    The acting was stellar. I've never played The Last of Us, and perhaps that allows me to give a more unencumbered review of this series.

    beh ragazzi, THIS IS CINEMA. Grazie Neil, grazie Craig, grazie HBO e grazie Naughty Dog per aver portato un capolavoro del genere alla portata di chiunque, e in modo eccezionale e giusto.

    "The Last of Us: Season 1" is an insult to the groundbreaking video game it's based on. The characters are poorly cast, the storyline drags on, and the adaptation fails to capture the emotional depth of the original. A prime example of how not to adapt a beloved property for television.

    One of the best video-game adaptation series and probably also one of the best new series of 2023. The narrative and script are well written. The suspense aspect also well crafted.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The entire show can be explained as a series of massive setups with no payoff. An entire episode is a flashback whose only purpose is to explain how they got the car they're driving. Who cares. An entire episode is dedicated to worldbuilding a town's 'civil war' and Joel's forced to take sides. Very next episode literally everyone dies and there are no lasting consequences. Pointless. I haven't even watched the whole thing but I'm sure if you just watched the first and last episodes you would understand everything because nothing in between serves any purpose. Summary: "2 strangers grow closer moving from point A to point B during the worlds most uneventful apocalypse" 2/10 for decent acting… Expand

    "...it was fine." - was how my wife felt about this HBO show after episode 9 drew to a close. And it was. it was also fashionably woke and a tad slow, with budget restraints that elevated it just slightly higher than your average fan fiction. The game was much better, sorry but it was. 3 stars for the 3 clickers that appeared in the entire show.

    There are adaptations and then there's The Last Of Us. The post apocalyptic television series holds as the most laudable series of 2023, with its third episode being one of the best episodes in television history.

    There's a painstaking amount of attention to its source material, and parts that develop upon or steer away are done masterfully.

    The Last Of Us is all about relationships, heart, survival, and it's quiet and sombre moments hit as much if not harder than its grander moments.

    The cast is perfect! The chemistry between Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey is palpable, moving and endearing, with the two leads giving career-best performances. Storm Reid, Nick Offerman, Murray Bartlett, and the other numerous guest characters also deliver performances that hold more impact than the solo episodes they star in.

    The cinematography is striking and stunning, selling the post apocalyptic landscape. The score, direction, production design and special effects are nothing short of brilliant.

    It starts very good but the longer the show goes the more negatives you start noticing.

    Some of the episodes are so empty and feel so unimportant to the main storyline that you can just skip them entirely or the most part of them and won't really feel missing something in the end.

    It either feels that the show is trying to follow the primary source very close, but at the same time it doesn't quite catch its soul. If it really did, it would be top notch as the original was.    … Expand

    The Last of Us stays close to the source material, while diving deeper into characters and relationships. The show focuses more on the danger of human corruption than hordes of infected that you fight off in the game. The cinematography, acting, music, directing, and screenplay are all excellent and seeing a video game adaptation have this much quality is refreshing since other video game adaptations have been rather bad until now. Where the show falters is the pacing from episode to episode and the overall writing for the season. It starts out strong but eventually things start to feel rushed and ultimately leaves you unsatisfied with how quickly everything gets wrapped up. Also, I don’t mind a zombie, or for the show's sake a “infected” tv show to not have infected as the main focus, but I feel that they went too far with this idea, and it made infected feel nonexistent, and the world feel empty and safe. I tried being as unbiased as possible to the show since I have played the game, but I can’t hide the fact that I was very disappointed the longer the show went on. I loved the beginning and I thought we were about to have one of the best shows ever, oh how I was wrong. I don’t mind changes to the story to better adapt to tv, that’s understandable, but this show easily could have been 11-13 episodes long and it would have been perfect. The farther along we got the more was cut from the story and the more infected fights were left out. In the game the final mission was emotional and tense where the final episode for the show felt dry and quick. I couldn’t believe how fast they rushed everything and even cut things out that was in the game at the end. This ruined the experience for me especially since they started out so well. Why wouldn’t you just stay as close as possible to the original story, it doesn’t make sense. Now my average is an 8, but since I have played the game and saw the potential of what this could have been I have to give it a 7. That rushed last episode really bothers me and it’s more disappointing than anything especially since the first episode hit me hard emotionally just as the beginning of the game did, so that made me excited to watch this great story be portrayed on tv and for me to watch that amazing ending unfold but unfortunately the show couldn’t deliver in the end. In my opinion this is still the best video game adaptation and I still like a lot that this show has to offer, and I am excited for the next season.    … Expand

    The show is worse when it moves away from the game's writing, but its insulting when they copy pasted some dialogues just to add a silly line between and change the whole spirit of the scene. Theres laziness doing the show, with a lot of passivity for the details of the original script. The lack of zombies is due to lack of budget in producers words, not due to creative design, is pure medicrity.

    The show is best when it actually moves away from the game's writing. Love the attention to detail in almost every scene, the call backs and easter eggs. Funny, producers have figured out that a zombie show works best [and cheaper] with less zombies and better acting, kinda like Walkin Deader, but you know, with better acting and writing.

    The Last of Us: Season 1 is the new benchmark for adaptations, bringing complicated characters and their respective arcs to life in such vivid and visceral ways while expanding on what makes them tick. It struggles to deliver a compelling story outside of its cast, however, underutilising its post-apocalyptic landscape and losing a lot of its context to be slimmed down for the medium. Pacing is inconsistent and, while individual episodes are rock solid, as a collective whole the show never picks up speed, leaving its undeniably emotional finale a little anticlimactic.

    Despite this, performances from Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsay deliver crackling chemistry that goes a long way to smoothing out the cracks. Backed with superb creature design and a gorgeous soundtrack, The Last of Us: Season 1 is a TV event you do not want to miss.

HBO should have given more money to VFX because infected in a TV series where infected affects the environment and the moral of theFinally, review time. I watched all episodes of the last of us tv series, and its not bad, it's definitely in no way superior to the game at all, not even close, however, it does expand on some areas and changes in the plot because of budget, yes I noticed. HBO should have given more money to VFX because infected in a TV series where infected affects the environment and the moral of the characters is an essential part of the apocalyptic world of The last of us.

    If only there were a template of some sort like a game that could tell you about certain events that include infected, well I guess they just brushed over every single part that included infected because let me tell you in simple terms. The amount of scenes with action, infected and violent scenes shows me that the apocalypse is possibly better than real-life.

    Other than that there were some unnecessary changes, because of certain "cultural" notions. Some of the characters are not taken directly from the source.

    Pedro Pascal as Joel does a superb job, but I feel that the Dialogue given was lacking from the writers and scripters.

    Bella Ramsey also does a great job as Ellie. Great Job kiddo.

    Rating time:
    Story and Plot: 7/10, wait, isn't the last of us story a masterpiece? It is but there were so many unnecessary changes to characters, scenes, and pacing that affected the quality and the powerfulness of the TV show's plot.
    Cast and Acting: 8/10, Very nice but lacking some dialogue, weird cast changes and choices, but the acting is nearly spot on.
    VFX: 8/10, Done really well, but again lacking in areas where there needs to be during the plot.
    Adaption Quality: 7/10, It's good but misses the mark by far.

    Overall, 7/10, I know it's meant to be 7.5 but I don't give points for free, not only that I am being particularly hard on This TV show because the game exists as the perfect form and original source.
    This show was close to nailing it but was pushed down by a lot of changes in plot, characters etc.

    I don't know who thought by changing events of a perfect story would be good, it's like ordering a steak but instead of a steak you get a well-made chicken schnitzel, good but not what I wanted.

    As for the future of the TV series, I hope Pedro Pascal is ready for some Golfing.

    About the changes, I don't dislike them, it's just they did not affect the plot, it was just an excuse to get through a certain part quicker than normal. Maybe if you add some unexpected consequences it might keep viewers interested instead of just knowing what happens.

    Another thing is not to change important and impactful parts of the story, you can change for Season 2 though because The Last of Us Part 2 was pretty bad in the story department. But if your going to continue the Journey with Joel and Ellie(Young) then I'm Very much interested, we haven't seen that before.    … Expand

    Why 0? Take the final scene of both the game and the series, then compare Ashleys face and eyes expresions, body language, everything, and ramseys absolute cold dead face, static body, she has no emotions no passion for acting.

    Episode after episode becomes more clear that there wasnt enough money to push the production till the level it deserve. Everything looks cheap, and every AAA scene of the game that would require a high budget its erashed, pittsburgh hotel birdge and streets, bills town all the infecteds, jackson hidroelectric complex, salt lake city flood... and overall of the infected

    I waited till the end to rate the season, glad i did it, it start on level but continue floping till the last episode, they were clueless of what they had in their hands, they forgot to develop the main caharcters, theres no emotional investment to keep going through the season, i had to force myself to finish it.

    I have certainly binged on my share of apocalyptic series during this new golden age of streaming television. We have been flooded with shows in the last decade, ranging from viruses to natural disasters to aliens. However, the premise of Last of Us is compelling and terrifying, the humble fungus gaining a foothold due to the climate change we are witnessing before our eyes. The worldI have certainly binged on my share of apocalyptic series during this new golden age of streaming television. We have been flooded with shows in the last decade, ranging from viruses to natural disasters to aliens. However, the premise of Last of Us is compelling and terrifying, the humble fungus gaining a foothold due to the climate change we are witnessing before our eyes. The world depicted is appropriately bleak and desolate, with the lurking infected just out of peripheral vision. The set pieces are excellent, eerie and evocative - rivalling the depressing vistas of The Road. As usual, we see that human evil continues to thrive in the last strongholds of humankind, a classic disappointment. We cannot resist turning to tyranny at the first possible chance, with the silent majority of the remnant minority allowing evil to rise. This is also the age of Pedro Pascal, the everyman thespian who slides effortlessly into every single role he plays. What a tour de force - he depicts a broken warrior with smoothness and credibility. A man seeking redemption in the face of a lifetime of sin. Bella Ramsey is brilliant, insightful, stinging and delightful. I expect huge things from this fantastic actor - she will continue to bowl us over for decades. She shows tremendous bravery and courage in every scene, a fitting role. There is no doubt every single episode of this masterpiece is well crafted and thought out, and delivers maximum emotional impact. There are no fake emotions here, each well-cast actor plays their role with genuineness and frankness. The extremely difficult choices of the final episode leave a ringing sound in my mind. We are truly defined by what happened in the past, and sometimes some are unhealed by time, and others are healed by other things.… Expand

    A Beautiful Disappointment.
    Not as good as the game... the acting, the pacing, the interactions, the lack of infected and marauders or bandits, unnecessary side stories, deviations from the main story-line. Feels rushed.
    The best parts of the TV show are 1-for-1 recreations of the game & the gorgeous scenery of a dead world.

    Amazing Show, Needs More Infected and for those looking for gameplay connections shouldn't expect too much from a show from creators who believe "Love supersede's Logic" in a very emotional journey. Like most long format story telling, it always feels 2-3 episodes long. Pacing was solid for many episodes and perhaps they can fix this in season 2 with more Clickers to get those Clicks

I lost my time with this show, theres no consistency, plenty of empty episodes, key situations of the game absent. Unlike the game, its very bad written, wich is unbeliable giving the fact that the games one is the best screenplay of the las 10 years iof any industry.

    Ce qui donne une moyenne à 6.44... Et je ne peux pas arrondir au dessus cette série ne mérite pas un 7... Si on visionne sans connaitre le jeu, elle mérite un 6,5

    Franchement cette série je l'attendais grandement, et je ne connaissais pas l'histoire car ce n'est pas le style de jeu que j'apprécie...
    J'ai donc attaqué la série en regardant chaque semaine l'épisode, donnant une note (qui sont au dessus) et ensuite je comparais avec le jeu en regardant le gameplay de Youtuber pour voir la différence dans la story...
    Et si je devais noter le jeu avec 10/10 et comparer la série avec celui ci, elle ne mériterait pas mieux que 6 voir meme 5 !
    Mais mine de rien la série nous a donné 3 excellent épisode, même s'ils auraient pu être mieux, j'étais à fond dedans, je parle du 1er, le 2nd et le 5e épisode... Malgré les modifications, le scénario tenait la route, l'ambiance, les émotions, etc... Tout était réunis ! Le seul défaut c'était qu'il y aurait pu avoir plus d'action si on compare avec le jeu pas mal de passage manquant... Mais mes notes sont sans la comparaison avec le jeu, uniquement sur mon ressenti de l'épisode en lui même sur la série...

    Je trouve dommage que cette série qui démarré si bien, qui était si prometteuse, et aurait pu devenir iconique, qu'elle ait réussi à me lasser au fil des épisodes... Pourtant je suis friand de cet univers post apocalyptique !
    Mais là ca n'a pas fonctionné pour moi... J'ai pris 10x plus de plaisir à regarder le jeu (que je n'aime pas le style) que la série qui au contraire là est un style que j'adore cinématographiquement...

    Cette série est une adaptation du jeu, qui suis la trame principal, mais qui delete 90% de l'action du jeu... Et qui bacle certains passage, et amplifie d'autres pour faire passer un message...

    Les 2 premiers pour moi sont excellent, malgré les prises de libertés et la suppression de certains passages ils restent très bon, si je note avec comparaison du jeu je descendrais ma note sur le 1er de 1pt, mais j'ai pris du plaisir sur ces épisodes malgré ca !

    Sur le 3e épisode, ca n'a pas fonctionné pour moi... Je ne vois aucune utilité à cet épisode... Cette histoire aussi belle soit elle, n'a désormais aucun lien avec le duo... Ils ont pris la liberté de modifié intégralement ce passage, et virer toute l'action de ce passage, et pour moi c'est raté... Ce duo avait déjà peu d'utilité dans le jeu, mais mine de rien Bill avait son importance... Là dans la série il n'y en a plus, si on passe du 2nd au 4e épisode on a littéralement rien raté... Et c'est ca que je trouve dommage... Episode tiré en longueur en plus le plus long, sur un épisode sans utilité c'est dommage...

    Pour le 4e, les défauts continu... Ici à l'inverse l'épisode extrêmement court, on reste sur notre faim... Les chasseurs sont en plus pas bien exploité, où sont les chasseurs du jeu les meurtriers qui tu quiconque rentre sur leur territoire... Où sont fusillade de survivants qui tentent de leur échapper... Bref je trouve que cette épisode était bon, mais avec trop de défaut et baclé...

    Le 5e remonte un peu le niveau, franchement j'ai aimé et pris du plaisir sur cette épisode d'où ma note (9) ! Mais quand j'ai regardé le gameplay en faite cette épisode pas plus qu'un 8, tout le passage avec les chasseurs qui les poursuivent, ou encore dans les égouts avec les infectés a été littéralement delete...

    Avant de partir en chute libre sur la suite de la série... Où toute l'action, ou presque, est supprimé et malheureusement on le ressent dans les épisodes, ils tirent en longueur, on sent qu'il manque quelques choses...
    Et même si le 6e et 7e restent bon malgré les défauts... Le 8e et le dernier sont baclés, des scènes inutiles tirés en longueur, les scènes d'action delete ou réduit au stricte minimum, les infectés inexistants... Bref la fin on espère une suite exceptionnel à chaque fois mais au final elle n'arrive jamais...

    Ca reste tout de même une bonne série à voir malgré les défauts, mais je ne me jetterais pas sur la suite avec autant de hype que j'avais avant le début de celle ci... Et si je ne suis plus abonné pour la voir, je ne m'abonnerais pas juste pour cette série...    … Expand

    By leaning just enough on the source material but not so much as to lose sight of the mission, which is to deliver a gut-wrenchingly emotional and poignant story, The Last of Us is not just the perfect adaptation; it’s an adaptation that has the potential to transcend even the original game.
