I don’t want to disappoint you, but this is better than most. At least there were some positive, but overly harsh actions in this series, the overwhelming message I took from it was love, sacrifice, and loyalty. Where else you going to get that from a mainstream action show. All good plots revolve around love and loyalty, and this was no different. Sure, it had it share of bullshit and counter programming, but it was easy to recognize and ignore. But, to each their own I suppose. Little house on the prairie is gone, and I liked that show too.
Only because you’ve lowered your expectations so much - you think a saltine is a ritz cracker.
Just finished the season finale.
I've enjoyed this show, but I like the post-apocalyptic genre. I kinda wish I'd waited until a few seasons were in the bag before I started watching it, which is exactly what I did with The Walking Dead.
I wouldn't expect you'd find many fans on this forum. Twenty years ago, yes, but those FReepers have left.
Looking forward to Season Two. Apparently there will be a significant time jump and a different actress will be playing Ellie.
FWIW, I know nothing about the video game. I've never played it.
