Finished watching The Last of Us season 2. I didn’t like it.
spoiler
I haven’t played the games, so have no preconception of what the show should be like. I didn’t like the main character developing into an even more dislikable person than season 1. Yes yes, not all characters need to be likeable and I get the whole anti-hero thing adds complexity to a storyline, but it was too much. I was just constantly annoyed by her, and constantly annoyed that everyone pandered to her. For someone to be an anti-hero they need redeeming features. I struggled to see any. And the big shock in episode 2 where the character I liked most was killed off, it left me disappointed because I thought he was the best part of the show. The whole thing was just one long string of miserable fallout due to an arrogant self-indulgent persons actions. The end.

I stopped watching when the likeable character was killed off. I don’t want to watch a soapie with characters I just don’t care about or relate to.
I stopped playing the game shortly after that point.
It killed me emotionally and made me hate the game.
