Trivia
Lamar Johnson began learning the American Sign language via Zoom shortly after arriving in Calgary, and spent his time away from set learning the language. He did not want viewers to think his knowledge of the language was fake, and considered his performance important for Deaf representation. He felt spending time around Keivonn Woodard for production gave him a better grasp on the language; Woodard would sometimes correct his mistakes in scenes. Bella Ramsey similarly learned ASL during production.

Goofs
Joel is siphoning gas out of an abandoned car. 20 year old gas would be decomposed into varnish and would quickly destroy the engine of any vehicle in which it was used.

Quotes
Henry: Okay, um. I don't know what the next step is with something like this, but if I lower my gun, we didn't hurt you, so you don't hurt us, right?
Joel Miller: That's right.
Henry: That's a weird fuckin' tone, man.
Ellie Williams: That's just the way he sounds. He has an asshole voice. Joel, tell him he's okay.
Joel Miller: Everything is great.
Ellie Williams: Dude.

10/10

A lesson in synthesis, coherent writing

It's absolutely abysmal how they can lead you to care about the characters in so little time. One episode is enough for them to introduce characters, seamless and aptly carry you among their narratives and ultimately deliver some impacting and profound emotions you feel about them since you are already ensnared by their story.

I played the game. And nonetheless this was such a lesson in storytelling that I felt that need to put the controller down and reflect about what just happened all over again. There was no controller though. The joy of feeling what I felt back then another time, albeit in a different but similar way was fantastic. Such an amazing job, phenomenal adaptation. 10/10.
