    Didn’t play the second game, but the issue I had with season 2 was it was disjointed and you could ‘feel’ the game style storytelling.

    While the first game from a story standpoint was very much on rails, I’d gather that the second game was very much not linear levels like the game was for the first one?

    Bella is a decent actress, but she’s not a series lead. The show felt too heavy for her shoulders, and that’s okay. Idk how much of the characters development (or lack thereof) was her or the game storytelling, but it just felt flat as the season progressed if that makes sense.

      The show is amazing but ep 7 was very weak. The magic bullet was a kin to jumping the shark. I’m sure the 7 ep season didn’t help.

        Honestly the last few episodes weren’t that good to me. 7 is too short for a show, and she wasn’t a good enough actress to carry the show without Pedro.

        That’s okay, it’s just an issue for them to solve.

      It does ping pong between different flashback perspectives and whatnot. I… probably wouldn’t call it linear.

      This might be more up for debate, but I did really like Ellie’s character development in Part 2; it echoed some things I thought about Joel in Part 1.

        For me her character just seemed very one note. She seemed to have remorse at the end for the ACTION she did, but the problem is, she was just very ‘here’s my goal and I’m going to do it’ the rest of the season.

        Idk, to each their own, but the story was way worse than season 1 for me.
