Honestly the game just has fantastic writing, dialogue, and emotion. But you just cant expect that same level from a tv show. A game allows you to take as much time as you want; you spend a lot more time exploring and searching every nook and cranny of every area, and to make what would normally be a tedious undertaking interesting, theres so many small moments peppered in everywhere of Joel and Ellies relationship growing, or even just the characters talking to themselves. They all give you insight into their personalities, their emotions, and their relationships with others, taking place over tens of hours, and its done so well. A tv show just doesnt have the time to do that for you. In some ways, the show feels slightly rushed to me, and I do think they could have taken a little more time with some of the story beats. But even so, it would never match up to the game experience. I still enjoy the show for what it is and appreciate its existence.
