Before this show, I still had my doubts with vedeogame adaptations, lately there have been good ones but none of them were great or trascendent, and I was expecting something similar to happen to this show, I thought that since the base story is really solid, they would try to not make a lot of changes and just be safe so that it wasn't a failure, but just after watching the first episode, I knew I was completly wrong and that the people behind the show, was going all in, in trying to make the best show they could make.
I have never played the game but I knew the story and how it went but it still managed to surprise me in almost evry way, the first episode started as good as it could have been. Im not ven sure how to describe this show, it just make me feel excited to see what came next, even I knew Joels daughter was going to die, I still wanted her to survive despite knowing her fate and just having watched for 1 episode, I quickly liked all the characters they introduced despite also knowing their fates, the storytelling, the special effects, the cinematography, everything is very well done, and despite it being almost a copy paste from the videogame on some scnees, it translates awesome on this new format, at the middle of the season it starts to take less and less risks and stops showing us less of what happened before the outbreak and just relies on the source material making it a little slower and a little bit more tedious but only a little, because once you start to watch the episode, you cant stop and it leaves you wanting more. A good show I really liked overall. I cant wait to see the second season and see how they adapt the story from the second game, considering how it was received. I just hope its as good as this first season.
