The Last of Us

Last episode was vastly improved, but considering that there are nine episodes in the first season and likely only to be content for a second season if they draw from the game's sequel, they sure seem to be burning through supporting characters in a hurry. The current formula of "limited series" with just a handful of episodes probably keeps things from getting stale, but doesn't leave much room to develop anyone outside of the core characters.
They are rushing the character development waaaaay too much. Episode 6 was interesting but basically took what I assumed was a major plot point and time-jumped to/from it awfully quick. Maybe this is what you get with a show based on a video game these days?
Episode 7 was mostly a throwaway. Predictable on many levels. It could have aired at any point during the season, although if it was right before/after Episode 3, I probably would have abandoned ship.

Maybe it's part of that "limited series" aspect of the show, where they know they aren't going to be having side characters reappear three or four seasons from now, so just kill `em off right away.
One of my coworkers has a college-age kid who claims that they're staying true to the video game, and I understand that angle, but it seems to me like it's a storytelling style that caters to short attention spans.
