It was on Sky Atlantic 2am. Think it was being broadcast live on HBO from 1am UK time.

Ta. I wonder why the change? Oscars?
Great story. Those who have played the game, how is the 2nd part?
You’d be right if he would only save Ellie. But he kills many people on his way — literally, not hypothetically by not doing something — to save her. It is a trolley problem but both Joel & Marlene choose to interfere with the track.
You’re proving that Marlene was ethically wrong, not that Joel was ethically right.
Yup that's fair actually to a point, but Joel's hand felt forced. He was essentially given the choice of walk away and let a 14 year old girl be murdered, for what may or may not be the cure without her consent or be shot.
All Marlene had to do was offer Ellie a choice. The entire mess is one of Marlenes creation.
Essentially Joel kills a lot of people but he did it to a group of people who were in the process of murdering a child with no guarantee it will be a cure.
I genuinely don't see how anything is wrong in that. Not only is it the human decision but it's literally standing up to the bad guys
How long is the final episode does it have additional running time?
43m including titles/credits
The finding a cure stuff doesnt really land at all in the tv version, considering there's feck all infected about. Plus the spores have been written out of the story. The little survivor communities dont worry about infected, they worry about food and energy.
I enjoyed it although it did divide opinion due to what happens..
Cheers.
The rumours are coming from the game developer who is also a part of the HBO show. Take it for what it is, I dont think you can confirm these things that many years out, but you can develop a plan. This is from mid February from the developer himself. There has been more discussion since then.

Maybe I'm misreading that article, but as far as I can tell it doesn't say anything at all about what you said.
It's another great story in my opinion, but definitely divided people up for understandable reasons.
Do yourself a favour and don't Google it, I'd be surprised if you avoid any form of spoiler alongside just the title.
There has definitely been rumours, which is definitely what this article is about. But at this stage there has been no confirmation whatsoever about a third game.
The article is badly written, it's like one of those typical clickbait things. Druckmann actually "no comment" responds in this article because they're focusing on multiplayer stuff for Part 2, not planning Part 3. The only bit they mention is they've drafted a minor part of a story, which indicates it's nowhere near finished or would ever be right/get released.
Just completed it. The story is less linear than part 1 but it works, and because of it you feel every motion and question a lot.
Liked Bella Ramsey a lot more at the end, finally got the subdued, conflicted Ellie that made so much sense in the game. She's done "aggressive Ellie" well enough throughout, but they finally gave us the other side Ellie which is my favourite part of her character.
The dude literally says no comment. Nowhere in his actual quotes does he say a third game is coming out during season 3, and seasons 4 and 5 will be based on the third game.
He doesn't even know if he's getting 5 seasons let alone planning like that. A studio whos notorious for taking their time with their games and happy to delay release, having to stick to a rigid timeslot for a TV show?
Sigh, I said there has been more said about it. You can find it. If you don't think he is teasing about the third game, I don't know what to tell you. The article does address splitting game two into two seasons, it also comments that after he said no comment, he has been teasing about more. Anything past that is just a plan. I have no doubt there will be a game three. They have a lot of time to develop it.
That's pretty cool to know that the video game versions of Joel and Ellie have been part of the show.
Last night was fantastic and looking forward to the new season.
Up next....Succession!

Fantastic first season. I was skeptical going in, but I have to say they absolutely nailed it.
I can't wait for a second season because I think the storyline of the second game is even more intriguing

Amazing. Roll on season 2!
Divisive story but a great one for me, and I'd say more interesting. If told well, I think it will turn out better than the first season.
My only major gripe was the lack of infected in the end. I didn’t want to see them every minute of every episode but would have been good to see Ellie and Joel face more of them than they did, but overall a brilliant adaptation. Gonna binge it soon.
Massively inferior to the original, bit too long and got very boring in places.
The 1st game is far superior how that transfers to T.V not sure.
This guy is wrong.
It was very strange hearing Ellie's game voice in live action.
No he's not
Joel is a bit of a cnut innit.
Awful shout.
So to clarify, there's currently no confirmation of a 3rd game or 5 seasons and you are doing exactly what I said, regurgitating rumours?
Yes he is.
So you have done nothing to read further, got it!
Gonna agree with @esmufc07 here. Straight up wrong.
Definitely example of how divisive that 2nd game was
Point me to where it's been confirmed that:
"Second and third season will be from game two
During season three, game three will be released.
Season four and five from game three."
You made that statement as if it was absolute fact when it's literally speculation based off rumours and supposed "teases". If you don't know the difference between fact and speculation just say rather than going on as if I'm the jackass for pointing out no one knows shit right now.
Cracking finale. Interesting to see so many side with Joel. In the game it felt like a terribly selfish decision in the circumstances.
It was a decent ending, did feel a bit like a game, actually.
It's the best we could have asked for. The story of the game was perfect.
I felt the complete opposite after part 1 tbh. How could you not want to save her after all the shit Joel and her went through!
100%. I think that’s the greatness of it. You WANT Joel to do it after the bond they’ve formed despite knowing it’s the morally wrong and selfish thing to do.
Yeah plus getting a cure felt like a “well, so what? There’s no infected left anyway”.
