Hitting many of the same narrative beats, recreating iconic shots, and expanding upon the original digital design withhad, through its first two episodes, deliberately and closely echoed the postapocalyptic game on which it’s based. From the beginning, the question of how the adaptation would eventually set itself apart was twofold, a matter of both when it’d shift directions and to exactly what degree.
In “Long Long Time” we meet Offerman’s Bill in 2003, the show’s earliest ongoing timeline so far, as the episode begins. His survivalist paranoias improbably come true as the world starts melting down. Singularly equipped to, yes, survive in the world that nobody but him saw coming, he constructs a bunker and an entire electrical ecosystem around it to live comfortably for as long as he wants.
Veterans of TV known for their more offbeat characterizations, Bartlett and Offerman pull off something magical in just a single episode, believably developing a relationship that initially feels new and exciting and strange, then turns worn and a little cranky and genuinely profound. The chemistry is natural and quiet, the depth of the performances intricately woven between them.
The coup of “Long Long Time” comes down, in many ways, to just how quickly it establishes deep intimacy between the men. Bartlett and Offerman say that Mazin’s script laid much of the groundwork for allowing them to jump in, find that particular romantic texture, and then pop out for the main story to continue progressing. “We were set up for success,” Bartlett says. “Some of these scenes are very vulnerable and very delicate.
The most garbage & uncalled-for episode. This is what's expected of a man named 'Peter Hoer' to direct an episode like this! This episode should have sufficed Joel & Ellie entering the house, finding the letter & leaving with the truck, instead of stretching fag love. Pathetic!
