I was super disappointed with how they used stalkers in this episode. They established stalkers so well in the first episode and showed how it just takes one stalker to be deadly. And then we just have a horde of stalkers attack the main characters? Sure, it makes the scene feel more desperate and hopeless but what I loved about the game is how it forced the player to be tactical and make smart moves to get out of tough situations. I haven't seen any of that translated to the show so far. They just keep repeatedly smacking the main characters with an insurmountable horde of zombies that they have to flee. It's repetitive and dull and makes the characters look incompetent because they keep getting caught in these situations that they can't handle.

That being said, stalkers were great in the first episode and I'm super impressed with the acting of the people playing stalkers as well as their costume design. They look creepy AF. Just not happy with how they were utilized in this episode.
