I've played the game many times and thought the story was solid. So I didn't quite enjoy a lot of the changes in the TV show. But, I did really like the hive mind element. Would of loved to have seen Bill's story incorporate the action of the game's version. I really think the show would of been better if they'd stuck with Joel and Ellie exclusively instead of other character's stories. Loved the flashbacks setting up the outbreak and its initial beginnings, though I felt like these would begin each episode consistently, and possibly were planned to. This made me feel the series was altered in post production, changing the structure of some episodes as they seemed that way when watching. Overall it was good, but could of been much better.
