Ok, I finally got far enough in the game that I felt I could watch the first episode without getting anything spoiled
So far I am VERY invested and loving how this show is coming together. They stayed true to the video game to the point that some of the scenes are literally shot for shot and I LOVE that. Pedro Pascal can do no wrong in my opinion, and Bella Ramsey IS Ellie. Like, the second she opened her mouth I bought into her portrayal of her. I'm so excited to see how the rest of the season plays out!
