Do I like this episode as part of Last of Us? No, I was expecting something different from this series. More action and adventure, less emotional trauma and humanity.

Hmm, for me that's a strange take from someone who played the games. The heart of the Last of Us always was about tragedy and how humanity handles such a catastrophe. Action and adventure in the games was mostly there to not loose interest as a gamer between the story. That's just how these two different medium work. Obviously a live action series can't work on the same formula to keep it's audience engaged. That's one reason why there wasn't that much zombie action since too much of it will get old pretty quickly and the writers didn't wrote a brainless zombie action adventure but a human drama tale.
