> USA Network aired the made-for-TV movie “Call Me: The Rise and Fall of Heidi Fleiss” in 2004, with Jamie-Lynn Sigler starring as Fleiss.

an extremely 2004 sentence

The show isn't made by Netflix . .

The show isn't made by Netflix. They bought the rights when it was being shopped around.

Your point may be true that they wanted more action in the first season, though

Exact same end as the videogame that had me going "what??? Are these the end credits?? What???"

Don't usually like watching shows about people I can't stand (there is not a single character on the show I'd like to be friends with in real life), but somehow, this show has the magic.

Wrong, we don’t know if this is true

Logan dies and chooses skarsgaard instead of his kids? Somewhat predictable but logan will never transfer power while he is alive.

For the actors atleast they were told in the table read for final episodes

For me the show started out amazing and ended as good/very good. When they omitted zombies from the second half of the show I thought it was odd but I wasn’t super bothered by it. Then, after watching the finale and realizing that they were critical to the gravity of the final choice, I was very disappointed in the lack of zombie threats.

It felt like Jurassic Park without dinosaurs. Everyone in Boston and KC should just move west and restart civilization in Oklahoma instead. We just saw two characters travel by foot and horse for hundreds and hundreds of miles talking as loudly as possible including in downtown Salt Lake City and there’s no zombie threat there whatsoever.

So Joel made the right choice because the other option would not have had a meaningful impact on the world of The Last of Us.

I liked it but I don't feel any real hook into the next season, tbh.

Most big prestige shows, when S1 ends I'm chomping at the bit to get to the next season.

IMO the finale was relatively weak (it was a good hour of TV it just didn't really hit me emotionally ... I thought it was oddly paced and structured) so that's probably part of it.

I liked it but unlike the game we didn't get to spend a lot of time with Joel and Ellie together so their evolving relationship doesn't feel as meaty as I hoped it will.

I can't actually tell if you're being sarcastic or not?

Have not being familier with the game, I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would, I was hoping it would not be another 'Walking Dead' series, it's early still but right now I don't see it competing for many awards at the Emmy's (perhaps best actor/actress but I don't see it getting a best series nomination)

they've announced that the writers have been working on a Crows spinoff. i don't think it's officially announced though, so it may come to nothing.

hoping it does. the crows are why i keep watching.

I think for me it felt slightly too much like a video game. Maybe it's because I've played too many games, but scenes like the one where Joel is sniping zombies to protect Ellie in the crowd, or when Ellie has to crawl through a hole to open a door, or the big hospital shoot out (you had how many fireflies and none of them could even graze this guy that describes himself as over the hill a few episodes ago, before he went into a coma?) just left me with this "I am watching a video game" feeling.

I also felt it could be kind of blunt in a bad way, in the episode with the cannibals we know the preacher is bad because he's eating people, and we understand the threat of his attempt to groom Ellie. We didn't need to see him try to rape her in a burning building, an act he gets so distracted by that he lets himself get killed. That building was on fire, you wouldn't even be able to breath in there but he decides he has time for that? I couldn't buy it, it felt less than necessary. HBO's writing has really suffered, look at some of the spectacle scenes (were looking at you dragon pit) in house of the dragon, it's better than the latter game of thrones seasons but a lot worse than the early ones.

I get that a lot of people like that, but for me it didn't work. On the other hand I thought casting was excellent. Pedro and Bella really brought it home and without them I think it would be a lot less relevant.

great ending...

do you promise that everything you told me is true.

yes

OK

end season

I liked Season 1 because it was more comedic in tone. Its way too serious now.

Absolutely loved it

Bella Ramsey was brilliant as Ellie and Pedro Pascal was as great as always. Can’t wait for the second season

I didn't really expect for the first game to be finished in one season. Nothing really feels left out, but something feels missing from it. The story was great, the actors were better. But I feel like the pacing suffered in some areas. I give it an 8/10.

But what if we're in that kids head? X-Files theme plays

It was rushed, but a solid 8/10. /thread

They are under a lot of pressure to "dumb it down". It started out a little wacky, but every year they are told to make it stupider or be cancelled.

They are three years behind S.W.A.T.
