    I don’t think it was Bella’s acting that fell short. I think they just gave them shitty writing. Bella portrayed Ellie’s character so well in S1 (never played the game) and S2 is just a different person. Even the flashbacks in S2 have S1 Ellie vibes.

      Good point. It could be that! It could be both as well - Bella and the writers.

      All I know is that one of the parties involved in Ellie’s portrayal messed with the formula and made it a lil worse than S1.
