Can't see a thread.

Anyone watching this? It's pretty good so far.

Episode 3

I'm hoping it will get a blu ray release as a lot of the HBO stuff does seem to (House of the Dragon came out on disc before christmas).

It's been a great show so far, but episode 3 was incredible.

Last night's episode was brilliant.

Been great so far. Second ep was enthralling and third was beautifully done.

Saw the first episode - really, really good! They should make a video game of it.

So is the first season going to cover just the first game or both games (if only the first are they bringing this back for a second season?). The first episode stuck very close to the game, I guess they're not going to branch out too much from the games story (I have no problem eitherway).

Finished both games. I remember the events and story beats from the first episode in the game so clearly, but after the opening of the first game its a bit of blur, so this will be like watching it if was new to me. Seriously from the first game after the opening sequence I remember;

- Ellie in a building walking through water
- A giraffe
- Pushing something out of the way then narrowly squeezing through a crevasse just in time
- A cute rabbitgetting killed
- Walking around a hospitalwith intermittent lighting

I should play them again at some point!

Edit. Talking of decent game adaptions the Fleabag woman is rumoured to be involved with a Tomb Raider show https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radi ... ies-amazon I'd watch the gooseberry fool out of that! Really enjoyed the (non-related) 2018 film. We've had the comic book to film era we're now about to enter the videogame adaption golden age

I’m going to get round to it at some point, suspect I’ll probably end up picking it up on disc (as I do still like having some series on disc), still have House of the Dragon to watch first.

Yeah, I wasn’t so sure about last nights episode at the start but by the end it was probably the best of the 3 so far.

All three episodes have been great, but I think ep2 was the best so far. They absolutely nailed Clickers!!

been enjoying it so far, and i think episode 3 was the best episode of any tv series i watched in years. was so well done.

Agree. Better than any single episode of any show I watched last year.

Haven't played the games, do I need any prior knowledge of them to enjoy the TV adaptation?

I wouldn't say you do. In fact it probably helps so you don't keep comparing the game and show.

Nah. I only know the start of the game and wouldn't say any knowledge at all is useful. The show explains everything well enough.

I’ve been enjoying it. Episode 3 seems to have people falling over themselves with praise for it, I didn’t really like it at all. Bill’s Town is probably my favourite chapter of the game and while I understand the need for changes I just didn’t like the representation of Bill they went with. In particular the meeting with Frank just seemed daft. I guess it’s largely a case of already having built up a picture of how things happened and then it differing from that.

Was episode 3 a beautiful and tragic love story?

NO! It wasn't exactly like the game.

Great banter

Thanks.

I wonder how TLOU2 will eventually be adapted without bumming people out on a weekly basis. It’s by design a very grim, punishing storyline. When I consider that lots of critics enjoyed this week’s ep because it felt looser and more light-hearted, I can’t help but think: ‘well, that’s your lot’.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did something else with S2 of the show before trying to adapt Part II. There's 5 years between games after all so plenty of time to fit something else in.
