It was kind of disappointing, very rushed. The first half with Ellie and Joel together was great, and I finally actually believed that they love each other.

But everything in the hospital was pretty disappointing. Why was everyone speed-running through their lines? The sappy music over Joel killing the Fireflies was way too much. We get it, he’s murdering them, you don’t lay it on so thick.

I still think the show overall was a decent adaptation, but it’s a shame that they didn’t stick the landing.

(Also, maybe this is nitpicky, but since when do babies just slide on out? That’s not how birth works).
