I hated that they did a race swap for Sarah but honestly I think she did a great job at the character. Hate Pedro as a person but he's always a solid actor and does Joel well. I'm with

though and wouldn't be surprised if this goes down the shitter as the season progresses.- 1

Has she never watched The Walking Dead or any other post apocalypse type show?
I have not played the game but it's fairly obvious that it's based in a sanctuary city administered/controlled/protected by some form of Government agency, and that there's a set of freedom fighters. Anyone with knowledge of post apocalypse stories can fill in the blanks with educated guesses.
The only part that wasn't so clear was who the people holding Anna Torv were.

Yeah I normally hate that shit, but at least she played the role really well. Hate when it’s some ugly ass diversity hire that can’t manage to form a coherent sentence through the Ebonics.

I don't get it either. If the actor is good and it doesn't change the character, then why not.

By and large, GOT last two seasons notwithstanding, HBO usually does a pretty damn good job. They're woke as hell, but their adaptations are pretty reliable. Thought this was good. Annoyed at race swaps, yes. But I thought Pedro was convincing as a Joel. Too bad we can't have white heroes, but he did a decent job. They didn't emasculate him. The relationship seemed one where a dad and daughter bonded after a tragedy ( mom died? she's never really mentioned in the games or what happened) and the daughter tries to help take care of him as he takes care of her. Girl as Sara was pretty good, but the most unbelievable thing was race swapping Joel to hispanic guy and him marrying a black woman? Lol..those two groups are more racist against each other than whites against anyone. I'm assuming that Sara has always been his biological daughter.
Wife liked it, but she watched me play the first game all the way through. She had forgotten the title though so it took her until the run through town to remember. Anyway, that was my one TV show for the week other than an errant seinfeld episode. Back to ignoring 95% of entertainment made today.

That was why Sandman was made how it was and I was fine with how it played out. Reality is Joel's wife in the game was never fleshed out at all so they could have her be anyone, and they picked a very talented young actress to play a minor part and she did a fantastic job so I was fine with it.

Never played the game since I'm not a console person, but always wanted to (although hearing about TLOU2 kind of soured that). Kind of feel like I can't read this thread though because of all the fags who want to talk about the game and will inevitably spoil it (I've only been skimming a lot of posts cause I can tell it's happened already).
Anyway, the first 30-35 minutes or whatever was good shit. Oddly, I thought the kid actor in that was really good and kept thinking, "for once I don't hate a child actor." But then I realized Ellie is the main kid and...I'm not sure about that one. I'd agree that the 2023 stuff seemed to drag a bit more, but it still seemed better than 99% of TV these days. Didn't have any issues following anything like some of you said.
It's definitely one of those things where I want to say to my wife, "See, video games have surpassed movies and tv shows for storytelling. They're on a whole different level now." Since she's kind of one of those wives who tolerate my gaming but I think secretly hates it. I'm about 50 hours into Death Stranding (thanks Epic Games), and I mentioned to her that it's all a bunch of actors and has Norman Reedus, so it seems like good timing to drop that line about storytelling.

Sony sucks so hard. The Last of Us Part 1 is still $70. But if you sub to PS plus preimum they will give you a free trial of the game. This show made me want to replay the game on PS5 but not for $70

I watched videos and it’s barely noticeably better than the last ps4 remake. I’m not buying the game for a third time.

This is somewhat true in my case. Never played the game, loved the first half with all hell breaking loose but I felt a bit of the same when the time jump happened. I just assumed it will all play out and i'll get the info I need to understand. I did wish there was a bit more info on factions laid out early though.
