  • Are the creators proud of what they put on screen?

    Do they love the game? It’s very clear to me the writers of the show think Ellie is a whiny little incompetent brat. Bella Ramsey did the best they could with what they were given, my problems are in the script and directing of the character. The main character of season 2 is uninteresting, unmotivated, uninspired, and only survives the situations they’re put in by a deus ex machina at every turn over and over and over to the point of disbelief.

  • A sequel to every episode

    I thoroughly enjoy watching the episode and then jumping on the podcast to get just that little bit of nuance & info on specific choices for the characters! It really feels like each episode is two hours long & has even changed the way I considered some story lines. Highly recommend for TLOU fans ❤️🦠

  • After show

    Such a treat to hear those involved in the show and game talk about each episode. I couldn’t wait to listen to each one after watching the episode. Troy was a fantastic host once again.

  • Season 2 only

    Full disclosure I only engaged w the podcast for season 2 so only rating my experience with that. Primarily disappointed with how much this season seems to be relying on extras (post episode content, this pod) as essential supplementary material to tell the story. Hot take, I guess, but feels like the tv episodes should tell the story on their own without needing input from bonus content. Don’t get me wrong- I’m all for companion content that speaks to how the show was made and what the adaptati... more
