This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really enjoying where this be going. I look forward to every episode. They're all so full of character, drama, and just enough action and scares to keep me guessing. The little incel boys review-bombing is hilarious, as well. I'm loving the direction, and, while I didn't like her initially, Bella Ramsey is killing it. Perfect Ellie vibes. Let's not forget Pedro Pascal, who is also crushing the reluctant dad role, let's be real. The latest episode has people struggling to cope, and it's fun watching them seethe. Oh and Anna Torv is wonderful on-screen, as always. Anyway Mr. Druckmann is also excellent. The man behind the game also working as director on the series? Top-notch. This is how you do an adaptation. It's not exactly like it, but it's more like the game than anything else would have been.… Expand

As a huge fan of The Last of Us Part 1, I had high expectations for this show, and most, if not all, were met. First and foremost, Pedro Pascal(Joel) and Bella Ramsey(Ellie) are phenomenal. And I can't wait to see their relationship grow throughout the series. To all the people who disagree with the race swap, deal with it, because right now, it has no effect on how that character acts. There are a few minor issues with the editing choices, and with one particular scene where a reveal happens and there isn't a lot of reaction to that reveal. But other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, and I can't wait to see more.… Expand

Episode 3 was exceptional and has me excited to continue with the series because it's clear they're going to be expanding on certain storylines and giving more background for certain characters.

Stick to the heart ofThis series has, so far, done what no other adaptation has been able to do...make a great adaptation. The formula has always been simple but apparently was overlooked by anyone ever adapting a video game. The formula? Stick to the heart of the story...and add depth. I don't know who these people are who desire a shot-by-shot, play-by-play of the game...but that isn't me, and I don't think it is the majority of people. What's the point? The game is already so good, why would you need a live-action version that is the same? They expanded on the world they had already built. Now...I'm going to say something that I find incredibly irritating, and it's about the fan base, which unfortunately includes a lot of ignorant, hateful, incredibly homophobic bigots who have nothing better to do than hate something because they've been taught to hate something and make sure that everyone knows they should hate it too. The fact that the homosexual tones of a specific character were overlooked in the game by many people, says a lot. And now the internet is flooded with a bunch of morons screaming they hate the show, they ruined it, they are pushing the LGBT agenda (there is no agenda...we just happen to exist...I don't know why that is so challenging to understand). Think about the reverse...what if someone said, "they have a straight relationship in this? No. I will not watch. Gross." Get over it please, you're missing out on a wonderful story and you clearly missed out on the actual heartline of the entire story of The Last of Us, which is about the heart...and love...not shoot em up bang bang kill violence. Please grow up. The show is a masterpiece so far.… Expand

I'm turned off by political allegory and absolutely allergic to woke allegory in media. So believe me when I say that if you are seeing woke allegory in this show you may want to check and make sure you're not the brainwashed one. This show features excellent storytelling, excellent character driven narratives, it remains wholly devoted to it's internal logics. In short, it's not woke propaganda, its genuinely good storytelling. The writers may not share your values but they are trying to entertain you first. There aren't any MEANINGFUL identity swaps or bait and switches (as of episode 3). A family in Boston can believably be of any mix of races. This isn't middle earth. It's 1995 or whatever Boston. It doesn't matter if his wife was White or Asian or Black. The white characters and male characters aren't all bad here. Men are physically stronger than women in this show. The girl lead does a fantastic job and looks like a real person. She's not "ugly" at all she's talented as hell - especially for a young actor. I'm not seeing woke allegory. What I'm seeing here, in the negs, is people who are oversensitive (understandably) about being preached too by leftist virtue signaling.

Please let's agree that this show is how leftist writers SHOULD be writing. They're going to be left leaning, inclusive etc. But this team is putting the story first second and third . Whether you agree with their views we should be able to agree that great art is great art. Episode 3 WAS excellent by any sane measure. If you don't see that then I'm afraid you may have become woke's opposite evil. Why was it bad? If you think it was bad simply because the characters were gay then you are in the wrong. Woke views are bad when they lead to woke allegory which is bad WHEN ITS BAD - whenever it comes before storytelling. It doesn't here. There's no preaching. Nobody marginalizes victimizes or shames the men. There's no warping of reality or history to magnify their repression. They could be a straight couple just as easily and the episode would have worked fine. So the hate just grinds me a bit. I'm usually on the skeptical side but this was great work and top tier entertainment. The only thing keeping this show from being a ten is that zombie stuff feels tired. Even if it's caused by mushrooms. Otherwise perfect show.… Expand

After the first episode, Pascal OWNS the role. He brings a world-wearyYears ago I thought Gerard Butler would make an ideal Joel. He looked the part, ruggedly handsome, great beard...when Pedro Pascal was cast, I thought okay. We'll see. After the first episode, Pascal OWNS the role. He brings a world-weary soul to the character (it's in his eyes). Bella Ramsey is introduced as Ellie, and she shines in her brief scenes. The first episode cleverly explains the fungal "virus " and how it would affect the host via a old televised science talk show (with John Hannah and Bighead from Silicon Valley). We're then introduced to Joel and his family on what would be the last day of normalcy. Scenes mirror and mimic the dialogue of the game, but since the game was so cinematic to begin with, it all fits naturally. BTW, for those shouting WOKE because of casting decisions or complaining about Bill and Frank's relationship (hinted at in the game, but altered and fleshed out), need to grow the eff up.… Expand

I remember almost everything that happens in the Part I of the game. I was excited to see the series. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey are great. They are Joel and Ellie themselves, who stepped into the real world from the game world. The atmosphere was very game-like and everything conveyed that feeling well. I can't wait for the next episode. I am waiting for it to deepen. It was really a masterpiece, I enjoyed it. Thanks to Neil Druckmann, Craig Mazin, The Cast, HBO and everyone involved in making it happen.… Expand

The 0/10 reviews are mostly from people that want to erase anything gay from existance. Episode 3 gives much needed back story on two character from the game, Bill and Frank, who happen to be gay. With that said, if gay people hurt your feelings, this show isn't for you. For almost everyone else, you'll love it.… Expand

Episode three is amazing! Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett expanded on the underwritten game characters so well. Also Pedro Pascal is the perfect Joel.

Other than Sarah's skin color I feel they got all the important stuff right so far. Sarah still seemed very much like the original Sarah so it didn't bother me much. Excellent casting choices so far. 10/10 for episode 1. Will update as new episodes come in.

Update after episode 3: Episode 2 was awesome and I think I liked it even more than the first episode, 10/10. Unfortunately episode 3 was a real stinker. If I wanted to watch a gay romance I would watch one. I thought I was watching a post apocalyptic survival show based on the video game. The only scenes in episode 3 that I enjoyed were the ones without Bill in it. If I weren't a big fan of the game I would've not been able to finish this episode. I support gays and lesbians I just have no interest in watching them. If I were watching a pop music show I'd be upset if all of a sudden an episode shows up that is mostly about rap. I'm so upset and I can't give this garbage episode anything more than a 1/10. That brings down my average score for this show to a 70. I still have hope the rest of the show will be good, keep Bill away please.

update after ep 4: The show fortunately went back on track. This one felt very short but it's my favorite so far we get a lot of great quality time between Joel and Ellie. An interesting villain appears and I hope we learn more about her in the next episode and how she got into her position. Something scary happens at the end but I can't spoil it, excited for the next episode. 10/10

update after episode 5: Incredible episode easily the best one so far in my opinion. There were a few minor changes but I actually like how the show did it better than the game. 10/10… Expand

Лучший пролог стал ещё лучше, история расширяется и углубляется не уходя в сторону от первоисточника, а персонажи открываются с новых сторон. Каждый актёр отлично справляется со своей ролью превнося в образ что-то своё, при этом сохраняя характеры героев. Визуально выглядит просто потрясающе, снято тоже очень круто. Просто п*здец, ребят. За все практически полтора часа ни разу даже не задумался о том, что кто-то там не подходит на роль. В некоторых аспектах сериал не просто не уступает игре, но и превосходит её. Пока что 10/10. С нетерпением жду выхода новой серии и буду пересматривать первую!… Expand

Now that I have watched episode one twice, it's a relief to me on how well this is done. The casting is very fitting overall, I particularly like Bella Ramsay as Ellie: different looks than the character in-game, but the portrayal seems quite right. Glad the producers didn't opt for a generic teenage beauty, which is often the go-to choice. Set pieces hit the tone of the world fine. Pacing is mostly OK, but I wished for more lengthy beats to aid the weight of the atmosphere in some places. Fantastic beginning scene that sets the stage. The plot deviates in a minor way from the game, in some moments where that happens, I felt that it added something to the telling of the events. Overall a well-constructed story arc. The episode is scary when it wants to be. Excited about this so far, really looking forward to next Sunday and how the series will progress.… Expand

Watching Episode 1 on our OLED in Dolby Vision & ATMOS Surround was nothing short of stunning…FULL STOP! An immersive and thrilling viewing experience.

Based only on the pilot episode, this is easily one of the best shows from HBO - an outfit not short on great television - in a very, very long time. HBO’s deep pockets pay off handsomely here resulting in outstanding production values, gritty sets and seamless CGI blending. Casting is flawless, and acting across the board was nothing short of stellar. Standouts include Pascal, Ramsey, Torv and Ms. Parker.

Don’t write it off as “ just another zombie show “; it’s so much more. While the show-runners don’t miss a chance to show us fungi infected horrors, the Pilot makes crystal clear it is the living - not the living dead - our heroes need fear. Like the earliest episodes of TWD, the humanity shines through. The Pilot accomplished something in ~90 minutes most shows can’t throughout their entire run: I CARE about these characters!! Sundays cannot come fast enough for this viewer! HBO’s The Last of Us is why the term “ Appointment Viewing “ exists. Miss this at your peril.… Expand

From the beginning it is noticeable that it is very faithful to the game but at the same time it give us more context of the situation with parts that do not appear in the game. Now, the actors archieve a credible performance of their role as the characters of the game, the scenarios look as good as in the game and as cherry on the cake is that iconic soundtrack by Gustavo Santaolalla. Definitely worth giving it a try.… Expand

It starts very good but the longer the show goes the more negatives you start noticing. While in the original everything happened smoothly and logically, in the TV show too much was taken out of context. So great and fully authentic scenes and dialogues are mixed with poor and empty storytelling, which spoils everything.

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
