I wasnt sure at first when they announced they would adapt The Last of Us for a TV version because the first game is so beloved but I was going to give it a proper chance anyway. I didnt watch it straight away when the first episode dropped like everyone else, I waited until the full season was available. It's better that way because you can watch everything in one go
It is a great show and faithfully adapted everything from the first game. Although I have some issues with the series one namely being episode 3 because it focused too much on the relationship between Bill and Frank that made the episode boring, the game didnt touch on it too much. But whatever. Also episode 7 which was surprisingly an adaption from Ellie's DLC in the mall with her friend. Most part for episode 7, it still goes the same route with Ellie and her friend at the mall but fails to switch back to the present with Ellie on her own in a different mall gathering supplies and meds to nurse Joel back to full health. Just minor issues for me that doesnt ruin the series for me too much
It's as the title for this review says, it is indeed miles better than The Walking Dead. Game and TV adaption of The Last of Us is more interesting and gripping, the story, Joel and Ellie and of course the zombies. The producers here did a great job recreating the clickers for the TV version as they look exactly like they are in the game
Joel and Ellie? Not much needs to be said other than the fact they are great characters whose actors obviously carry the show from episode to episode. Fun facts for you guys. The actress who plays Ellie's mother in a flashback in the TV series the actress who voices Ellie in the Last of Us games. Also the actress who plays Kathleen is the same one who plays Rose ( Charlie's stalker) in Two and a Half Men
I now need to play the second Last of Us game as I havent played it yet and obviously season 2 will be adapting that game come 2025, luckily for me I still have plenty of time but after watching season 1 it's makes me want to replay the first game first and then go straight to playing the second game.
