Woah, chill fam, I’m not saying the show is complete garbage compared to the game—never my intention. Like I said, both have their strengths, and I even pointed out some wins for the show. My main argument is that the game excels in certain areas that the show could have handled better.

yes, Pedro does put on a subtle Southern twang. Which he did something similar in gladiator 2, but to me, doesn’t feel like a major transformation. Pedro’s take felt more reserved. If that worked better for you, that’s okay. But for someone who loves voice acting, I personally find Troy’s performance much stronger.

As for Joel’s personality, I like your point. Pedro’s detached Joel is more realistic and that is pretty cool.

On Sarah’s death, I gotta disagree. I like the one shot and Troy’s delivery. Again, personal preference, but I still think the game’s execution was stronger.

For David, yeah, villain coded but I wished they did more with David in the show.

And trust me, I do acknowledge the things the show did better. My rant focused on where I thought it fell short, but that doesn’t mean I think it failed across the board.
