Not at all. Never played the game never knew the plot. My daughters favorite show.

Who made that claim? It's a decent show but it's nowhere close to wire status

oh wait i thought the wire came before sopranos...whatever the point still stands. since those shows this is one of the best out of the box s1's ive seen.

So it's a zombie show?

Post apocalypse stories usually have zombies. If the show continues to follow the game's story faithfully, it will continue to deliver every week with a great ending.

Yeah it has been top tier and agree it's a hell of a first season for a show (same with HOTD), but both had/have exciting source material to pull from. Contrast that with GOT whose first season source material was good and exciting yes but way more set up. This being from a video game, you pretty much get into the action right away.

This has been so good and makes me mad I didn't play the game. But at the same time it's nice to be in the dark on what's coming. I do think I prefer that more, after experiencing HOTD and knowing the major plot points ahead of time.

The Last of Us has been better than anyone could have reasonably expected. Pedro Pascal is great but Bella Ramsey is just incredible. Her performance is the kind that should win awards.

when i saw bella ramsey in the 1st ep, i thought she looked a little downsy. turns out she's just british.
heh.

great show so far.

I'm on ep5 of Last Of Us and it's pretty damn good.

My girl lasted 20 min and dipped out bc "omg I'm sick of zombie shows" so I've been binging on my own.

MDS · February 27, 2023, 12:26:51 PM

another monstrously good TLOU ep. i dont know if bella ramsey is gonna be a star because shes not like jennifer lawrence/julia roberts beautiful but she can certainly act

Munson · February 28, 2023, 04:47:42 PM

She crushed it on GOT too. Definitely talented.

This was probably my least favorite episode so far and it was still very good. I'm starting to see what game players were saying about "how are they gonna fit all this in one season" because it has felt a little rushed at times, but at the same time literally episode has been at minimum very good so I guess it's working!
