Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Five years after the events in Salt Lake City, a now 19-year old Ellie makes a discovery while on patrol with her best friend Dina. Back in Jackson Hole, Joel seeks help to mend his relationship with Ellie.
Our Take
A quiet, patient premiere that leans on atmosphere over action, which mostly works thanks to the chemistry between Ellie and Dina and some gorgeous location work. The estrangement between Joel and Ellie gives the hour its emotional weight, though the pacing drags in spots. Worth the watch, even if it’s more setup than payoff.
