If you want to be legit, would a VPN sub to HBO Max work? Or once the whole series has aired I think you can buy the digital box set on Amazon Prime or other EST services. Can confirm before HBO was made available in Andorra I used a VPN. Worked with no issues. |

Could you put that on the internet too? Geefe would only give it 6/10. “Should have stamped on it more.” Geefe would have asked what “stamping” means. |

4k, HDR and Dolby Vision but that's on my Xbox. Normal pc would be whatever your monitor or laptop has.

Sounds good to me. It’s a very pretty show and the drawback of press previews is you have to make do with HD. And the fact that the show is watermarked throughout. And they spelled my name wrong on the watermark.

Does the game say how the virus started? Feels like the show already has.

Well I quite enjoyed that, I was a bit concerned they'd got the casting of Ellie off before I watched it but she's a great fit, as is the rest of the cast, roll on Monday.

Yes the game does say how the virus started, it was spread from crops from South America that made their way into the food chain. I don’t remember that at all, I need to stop skipping cut scenes. I thought the TV show opening with John Hannah was extremely well done and tapping into current warming issues etc The whole thing was class really bar a couple of too neat meetings that were done better in the game. |

The show seemed to have a strong focus on them avoiding certain foods at the start. |

Was good, but once again NowTV bitrate is a shocker.

Managed to sneak a full HD 1080 off someone else's sky (top tip - download the fucker and you get no adverts)
Jolly good. Confused a bit by 1968 then 2003 but quickly made sense. It's sort of crazy we live in a world where the live action just wholesale takes lines, shots and delivery entirely from the game.
Can imagine THAT early on scene, before the time jump, came as a shock to someone who didn't expect it.
The only thing I will say is the Ellie reveal has more impact in the game. Felt a bit undercooked.
Good that we've introduced knives early on, though. That'll be dead useful in the next section.

This was indeed absolutely excellent, 10/10.
But I'm still not sure about Ramsey. Her acting was a bit… wooden? I don't know. Maybe it will improve over the next episodes.

It doesn’t air in the US for another couple of hours (9EST/6PST), so even with a VPN, it wouldn’t be up yet.
