Well it's only 1 episode but this is already the best movie/show adaptation of a video game ever, and by a wide margin. The infected grandma tweaking out in the blurry background, the little details pulled in word for word from the game ("I sell hardcore drugs"), the cinematography, all brilliant. And I'm sure that starting a family in between my first playthrough of LoU and this series played a role, but holy #### Sarah's death hit me way harder, even knowing it was coming
As for Ellie, I was never a part of the hate train for Bella Ramsay but I was curious to see if she would try to match the game or put a different spin on the character. Soon as she dropped her first "Mother####er!" though my first thought was "Nope, that's full Ellie". Every casting decision so far has been nailed 100%, I'm going to be glued to my TV every Sunday night to watch this same-day as it airs, which I almost never do with any show
