The Last of Us season 2 episode 1 recently premiered, and just like last time, viewers are raving about Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey¡¯s performances. However, the introduction of a new character has sparked mixed reactions among fans. Episode 1 brings Abby, an important character from the game played by Kaitlyn Dever. While many were eager to see Abby¡¯s live-action debut, some fans familiar with the game have voiced concerns about her portrayal and limited screen time.
The group Abby is part of is revealed to be the Fireflies, a faction well known to fans of the series. We first meet Abby and her four companions early in the episode. However, after this brief introduction, the group disappears from the narrative for most of the runtime. They reappear only at the very end, five years later, as they sneak through the trees near the outskirts of Jackson.
As soon as the first episode was released, fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the premiere. Many praised the episode for its intensity and emotional depth. While the character of Abby continues to evoke a love-hate response from viewers, some fans were quick to point out her limited screen time, suggesting that the creators should have given her a more prominent presence. A few even argued that Abby¡¯s portrayal felt stripped down compared to her complex character in the video game.
However, there¡¯s hope among viewers that Abby will receive more substantial screen time and development in the upcoming episodes.
