseful, funny in parts, and was generally well written and while the acting still wansnt amazing, it was a good show. Fell off hard.

Everything from the emotional callbacks, the intense directing that felt so similar to the thrilling experience of playing the game in the very accurately displayed third person, and the gripping accuracy of what actually happens in the game while still adding events that fed into the actual gameplay storyline made this an unbelievable start to what seems to be a great television show. Even if you have not played The Last of Us, I highly recommend you start watching this show. It has the potential to redeem both the video-game adaptation genre, and continue to uphold the zombie horror genre in the Walking Dead's footsteps.
