    Episode 1 was a 11 out of 10. Shame I can't go higher in rating. I want to go higher.

    I were very sceptic regarding this show, as I absolutely love the video game.
    However, after seeing the Pilot episode, I'm overwhelmed.
    There are enough new scenes and changes to make the show interesting and fresh, even thou I know the game inside and out, but at the same time keeping everything that was important the first 2-3 hours from the game.

    If this is the quality we'll see through the 9 episodes, I'm certain this might become one of my top tv-shows ever seen.

    10/10 without hesitations and I'm thankful it proved me wrong.    … Expand

    это лучшая история в игровой индустрии и теперь она вновь повторяется и расширяется за счёт отличной работы сценаристов. Всем рекомендую

    I think it laughable that all the worst reviews in this are because Sarah isn't white.. I'm no means woke, but get it together with your BS.. So far Episode 1 has been good.

    Different in places from the game we all adore, but it works well and I appreciate the longer run time very much, its good to see a production company not cram as much as they can in to 48 minutes every episode.

    "This is Cinema" - Martin Scorsese. What a riveting and exhilarating start to a show of my favourite video game of all time. I do have some minor gripes with it, however; some changes from the games were made for the worse and are less compelling than they are in the game, but it could be too early to tell.

For that alone, I give it plenty of kudos.

    P.S. The inclusion of the multiplayer menu music was a nice nod to us Factions heads. Thank you for whoever made that decision :)    … Expand

    Very good start(i will update the score after every episode of needed) the acting was great. Didn't hit as hard as the game but that might be because i knew what was going to happen. Still a really promising start and hasn't wait to watch the rest of the season.

    Finalmente uma adaptação redentora. Primeiro episódio fantástico.
    Como já fiquei sabendo que não haverá muita ação, espero que na segunda temporada tenha mais, pois o jogo é repleto de cenas memoráveis de ação.

    Ótimo episódio piloto. Excelente casting, efeitos visuais, banda sonora e produção. A melhor adaptação de um videojogo alguma vez feita (para fãs do jogo ou para novatos). Espero que a qualidade se mantenha ao longo da temporada.

    Huge fan of the game (Part1).. I enjoyed the first episode, not a banger, but good. Stayed pretty close to source material, nothing egregious so far. Liked Pedro more than I thought I would as Joel, but something about Ellie just isn’t hitting right. Hopefully my opinion on that changes with a few more episodes. 8/10 so far!

    It seems that we are in a golden age for videogame adaptations, just like Arcane and Edgerunners, i think that this show (at least episode 1) faithfully captures the essence of the original game while improving some stuff.

    The game was amazingly good and the series is also brilliant. Story, characters, visuals are all excellent. I was afraid it wouldn't be as good as the game, but I was wrong! The actors are fantastic. People who throw tantrums because of Joel's beard or Ellie's appearance are not normal. It's not the looks that matter, but the talent and the way the actors play the characters in the game.The game was amazingly good and the series is also brilliant.

    Obvious reservations in the beginning when it was very first announced. Then when I saw the collaboration between hbo and naughty dog, spirits lifted, seeing the cast completely put my mind at ease. What a result. The show is so well 0ut together, some nice little touches of its own, very promising start!

    The Last of Us finally breaks the decades-old curse of video game adaptations. One that's faithful for long time fans of the games, but also brings new things to the table for newcomers. Characters are more fleshed out than their video game counterparts. But it's in the emotional beats that really shines brightest. The video game is known for it's gut-wrenching emotional moments.

    HBO has managed to nail the essence and it has been made into a great TV series.

    I plan to watch this again in 4K, episode 1 is very well made.

    Don’t be put off by the mushroom monsters – this is a fully realised human parable, with TLOU evolving into a brutal, passionate, post-apocalyptic western par excellence.

    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.
