I've seen a lot of comparison to Station Eleven since last night's episode, but, for me, the emotional gut punch of last night's TLOU actually highlighted how little emotional connection I felt to Station Eleven. With few exceptions (like Frank's rap and Miranda's episode), Station Eleven generally left me cold.

Yeah I felt the same way. Very little emotional connection to the story or world. I enjoyed moments of the show but on the whole never got into it. Disappointed

>!Jeevan and Kristen!< in the last episode legit made me cry. I never cry at media like this. I found it full of emotion. Maybe it just hit me at the right moment in my life.

That was the only relationship I did genuinely care about in the show. But I think by the arrival of the last episode I was so disconnected that this moment didn't hit like it should have for me.

That’s exactly me. The reunion didn’t do anything for me, whereas the scenes in the apartment were extraordinary.

Ugly cried big time. 65 yr old white male.

I’ve never understood why people tell you they cried, and then they’ll tell you they’re also a white adult male like this somehow makes their crying exceptional.

It's is a learned behavior for me. I am glad that it doesn't make sense to you. It gives me hope that ugly stereotypes are changing.

Men are told not to show their emotions in society.

Yep I don’t get the praise at all, I didn’t feel connected to any of the characters in Station 11

Fully agree! Last Of Us 3 was the sort of experience I was expecting from Station Eleven based on the station eleven trailer. S11 had some interesting moments, but it mostly felt like a conventional apocalypse show to me.
