Episode 3 gives much neededI usually don't write reviews, but I felt that the show deserves a better score than what the review bombers are giving it. 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

The show is a colossal bore with so much ham-fisted virtue signalling it's distracting. Anyone who scores this more than a 5 has either never seen a decent HBO show before or worships on the altar of Druckmann.

Years 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-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

Are you serious guys? Did you last exactly two episodes before you screwed up?
Of course, I will add 2 points to zero, for a touching story. But what does this have to do with the main story of the series? What is this episode for? Did he reveal something new to us in the post-apocalyptic world? Maybe retelling part of the story of the original? What the hell is a whole series dedicated to the agenda? In the original, this theme is played in an interesting and even funny way, the characters of the original demonstrate survival skills and fight. I understand that the authors promised us to tell something new and more. And where is it all???

Just play the game, it's a much better experience. The bar for videogame movie adaptation has been so low that people consider this a good show but if you watch it with an objective pov then this is a bad show with predictable zombie tropes

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.

Compared to the game it gets the storyOkay as yet another zombie apocalypse, dissapointing addition to Last of Us franchise. Pros- Decent acting. Cons- Nothing special to seperate it from other numerous tv and movies of the zombie genre. Compared to the game it gets the story from- unnecessary race and age swap of Sarah; the latter reason diminished the emotion you got from the game version. -it misses the tension that you got with the spores and mask from the game. -while the acting is fine in itself, the main actors just feels off for their characters.

At the end I was wondering if I had watched the same show that has been given plenty of perfect scores of 10/10 and 100/100...to paraphrase Seinfeld...I dont even know what it takes to get a perfect 100/100 score, I think all you need is a popular IP and moving pictures.....that seems to be their big qualifications....no blank moving pictures.

Yet they manage to fck it up one way or another every time. How can you possible pick this girl as Ellie? The most important character to carry the series and you choose the least liked young actress of her generation.. Her lines, looks, acting, everything is wrong. Joel is a pretty good pick and so is Tess. Imagine you are making a multi million dollar tv series of the most simped out game ever and instead of picking a safe and easy route (literally any young female actor other than this one) and then you go with Bella Ramsey as Ellie? Your entire series just went to sht. People coming to metacritic, a page where we try to give games, movies and tvshows actual ratings instead of the 9.5/10 imdb does, and yet some here give this 10/10, objectivity has gone out of the window, disgusting!

If Ellie was swapped out this might have been 6.5-7.0 so far but 1-2 episodes is far too soon to say anything other than Ellie makes the entire series go down 2-3 stars byherself.

But now after watching the second episode, it is evident that this is not going to work. The original bit at the beginning of episode 2 was very well done but the rest of the episode was completely bland. It felt like unimportant filler. You just don't feel the tension, the dread you felt while playing the game. Several times during the episode I found myself asking, what is the point of this scene? Am I watching a video game or a TV show?. The answer was, neither. This is neither a proper TV show nor gameplay. This is just padding. Boring, uninteresting padding.

The actress for Ellie is already awful. Neither does she have the looks nor the acting skills but on top of that even Pedro Pascal fails to bring Joel to life. His acting is limp and dull. His dialogue delivery is completely flat as if he is reading his lines for the first time and they are going with that take.

Boring.

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

So, for a gamer, The Last Us as a series... is alright. No surprises. Solid acting, solid script. I need to see how the series develops but I admit that I lost interest in the zombie genre a few Walking Dead seasons ago. The Last Us series could be great but it might be 10 years too late.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ну что глянули сие творение , игра однозначно лучше передает все переживание героев , смерть Сары в игре я рыдал каждый раз как дохожу до этой сцены (а вот игра Нико Паркер напомнила сцену из Маски), + фильма: раскрывают больше событий, обозревают прологи и истории , что было за кадром в игре. Обалдительный визуал и внимание к деталям ( но Паскалю нужно было все таки броду отрастить). Великолепный звук и музыка. Как всегда хромает каст (на любителя). Сценарий ( зачем нужно было переделывать все?): вопрос как заразилась бабушка ? если зараженные живут не более суток ? как они не смогли увидеть укус? почему укушенные тут же встают? а бабушка 2 суток просидела как? как перевернулся пикап ? в игре от машины, а в фильме? Что за б***ь за аккумуляторы и нафига их придумали? Почему и как погибли Плеяды? В игре Элли и Глава Плеяд были как подруги и доверяли друг другу, тут их дружба и доверять родилась от фразы я же не разрешила тебя убить. Вот они реально верят, что просидев девчонка на цепи неделю будет доверять им через 5 минут после их снятия ... прям ужас кто писал сценарий. Какая же Тесс была крутая в игре .. ее местные боялись и уважали, она вела темные делишки и была везде как рыба в воде, а тут (что за сраные договорняки), Почему она в фильме прикрывается Джоэлом? и так во всем. Сериал достойный на твердую 8 после 1 серии . Везде оценка на мой взгляд завышена..И да Рамзи плохо с играла РОЛЬ Элли из Игры. Элли была наивным ребенком в сложном мире, а Рамзи играет жесткого без эмоционального ребенка .. и видено как получается конфуз .. возможно мне мешает восприятие игры. Те кто делал игру ребята вы гении .. Да еще ..и так 2023 голод нищета, как они отели такие щеки? Expand

It met these expectations with a surprising faith to the source material with artistry and flair of its own. At times, I found it off putting to see beloved scenes from the game depicted with different music and acting. I also enjoyed some of the slight additions the show made too. It never detracts from the story or feels tacked on. It's clearly made with lots of love and passion. Although, the impact is dampened by the fact that I've experienced it all before from the video game. Expand

Couldn't be better! Keep up the fantastic work.

Follows the game truly with a couple of minor additions to make it more realistic.

Follows the same kind of logic as the RE2 remake.

Love it.

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

КАКОЙ ЖЕ ЭТО ШЕДЕВР

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!

This is only for Episode 1

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.
