This review will contain some spoilers of stories.
“Please, keep my hands” opens with a flashback depicting Isaac, the elusive leader of WLF played by Jeffrey Wright, who also played him in the game, it is captivating to get a little more background of the character, which ultimately was not too much in the original version of the story.
As you might expect from Ałunu Westworld, Wright has an intimidating still presence and we hope that the series does not explain too many As for his story, we can’t wait to see his commitment in the series as progressed. Mazin and Co. They prepare the war scene between WLF and Serap, and Wright’s performance is slightly more exacerbated by tension.
However, Ellie and Dina are the subject of this episode, and if you read our weekly reviews, you will know that we think that the chemistry of the couple is one of the strongest aspects of the HBO version of this story.
Understanding and cautious Dina Isabel Merced plays perfectly with the bold Ellie Bella Ramsey. One tries to take revenge, the other tries to keep them alive. This is a nice dynamics that puts seeds on what is to come.
In this episode there is entertaining post -apocalyptic candies, because two studied streets and summary records of records. There is a particularly nice tank almost completely covered by Moss, which we really loved. HBO tightens its budget muscles with a fixed project.
“Please, keep my hand” contains many key moments from the game and like any other episode, some of them simply do not hit the same level. We were worried in previous episodes about this version moving characters and how it will affect later moments in history. Ellie and Dina approaching the television station are the first time we saw crystallized worries.
Without becoming too broken in any version of history, Ellie and Dina follow another character when they are approaching the TV station in the game, they gave her a completely different level of tension and Bravury. Although it has a shock ratio here, the basic voltage is not the same as it means that the whole thing breaks down.
Fortunately, things improve (and drastically) in the second half of the episode. Ellie and Dina pass through the metro stand is one of the most intense scenes of the series, with an excellent direction. We sat on the edge of our places for the whole scene, which is just looking for things even more when they both head over the ground.
For us, this is one of the first times in which the series exceeded the game. Changes in infected and reactions of some characters raised the whole part of the story in a way we love. These are great things that we just would like to maintain the program.
We are elated to see how the rest of the season is progressing, although HBO has a tough job in front of it, and this season only three episodes remain. Although we are not entirely convinced that the series will stick the landing, with each recent episode we are approaching the belief that it is possible.
