The writing is what ****ed up this show, not the actors. Instead of doing a 2 part narrative with Ellie this season and Abby the next, they should have either added Abby scenes to the current show or alternated narratives between episodes somehow. As it stands, I wasn't really invested in Ellie killing Abby because they didn't show enough Abby and also, because Abby was justified in what she did. I think the writers ****ed up in letting us know who Abby was and why she killed Joel too early. If we didn't know and just thought some random girl killed him, we'd be more invested in Ellie finding her and getting revenge. As it is now...meh. Ellie is just bumbling around only surviving because of random deus ex machina moments in a story I don't really care about.

Ellie definitely has been written poorly compared to the source this season. This season was already going to be hard on viewers with how divisive it is with the game. Even people I've seen reviewing that liked the game and s1 are saying it's not a great season. I enjoyed it and agree with that too. It's gonna be hard to wait 2 years esp with the ok finale and how rushed this season was. They need to get Ellie figured out and not just her looks cause they didn't bother people really in s1.
