Hi everyone. We've have had some comments on the editing, which is a fair criticism. Believe me, we don't want the episode to be hidden and transparent so that you can hardly see it, but those were the measures we had to take. The video was blocked several times and we went through countless edits to make it available. However, for Episode 2 we will watch other reactors and format the edit in a different way to try to improve the video quality. Thanks for understanding!

[@kaleyrose47]

I’m also not a gamer, and this show and this cast/characters mean everything to me! It’s such a powerful story. Can’t wait to experience it with you!

[@kai_masters]

Glad to have you along with us! Episode 3 drops tomorrow!

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

That's why they are called Runners, the stage one infected. The actress that plays Marlene also played her in the game. There will be other cameos later on.

[@kai_masters]

Thanks for the info…we’re excited to see what this show has to bring

[@scalefree]

So this is the show. Heartwrenchingly beautiful stories of people surviving the apocalypse with occasional scenes of horror involving the monsters that caused it. The details will vary but the pattern repeats pretty much every episode. This is a show you really need to count the cost for & be prepared to pay it each time. If you can't, best to bow out now. I'm really not kidding at all.

[@kai_masters]

We loved the first episode so we’re fully invested!

[@jubilantsleep]

Love and loss

[@angelgirl9975]

I'll be following along for you guys' reaction! Love finding smaller channels to follow along with.

[@kai_masters]

Welcome aboard! We’re glad to have you!

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

That was the kid who you saw a few minutes earlier.

[@Quzga]

I'm desperately looking for reactors who haven't played the game, so thank you! As a massive tlou fan, seeing blind reactions is the best Also people who played the games coming into comments complaining about wrong theories, takes etc are so dumb. You can't expect someone to understand the rules and world in one episode. Ever since I played it back a decade ago I've hoped and hoped it would turn into a show. So it's legit dream come true that it's the first game adaption that is good.

[@kai_masters]

Thank you for your kind words and welcome to the channel! Season 1 was amazing and we can’t wait to see what Season 2 brings!

[@SimeonToko]

You are going to love the show. Just remember the date of the outbreak to put future episodes in context.

[@kai_masters]

Gotcha! Sounds like it jumps back and forth in time…

[@DiegoSanchez-jh2oz]

Let's go! First episode, get ready for the ride

[@diaphanouswaffle]

Side note: digging the T-shirt, "100% vaccinated and still anti-social"...right on, same here :)

[@kai_masters]

Haha, I'm surprised you were able to catch that...

[@swanson]

"Well he used her as a shield." That's literally THE OPPOSITE of what he did.

[@kai_masters]

It was said in the heat of the moment

[@Lue_Jonin]

Was really looking forward to reaction videos of this, shame the film volume is to low to bother watching.

[@kai_masters]

We fixed the editing in the subsequent episodes so they’re worth checking out!

[@lautarogilescudero6238]

ooo last of us! so beautiful! let me tell you something here you are going to cry a lot , ... but you are going to enjoy this show! I assure you continue this journey! huge reaction! what an insignificant fungus managed to do Destroy the world and if you saw the prologue of chapter 1 it is a reality corydyceps exists recommendation look at chapter 2 and the prologue and they will understand a little more cheers guys!! Sarah death is so sad

[@kai_masters]

We love the show so far! Thanks for sharing your insight 😀

[@lautarogilescudero6238]

@@kai_masters hehe it's a pleasure I like to help and share😊

[@Anakinskywalkerfan1]

Fun fact all filmed in Alberta

[@mjdaniel8710]

Great first season, beautifully traumatic

[@wuastwais]

❤❤❤

[@lindataggart9076]

Joel didn't shield her..

[@kai_masters]

Not intentionally, but unfortunately she was in front of him when the officer shot at them. It was a heartbreaking moment 💔

[@archaeologyfornon-archaeol1014]

He did not use her as a shield, he tried to dive out of the way, while still holding her.

[@kai_masters]

That’s probably a better interpretation than mine…I was just reacting in the moment 😢

[@forkless]

He obviously tried to dive out of the way, that said she did effectively end up being a shield -- as crass as that may sound.

[@kai_masters]

That’s probably what we meant. Obviously that wasn’t his intention but that’s seems like how it went down 😪

[@archaeologyfornon-archaeol1014]

He is holding her the gun is rising rapidly in the shooters hands, he had no time to do more than try to dive out of the way with her in his arms. Most likely the word "used" as a shield , as if deliberate, is not at all what the reactor meant.

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

I don't think they kill her off, lol

[@kai_masters]

I guess I was wrong 😳

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

@@kai_masters lol

[@didiportia4995]

Good reaction, but I do have to say, JOEL DID NOT USE HER AS A SHIELD!!! HE WAS, IN FACT, TRYING TO TURN HER AND SHIELD HER!!! That was such a nonsensical thing to say! If you watch it gain, you will see that he does, in fact, try to turn his back to the officer! She just ends up getting shot. ( :E

[@kai_masters]

Thanks for your comment. Keep in mind these are first-time reactions and that much of what we say is spontaneous. This show is very emotional and so we didn’t always have the opportunity to logically process what we were saying in the moment. Obviously, we now realize that he was trying to protect her. Nevertheless, we appreciate the feedback.

[@Judymoe]

Honestly? I f I had a pickup truck, I might let someone with a kid get in the back, but not in the cab; I'd transport, but not interact.

[@kai_masters]

That’s a great solution!

[@willvr4]

Only if I made sure they weren't armed first.

[@kai_masters]

@will it might be hard to tell in the dark, especially if they’re hiding any weapons.

[@archaeologyfornon-archaeol1014]

Not the best editing I have seen, and I have seen many reactions for this series.

[@kai_masters]

Thanks for the feedback. How would you improve it? We are willing to learn. But copyright issues make it really difficult.

[@archaeologyfornon-archaeol1014]

I have heard that from Other reactors. I have no idea how to handle that but you might take a look at how groups like Blind Wave have done the same Episode.

[@kai_masters]

I will do that. Thanks for the tip
