    As a huge TLOU fan, they **** it in every aspect. Don't listen to the people who say it is faithful to the game -- a lot of them piss their pants, probably didnt play the game or their IQ is stone level and didnt get the greatness of the writting when they played then. It deserves a lower score.

    Final Thoughts:

    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
    Final Thoughts:

    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.

This adds insult to injury with more and more race swapping and idiotic political ideology, female supremacy and a story that is becoming weaker and weaker after a promising start, drowning in pointless gender identity.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Episode 1 was a great start for the series, a lot of little Easter eggs for fans of the game such as Sara’s shirt Joel’s guitar and the soccer team pictures, Ellie wore Nathan drakes shirt from uncharted, it was a game accurate episode with some slight changes. They gave little more story with Sara which was welcome, we get more backstory of the fungus and how it’s a little different from the games which I personally love the addition.

    Episode 2
    Probably the best episode so far, here we see another addition to the fungus in the fact that all the infected are connected, we also get a glimpse into Indonesia and how they handled the spread of the fungus. The clicker scene was amazingly well shot, Tess death scene was controversial but honestly is better than the game in my opinion.

    Episode 3 By far the worst episode, look I know what you’re thinking, “you just don’t like gay people”. But that has nothing to do with why I hated this episode. I went in knowing that there would be some background into bill and Frank and I was fine with that. But how it was executed was god awful. Bill is my favorite side character in the last of us game, his interactions with Joel and Ellie are some of the funniest moments in the game, his battle hardened survival mentality doesn’t let him trust people, not even joel. When joel convinces bill to help them find a working vehicle he reluctantly agrees because he owes joel a favor. The three go on a mission through the town avoiding traps and killing a bunch of zombies. This is where we see the first bloater, Bill Joel and Ellie encounter the bloater in a school gym and are forced to fight it to move on safely. This would have worked so well for the show. They skipped out on one of the best parts of the game in order to tell a love story that didn’t even matter in the game, in fact in the game it’s revealed that Frank actually grew to hate Bill before he killed himself, it was not this plushy romantic softy love story like the show suggests.

    You could see the money spent on this, and the acting and actors were good, the problem was that it was similar in many ways to The Walking Dead - the collapse of society, fascist government, small groups trying to survive, they mentioned slavers and raiders etc.

    There was not a great deal of originality in those terms in the story, it was just well made - and it was I don't dispute

    "She doesn't look like Ellie!" = They wanted to fantasize about an underage actress, but now they can't. "It's boring" = They have no attention span, no appreciation for atmospheric build up, and a low IQ. "Just play the game" =

    Never played the games, but watched playthroughs and remember thinking that the intro sequence would make for a great movie or series. And that it did, and the way small details were added and original ideas were mixed in to fully use the dramatic potential of those first scenes gives me high hopes for the rest.

    I have not played the game. I thought is boring, but dudes I really regret that. If game is even close of atmosphere of the show, I have to play it. There are some elements that we can find in other movies/shows. But after two episodes, it's really complete story.

    I’m not giving or taking points based a gay couple scenes, time to get past that everyone, and I mean everyone. The writing is the weak point so far. Also we’re trying to be science fiction rather than super natural but they look and behavior of the zombies is not believable. Where is their energy coming from? Why don’t they fall apart, why don’t their eyes work? All just dumb choicesI’m not giving or taking points based a gay couple scenes, time to get past that everyone, and I mean everyone.

    Houston we have a problem. TLOU is all about Joel and Ellie, the Wworld is secondary, in fact it says **** the world, we look for each other. So what are they domingo in the show? Yeah Joel and Ellie are just 2 character in the middle of the things that are happening, the world is the centre of the show and they completely forgot to develop the most important thing of the IP, the mainHouston we have a problem.

Yeah Joel and Ellie are just 2 character in the middle of the things that are happening, the world is the centre of the show and they completely forgot to develop the most important thing of the IP, the main characters and their relationship, in a story like this is the key to get the viewer emotionaly involved and keep going through the episodes, they instead give us boring characters and forgetable scenes. Not going to see more of the show, i will replay the game to enjoy a well written journey. Expand

    a series that leaves something to be desired, I played the game and this series was changed, I do not recommend it. It already bothers me to see Sarah black when she is blonde with blue eyes, they didn't even respect that and I stopped seeing her when I got to episode 3.

    Hahaha its so laughlable, by any means this show its expanding the lore of the gama or the story. It cuts 80% of the games scecenes and best dialogue, every change is for worse overall and only in the sixth episode are the only worth dialogue aditions. Ep 3 is not a expansion is a change of the story you d*mb. The whole series feels more like a alternative take of the story than an adaptation.

    Pedro is doing good for the version of Joel of the show, different from the game. But Ramsey should be banned from film industry, dont worry she dosnt care, she has no emotions, or her face is dead and cant expres it.

    Just waiting how they are going to ruin the game story in the las episodes even more than what they have already done with the first ones, its just maths. Craig Mazin is now in the black list of absolute garbage director.

    Sad... another mediocre adpatation, if done well should've been the best show ever, wont live up the source material. Hope they forget about this show sooner than later.

    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.

    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.

    Anchored by two outstanding lead performances from Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal, it delivers an enriching show for fans of the PlayStation hit, while also managing to stay welcomingly thrilling to newcomers.

    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.
