Compared to the video game, the show was okay. Some episodes were great and some episodes were terrible.
The episode with Frank and the other guy was surprisingly great! Considering it wasn't part of the video game. The episode of Ellie at the mall could have been a 5 minute flashback. I was hoping there would be more episodes similar to when they are ambushed and have to fight their way out of town. Those are the scenes that made the game great.
The show tried to move the story forward with flashbacks, which I feel didn't work. They would follow up an action packed scene or episode that left you wanting more with a slow, drawn out flashback. The pacing was off.
I feel like the final episode was too short. It felt like a quick summary of the end. They just rolled credits and leave you asking, "That's it?"
