[quote=Anonymous]Was talking to friends about this show last night. They had all watched a couple episodes before determining it was too sad and/or scary to keep watching. I'm fairly sensitive so I'm actually surprised I'm the only one still watching. And it really is horribly sad. Episodes 3 and 4 were not very scary but the latest episode was extremely stressful and of course very tragic.

I think what is maintaining my interest is Pedro Pascal. It's really exciting to see him get this chance to play such a complex central character. I have been a fan of his for a while but I feel like before The Last of Us and Mandalorian, the biggest showcase he had was that short stint on Game of Thrones. Which was great, but only a handful of episodes. And while his character was really fun, he was written in such a shallow way, so there was less for him to do. And of course on the Mandalorian, he's in a helmet the entire time.

He's just crazy talented and it's actually bizarre to me that after working for decades and having bit parts in a bunch of TV shows and movies, he's only now getting something this meaty. But he's really good in it and I feel like he's getting a chance to really unfold this character over time, too. Bella Ramsey (who I also loved in GoT, again in a small but extremely memorable role) I was unsure about at first because of some of the choices she was making, but I've come around and like her portrayal as well -- I think it's more that it's unclear if I like Ellie or not, but I have come to believe that's the point.

But Pedro Pascal is really the selling point for me. He's just so good. I have to see it through to the end for that alone. Even though it's kind of hard to watch at times.[/quote]
