I saw the episode, was not impressed at all. I have not played the Video Games or spoiled myself but Nick Offerman’s character being gay and him offing himself as soon as his partner decides to off himself was predictible af.
Hmmm I would say it’s a 6 mainly because I don’t see the point of making most of the episode about that relationship in order to only have the letter to Joel make sense to us.
The 1 star ratings jumped from 1% to 25% from one episode to the next. Given the outspoken criticism of the show for "going woke" from certain corners of the internet, its a pretty safe assumption.
I don't really see how anyone can honestly believe that the episode was a 1/10. Even if you didn't like it there were lots of redeeming qualities that would bump it up a few points. The only reason to give it a 1/10 is to review bomb it and the only motivation for that is being against the content of the episode.
No, I am assuming that when tens of thousands of non-viewers of a show take the time to rate an episode (that they haven't watched) 1/10, they are doing that for a reason. I doubt it takes a genius to figure out what that reason is.
I guess, if you're looking for something to be offended by. 'Episode ratings by volume and subject relative to number of viewers, and the conspiracy theories behind them'- wow. I wish I had the spare time to think about stuff like that.

Fortunately I ignore user ratings altogether.
Episode 3 was fantastic and if I didn’t know that I would follow world of moot of a user rating.
Honestly the show’s episodes are early 2000’s PiXAR level where It’s hard to think of it in terms of what’s best lol.
They’ve been stellar and 3 is likely going in my all time favorites.
