One thing I like about this show is that while it is clearly still serialized and there is a general story they’re following (finding Tommy, delivering Ellie to the Fireflies, the development of the Joel/Ellie relationship, etc.), it’s also episodic in that there is a defined beginning, middle and and an end to several episodes as they tell the stories of the other characters they come across on their journey or in their past (Frank/Bill, Henry/Sam, Riley, and now this cannibal cult). There’s no lingering in any one place with the same characters and it is making these episodes just fly by. It’s been exceptionally well done.
