Spoiler!

I think the problem is that show watchers dislike Ellie for different reasons than game players. In the game you’re supposed to be frustrated with her obsession with revenge. But in the show she just seems like an immature spoiled brat. I don’t think they’ve done nearly a good enough job at showing us that Ellie is straight up obsessed with finding Jules killer and bringing them to justice. To the point where she’ll sacrifice any and all relationships with anyone else she cares about.
