The Last of Us (2023)

Watchseries; I liked the first episode. It has decent atmosthere, good actors and decorations, however, the score is not honest.

TV-Shows and movies based on games become more and more popular, unfortunately, there's not many good of them. Quite the opposite, most of them are mediocre or even a disaster: Resident Evil, Halo, Uncharted - all of them were in the shadow of originals because of how bad they were, compared to the games.

Now, here comes The Last of Us and immedietly becomes one of the highest rated TV-Show of all times. Really? How low the industry has fallen if that it's enough to make a decent episode of TV-Show and get Breaking Bad - level ratings just for not screwing up? Don't get me wrong, it is enjoyable and I will watch the rest of it out of curiosity, but 9,5/10? -That's rating of the The Last of Us game, not a TV-Show. Not yet, at least.

The Last of Us watchseries. One of the most engaging series, well directed, thrilling, and has a great soundtrack! HBO at again with a huge hit a perfect example of a series based off a video game that is incredible all around instead of something else that didn't do well. The Last of Us was bound to do well with the massive amount of fans and it helps that the same composer of the game is involved among others like the director and writer pretty sure even played the video game. I'm delighted that this already has a 9.5 that's a ground breaking rating and the everything about it I can tell is a triumph in phenomenal cinema!

"The Last of Us," the highly-anticipated HBO series based on the critically acclaimed video game of the same name, does not disappoint. The show expertly adapts the game's powerful storytelling and characters for the small screen, delivering a tense and emotionally charged journey through a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a deadly fungus.

One of the show's greatest strengths is its commitment to character development and emotional depth. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey give powerful performances as Joel and Ellie, respectively, and the script does a masterful job of exploring the complex bond that forms between them as they navigate the dangers of a fallen society. The series also manages to expand on the game's already rich world-building, delving deeper into the politics and power struggles of the remaining human settlements.

The direction and production design are also top-notch, with the series effectively capturing the gritty, desperate feel of a world on the brink of collapse. The cinematography and score also deserve special mention, adding to the overall atmosphere of the show and amplifying the emotional impact of key scenes.

Overall, "The Last of Us" is a must-watch for fans of the game and newcomers alike. The series manages to stay true to the source material while also standing on its own as a masterful piece of storytelling. It's a harrowing, but ultimately hopeful, tale of survival and humanity in the face of unimaginable horror.

It is the storytelling, powerful performances, and the depressing atmosphere that really resonated with me and sets it apart as an enjoyable watch.

This is how you make an apocalyptic series. Realistic, scary as hell, outstanding performances from all the cast but especially Pascal, Ramsey and Torv. This has to be the best series that has been shown for years possibly decades. You will have nightmares but only because it seems so damn real.

The sets, the script, the acting, the production all first class. I would never have guessed this was adapted from a video game.. Absolutely one of the most important series to have been made especially after the world is feeling from a global pandemic. Everyone who watches this will be reminded how fragile our existence really is.

I haven't played the game - though I was aware of it. I was still really looking forward to this screen adaption. Anything with zombies in it, and I'm excited. I wanted to wait till at least after watching the second episode before leaving a review, reason being that I didn't want it to be a case of the first episode being a fluke.

The first episode was brilliant - it had me right on the edge of my seat and engrossed from the moment it started. I was invested in the characters and there was no fault to be placed anywhere.. By the end of the first episode I was definitely left wanting more. I was especially excited to see that Anna Torv from Mind Hunter was in it playing Tess.

The second episode also did not disappoint. The dynamic between Ellie (Ramsey) and Joel (Pascal) is captivating. I am learning also not to get too attached to anyone along the process.

I am definitely in the for the long haul and keen to see how the storyline develops and watch the relationship between Ellie and Joel develop more into a father and daughter type role.

This show is definitely worth a watch.

I hope that they know when to end it though, and don't keep it churning for season after season like The Walking Dead.

First of all, I'd like to make it clear that I'm writing this review having only watched the episode and never having played the game or researched anything about it.

The first episode had everything we can expect from an introduction of a new series, it was intense, exciting, it held our attention at every minute creating a hostile atmosphere even in the most ordinary scenes.

The construction of the post-apocalyptic world was done perfectly, showing us the origin of the end, and leaving us looking forward to what will come after.

The next episodes have everything to be even better. Well done!
