I really liked that Jakarta flashback in the beginning. It's great that they add scenes to give some background regarding the outbreak and explain the infection in more detail.
I thought it was clever that they gave Ellie a second bite to drive home the point that she really is immune, whereas Tess, who was bitten at the same time, is deteriorating fast. They obviously used spores in the game to do this, but since they're not using those in the series, the second bite was a good choice. The infection "kiss", I'm less sure about ... even with Mazins explanation, that was weird af.
Absolutely loved the scenery. I've always felt the world in TLOU with nature taking over was stunning, and the series is no different from the games in that regard. It's pretty funny to read the location watching stuff, I'm sure this is an awesome aspect for you guys. Thought the second clicker looked a bit weird, but I loved how they introduced them to the series. Still not 100 percent convinced by Bella Ramsey in her role as Ellie, but I think it's coming.
Looking forward to Bill and Frank.
