Featured reviews
Coming off of the first episode, I was worried about this show. Of course, it was good, but I think it really fell apart after the time jump, ending up a little slow paced and not all that interesting. But, surprisingly, right out of the gate in this episode, all of the pacing issues are gone. And it stays throughout the episode. It's still somewhat slow, but it's consistently engaging and very well paced, full of great character moments, a fantastic action scene and some absolutely breathtaking visuals. It's just solid TV. Well written, atmospheric, visceral, and most importantly, entertaining. I'm very excited about the direction this show is going.
Greetings from Lithuania.
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.

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.

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.

This was another amazing episode just like the first one! Once again it manages to capture the vibe and atmosphere of the game! There were multiple scenes where i got the same feeling as if i were playing the game! They really did a great job of making it intrigueing just to have the characters explore!
Once again the actors are amazing! They have some great chemistry and interactions that makes it very enjoyable to see them on screen!
This episode also had some great intense moments where i think i holded my breath a couple of times! The design of the infected is also solid! I like how the show also tells us more about the disease!

- TriviaThe episode shows how the Cordyceps pandemic began in Jakarta, home of one of the largest flour mills in the world, and implies that contaminated flour likely caused the quick spread across the globe. Other than a radio broadcast that the Millers listen to over breakfast, the previous episode also hints at this by showing several instances in which Joel and Sarah unknowingly avoid eating flour: when Sarah is unable to make Joel birthday pancakes, when they turn down their neighbor's biscuits, when Joel forgets to get a cake, etc.

- Quotes
Lt. Gen. Agus Hidayat: Ibu Ratna, we brought you here to help us keep this from spreading. We need a vaccine or a medicine.
Ratna Pertiwi: I have spent my life studying these things, so please listen carefully: there is no medicine. There is no vaccine.
Lt. Gen. Agus Hidayat: So what do we do?
Ratna Pertiwi: Bomb. Start bombing. Bomb the city... and everyone in it.
