I'm a fan of the original game. So far I like how they've written the show to be its own thing but still is accurate to the game. I see people saying it's just another zombie apocalypse series. Keep in mind that the original game was released in 2013 on PS3. So maybe the stories seemed like it'd be overused because in the past 10 years there are more apocalyptic shows.
I don't think they meant for this show to be the best apocalyptic show out there, but it exists to expand on characters and background stories that the game couldn't cover, for the nature that games just can't do. But I'll have to say that I really like it so far. It's very faithful to the original game.
Because it is a tv show, they have more time and a different way to develop the characters, where in the game they had to move fast into action.
Light spoiler ahead: I like the changes they've done so far. A lot didn't like Ep. 3. I'm not sure I understand why. I loved how they introduced Bill, and the backstory how he came to be with Frank. At first I felt the romance between them was forced (the acting was fantastic tho), but the ending was written so beautifully. The deviation from the game still has me in awe the way the game did many years ago. I love that as a fan of the game I can still be surprised.
Ep.4 it's very obvious this is more of a story about Ellie and Joel and less about zombies. So if you are hoping to see zombies, just go play the game.
So many haters out there. Just enjoy for what it is. If you hate it stop watching it. Don't come back to talk about how much you hate it. Get a life.
I like the actors they've casted so far. It's insane if you think the real life actors has to look like the characters in the game. I would rather have someone who does a good job as an actor and not look like the original characters than to have someone that's terrible in acting.
