    Succession and Dark are the only recent ones I can think of off top that compare.

    But man Westworld....what an absolute waste of potential.

    I’ve been playing the game a bit. I met Bill a little bit ago so I’m basically on episode 3 right now lol. It’s interesting to see the differences between the game and the show

    By the way, HBO recently released a good 30 minute documentary on the making of this show. It’s really interesting for people who wanna see the behind the scenes thought process, with interviews from the actors, producers, and even Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson (the actors for Joel and Ellie in the game)

    This show gave me hope that Playstation Productions will also k--- it with "God of War" on Amazon Prime.
    It was d--- near perfect, for a adaptation.

    I am also incredible excited for Chad Stahelski (John Wick 1-4) directing a Ghost of Tsushima movie.

    This is apparently the official casting for Abby, she looks more like Ellie. As much as I loved the game, Ellie's castig lost me on this show and I gave up on it after a few episodes

    Yeah, I think Kaitlyn Dever was originally going to play Ellie in the canceled movie. I’ve been hearing theories that they might be going more with the original concept art of Abby
    where she was more of a perfect mirror of Ellie rather than this hulking force. It’ll be interesting to see the original Ellie casting face off against the new Ellie casting regardless.

    Westworld is the greatest tragedy in TV history for me. This era’s Lost.

    TLOU2’s story is way more interesting to me so I’m excited for the new seasons.

    I liked 2nd game better as well don't even know why people hated it so much, but man oh man the tv show sucks, Joel and Ellie are not what they are in the game, they didn't do them justice at all. Wanted to like it but I couldn't. Said I'll get back to it if the cast for Abby would have been at least decent but no way.

    I liked the show but maybe that’s because I didn’t play the games first. The characterizations of Joel and Ellie are definitely altered so I can see why people didn’t like it, but I can also see why the show runners made the changes to better fit a TV show format. I feel like a lot of haters of Part 2 will like it more in the show format, especially if the right changes are made.

    This s--- is dumb as f---. Getting the perfect girl to play Ellie to play Abby instead when she has 0 muscles, and then get the ugliest they/them they could find to play an annoying ugly a--- Ellie :ummmm:

    I think Pascal is ok as Joel. Prefer him shooting more Mando though, even if we rarely see his face.

    Hollywood, a place that is known for not making actors get muscular.

    Marsh would’ve loved the show if only Ellie was pretty. He liked Joel because Pedro Pascal is daddy.

    They should make Abby do Fortnite dances, I think that would be a great change from game to show.

    Can’t wait to see right wing YouTubers and Twitter Blue users get upset over the new trans character.

    These actors/actresses should look a bit like the character they are playing smh. Dever was perfect for Ellie.

    You can't escape this s---, at this point is in everything: games, movies, tv shows you either ignore it or don't watch it/play it. No point in complainig anymore, is a waste of time.
