have watched the first two episodes & right now i'm firmly in the "it's ok." camp. i don't know if it's because i liked the game (brother played, i read out the walkthrough) or it's because i saw other people getting excited for the new episode every week or what. but we're not quite 1/3 the way trough, so my feelings might change.
the actors seem fairly well cast. once or twice, from certain angles, i thought pedro pascal looked a bit like joel from the first game. i don't think i've heard pascal speak before. there's been a bunch of gifs going around because he's the latest guy the internet is into (i don't get it, but whatever makes people happy).
but i was thinking he sounded like some other actor. my brother thought that maybe he was trying to sound like joel from the game. but then it came to me; there was a tv show called time trax that ran for a year in the 1990s (syndication, i think) about criminals from the year 2193 using time travel to go back to 1993 to escape the law. a cop from 2193 is sent back into the past to catch them & return them to the future to face justice (can see why it lasted a year). pascal kind of sounds like the cop, played by dale midkiff. or at least how i remember him sounding.
tv,
