show is missing Pedro Pascal for many reasons. The dynamic between he and Ellie was the driving force behind the show. He is also an amazing actor as proven by the most recent episode. I do not think anyone should be attacking Bella Ramsey for her looks. This is the fault of the writers for also not introducing the new characters to us before it took away the main character. The audience has no connection to this new cast, which leaves a gaping hole. I personally have not liked the episodes missing Pedro, and have very little hope it’s going to get better. Not if the last few episodes are any indication. I’m not a hater just a big fan of season 1 and the Joel/Ellie dynamic.
