    I'm still enjoying it, although I'm getting increasingly annoyed at the "Walking Dead/Video Game Logic" that keeps popping up. Like there's a wall of guns at Bill and Frank's, but let's not take a single one of them.

    But I like your description of it being a human drama first, that's the truth.

        What did you think of ep 5?

        I am still enjoying it but get frustrated with having to wait a week to watch the next epi

          It's overdone in anime (maybe why people online were more critical?) but it's refreshing to see a movie where the solution isn't just to overpower/beat them. Talk no justsu kinda.

              If episode 8 is like episode 7 I'm probably out.

                It was very average, that is certainly not in the game until LOU2 that particular theme.

                Stick with it - the game goes next level about here especially for Ellie.

                They've stayed true pretty much to the story, however this did really feel like a filler episode so they could meet their quota.

                  Slow episodes are fine when you are able to binge shows, but when you are waiting a week at a time ones like last night are harder to take.

                  I'm enjoying it so far but jeez I wish I had it all in one hit to watch it at my own pace. We like to Binge nowadays, just let us have it all haha.

                    Happens a lot with USA made series. You get to around 6, 7 and not much is happening.

                    Most of the British shows go for around 5 to 6 episodes which is about right. Having said that, I am sticking with it.

                      I’m very late to the party but I’ve just gotten hooked on The Good Place. Hard to find a more wholesome, pleasant way to spend 20 mins.
                      Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                          It's only a 9 episode season so would be a shame to bail with only 1 episode remaining.

                          I think they could have done the episode a little differently but I still enjoyed it. I'm not here to watch non stop zombie action. If that's what people are expecting they are watching the wrong show.

                              Yeah, and EW said he's out if he doesn't enjoy episode 8, which would leave 1 episode unwatched. I can count being an accountant.

                                I've not played the game but didn't that episode (Left Behind) come directly from a DLC of the same name in the game? My understanding is it's just been introduced at a different point than in the game but being a flashback I'm not sure it matters too much.
