I see episode 2 already has a 9.9 rating on IMDb. Must be one hell of an episode that so many people traveled back in time to give it a glowing review...
But it's not a straight adaptation? There's already been numerous changes and they're arguably better than what were in the game.
First episode I’ve found a bit shit after a good start
Information overload. Pacing is shite.

Back... to the future?
They played the game. Cheaters.
There is a bunch of people who are in position to see/screen the show before it’s aired.
I know you’re technically not breaking any rules. But this is how game stuff start accidentally getting put into the thread.
Reminder for everyone.
Series 1 Episode 2
Very solid start to the second episode so far.
I like tying in the radio report from ep 1 about Jakarta quickly to show the origins without lingering too much on it

Character building, dialogue especially some of the quips by Ellie is top tier stuff, also they’ve got the tension just right for people who have lived with it, not ott but just enough so you know a threat is always there
It's really very good. The VFX are great. Can't wait for next week.
It's genuinely tense as well, the Atmos is great/horrible.

I love how straight after my last post The tension escalated when they discovered something they hadn’t seen before
Ep2 was very good and keeps up, even improves, on Ep 1.

The museum sequence was really good, which I guess was around when you posted.
Also, the kiss at the end had been mentioned in some reviews and it was as unsettling as had been described.
Well that’s me having nightmares tonight.
That was unnerving, also a good way other than lighter failing to make us wonder if she’d succeed
Ain’t you watched your team play this season ?
Just watched the 2nd episode and I loved it. Casting has been fantastic and I love how thats turned out. Absolutely love the interpretations of the various scenes etc.
Im blown away I couldnt be happier.
One question though, people complaining about the pacing.... what the feck do you mean exactly?
It feels like one of those onl;ine buzzwords that people use to make themselves sound intellectual or some shit.
The show is fantastic, this whinging about pacing just mirrors the feckwits who used that buzzword relative to the game.
Give me a fecking break you pretentious twats.

First episode I thought was okay.... Second was fking great
They really nailed the sounds. Brought back some unpleasant memories.
It's the actual actors apparently, as opposed to SFX.
Not a complaint I’ve heard but I absolutely love the pacing and buildup to everything in each episode so far.
I mean if you don’t understand what’s meant by pacing then that speaks volumes tbh!
Yeah so you wont explain it because its just a buzz word you like to throw around....
Scroll back a few
Pacing a ‘buzz word’?
Pacing probably became a buzzword during GoT season 7/8 now people have no idea when it applies.
That was amazing
I’m not really feeling it. It’s obviously really well made, so no shade on the quality of production. I’m just not finding post-apocalypse adaptation number 11,794,765 to be all that original or refreshing. There are some unique elements I suppose but it just feels like another zombie thing with a twist. Good acting, great production, but I find the material pretty dull tbh. I’m not familiar with the game, so perhaps just am not that connected to the universe.
Wow that second episode was so fecking good!
This is excellent so far.
It definitely applied to season 7/8 GoT. That was all over the place.
Hard to reply without spoilers or referencing the game, but your expectations are wide of the mark. If you like the characters so far, definitely keep watching.
I haven't watched the second episode and think the pacing in E1 was fine. Pacing isn't some sort of obscure film buff reference though. We all know when we're watching a film/tv series that some bits are fast-paced, some bits slow. If the pacing is good then the balance between the two is working. I assumed everyone would be familiar with that?
Loved the second episode. Great watch so far.
That was so much fun to watch. The tension and atmosphere is great. So far so great, cast has been really good too.
That kiss scene was creepy AF
the clickers were excellent, hadn't seen them in previews but they looked and sounded great
That kiss scene was creepy AF
I agree. Watching this is giving me the urge to play the game again for the umpteenth time!
EDIT: game specific spoilers removed.
Brilliant, loving the backstory at the start of each episode and hope they continue with this
Fantastic episode.
Anyone complaining about pacing so far is a raging psychopath.

Went to bed at 1 AM to wake up at 5 AM just because of the episode
Totally worth it.
