I find it rather plodding at times with lots of needless dialogue and scenes that don't really advance the storyline. I don't find much of the dialogue that intriguing or riveting and the overall storyline is rather bland and basic. There are no simultaneous storylines or characters. Contrary to many, the character development other than Joel and Ellie is rather rushed. It seems every episode introduces some new "bad guy" and that bad guy is dispatched or disposed of within the same episode or by the next one for sure. I would have liked a lot more flashbacks to the beginning of the pandemic and how things started to go south.
My main reason for watching is the Calgary connection and looking out for filming locations!

I'm in the same boat, I stopped watching after episode 7. I don't really recognize any of Waterton and I understand the hospital in the next episode is in Olds.
The series pacing has felt off. In the game, you had hours of banter between the characters to grow their connection as you explore the map but that doesn't happen in the TV world.
It feels like this whole story doesn't have enough punch to be completed in only 9 episodes.
