plot holes and lazy writing are acceptable if they are done in the pursuit of comedy
not acceptable for drama

Lol doubleling down cancels each other .
I read the spoilers and it was confirmed to me. But I don't want to discuss my non-opinions.
So would you like to confirm my might-opinions about the TV show. Is there any downtime fillers?

You are basing this on a flawed point.
You can be uninterested in watching or playing if you want. Nothing wrong with that.
But no you don't have a very strong opinion on a game you've never played. You don't have ANY opinion on it. You'd have to have played it to have one of those.
You are basically just announcing you are ignorant for no reason lol.

I have a very strong opinion about TLOU2 and I have never played it. I think I'm qualified to do the same for this show. Which I have plans of watching once it has enough episodes out.
I'm not saying the show is not good, but that it has the most potential to have fillers since they can't have a shoot out every 10 minutes like in the game. They'll stop to smell the flowers a lot longer, and have conversations sitting down instead of while on the move.
Yes, I know. It's a TV show, it can't have the same pacing as the game, so anything extra is going to be filler

So you saw stills of a show that has 3 episodes out but you think it has lots of filler despite never watching it?
That is legitimately the weirdest thing ive ever seen mentioned on here before lol.
At least watch shows before calling them filler.

Nope, I haven’t checked that show out. I think 40 minute episodes are great when there’s a variety of things happening on screen. But when all it is is this a focus on one guy whose demeanor hasn’t changed since season 1, it gets boring pretty fast.
But, I will say maybe that’s great for some people who want episodes that have a strong presence and silence instead of lots of action and dialogue.

Is it The Last Of Us?
That's actually what made me write this post.. I haven't watched it yet, but I had a feeling they'd have lots and lots of filler based on what I saw of image stills..

I hate non-diverse casts or shows that don't give female characters lots of space. but of course, if something exceptional-but-very-white-and-straight comes along, I will watch it.
also, "Babylon 5" really did have "high school theatre production" energy, as explained in this text. I loved it, but I don't want to watch anything with that kind of vibe for 100 episodes again. https://www.tor.com/2019/06/13/babylon-5-is-the-greatest-most-terrible-sf-series/

The quality of acting is the only thing a lot of the time that separates drama from melodrama.
The Leftovers for example can be very melodramatic at time but the acting is so good that you can give it a pass.

Technically it's "A God Walks Into Abar". It's a pun.

It’s very good.
I liked the rest of the season though. It reminded me nothing off a bad Steven Seagal movie.

It's like when Bender explained he couldn't get up when pushed onto his back.
Hermes: I've seen you get up off your back plenty of times!
Bender: I was always slightly on my side.
