The series defiantly has it's strong sides such as the visuals for example the series for the most part looks great
acting wise it's a mix pascal being pascal an experienced good actor and Ramsey defiantly new to the industry (well it's not as if you can expect a someone this young to have years of experience but still a bit of a disappointment in my opinion)
the writing is also very mixed some episodes are better then others and i mean by a lot
lots of good character development struggle weight to the story but the emotional weight just isn't really there a lot of people might point to the 3-7 episodes as an emotional filler/.... but they're mostly just standalone fillers (i'll get to that)
(spoiler) emotionally speaking by the end of the series rescuing ellie to the determent of the world just doesn't make sense we see the 2 grow closer together but we don't really see a strong enough emotional bond before the episode
there are also a lot of aspects of the story which feel rushed and not fully thought through like for example telling joel she's going to die/harvested after he made his entire way to the hospital idk the old villain secrete plan reveal feels a bit like a cliche in this context
there's also tons of filler and i mean lots and lots of filler 9 whole 45-50 minute 'ish episodes so far yeah i can see how i'd be difficult to fill them some episodes are much better like episode 8 for example some are really poor like episode 7 the entire plot/emotional narrative of episodes 7 could've literally been fitted into 10-15 minutes.
Dialogue can often be good and often slow boring and just drawn out because again there are around 6.5-7 hours of content to fill so yeah disappointing.
Not bad but really overrated.
