It’s an episode with really sharp writing. It’s slower, but The Last of Us is slower in places with the game, too. It’s a series far more interested in character than action.
Without spoiling too much about the rest of the series, Bill and Frank’s story is a microcosm of the broader themes the story is going to follow. Bill in particular tells us a lot about Joel’s character, because Bill correctly sees that he and Joel are very alike.
