Episode 2 hit me like a ton of bricks. Even knowing it was coming from the game, seeing it unfold on screen was devastating. Pedro Pascal’s performance was heart-wrenching, and Bella Ramsey’s portrayal of Ellie’s grief was equally powerful.
The episode’s direction, especially during the intense scenes, was top-notch. The infected horde attack on Jackson added another layer of chaos and urgency. Good work, HBO.
