I walked away from the last episode feeling pretty upset about the council in Jackson not backing Ellie and the reasons were told by the homophobe for why they shouldn’t do nothing.

Also we are made to feel like we should hate Abby because Joel is the main protagonist, but even that there’s some moral dilemma in what would you do if some one point blank murdered your father who was trying to cure the world from an apocalyptic disease. The killing of the religious group by the WLFs will be interesting to see how they play that out, but they did that thing of look they even killed the children. Which is bad vibes as you said.
