I thought this was a much stronger first episode than the original LiS. With the benefit of hindsight the first LiS episode set things up well, but playing it when it came out I remember it feeling very clunky and wooden — the dialogue was at its weakest too. While BiS had some pacing issues I think overall it felt better realised and written off the bat (even if the concert scene was a bit of a mess).

Pretty happy with this one, enjoyed the angst and interactions, Rachel seems different enough from what we've had prior that her character is worth exploring. The voice actor change bothered me less than I thought it would too, think the new actor for Chloe worked her way into the role well as the episode progressed.

The next Life is Strange could be about literally anything but I think the adolescent age group and female-centric cast were so impactful that Dontnod won't stray from that. I would be more willing to bet that they go with a different thematic power, though.

I'm really hoping that's what they do!

I dug the finale. Much like season 1's last episode it was a bit messy but it did an admirable job wrapping things up and had some lovely moments. Very impressed with the series as a whole (especially after my expectations were low).

Will be sad to leave these characters behind but very intrigued as to where they'll go with season 2.
