    Steelbook UHD release coming 3/13/25.

    In 2003, a parasitic fungal infection ravages the planet, turning humans into violent creatures known as the Infected. Twenty years later, hardened survivor Joel (Pedro Pascal) is hired to smuggle 14-year-old Ellie (Bella Ramsey) out of an oppressive quarantine zone in hopes of delivering her to the rebel Fireflies. But what should be a quick job soon becomes a brutal and heartbreaking journey as they traverse a desolate U.S. – while depending on each other’s unique skills for survival. Created, written, and executive produced by Emmy® winner Craig Mazin (HBO’s Chernobyl) and Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann, this riveting series brings the acclaimed video game to life, painting a grim vision of the future of humanity – and the lives of those who would risk everything to save it.

    Over 2 Hours of Bonus Content, Including: Controllers Down: Adapting The Last of Us, From Levels to Live Action and The Last of Us: Stranger Than Fiction

    If you're looking for a great way to watch it, I’d recommend checking out 123movies. They often have the latest episodes available, and the streaming quality is pretty good. Overall, it’s a must-watch for anyone who enjoys character-driven narratives!
    Looking forward to it, sooner than later!!!! I absolutely loved HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us! The way they captured the emotional depth of the characters while staying true to the game's core themes was impressive. The chemistry between Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as Joel and Ellie really brought the story to life. The production quality was top-notch, too—each scene felt meticulously crafted, from the stunning visuals to the hauntingly beautiful score. It’s clear the creators put a lot of love into this project, making it appealing not just to fans of the game but also to new viewers.

    After seeing how much of an asshole Pedro Pascal is in real life, I can't wait for Joel to go golfing in season 2.

    I've never played the game and thoroughly enjoyed the show all the way through. And I'm not sure I agree with Dom that the characters shift gears as quickly, I think there were plenty of hints all along the way that Joel was warming to Ellie and as he was, using her as a sort of surrogate daughter and as a path to redemption for his daughter's death, which he obviously blames himself for. I dunno. It worked for me. I thought the ending was pretty strong and, having no idea where the story goes from here, am looking forward to S2.

    That said, yeah, I can't see them killing Joel off and the show carrying on without him.

    I stayed out of this thread until I'd had a chance to see it haha. The spoiler is somewhat true of the game, though I haven't played it in awhile and forget how early that happens. I think that it would be a bad idea to do that same thing in season 2, I agree, I don't think it would survive.

    I was one of the people who didn't like the second game (no, not because it was woke or whatever people were bitching about) but because I was SO invested in the characters from the first game, it didn't make sense to suddenly switch perspectives. It was poorly executed in the game, IMO, but I think it'd be suicide for the show to even try.

    I liked it but it didn't have the punch of the game, one of those reasons no doubt being that it was a game. But my wife who is less familiar with the game (watched me play sections of it) liked it more, no doubt due to the lack of familiarity with the game.

    I loved the ending of the first game so much I wasn't interested in playing the sequel. That may now be an advantage for the second season, although I know the broad strokes it may be more effective for me.

    That was an odd season of tv. I generally enjoyed it but I feel I was frequently enjoying it despite itself. There's a repetition to the show where you keep watching the same kind of bleak, morbid death scenes over and over. Then there's a strange episodicness to it where characters suddenly change to fit what that episode needs them to do. In the finale I was finding it really strange that all of a sudden Joel was a doting, besotted father figure. I knew we were headed that way but it's such a sudden snap. Then it turns out that that's required to justify his actions in the finale. It's like the panic attacks and a few other things. The characters now this because that's what the writers need them to be. I don't know anything about the behind the scenes but maybe they were farming out the individual episodes to different writers and there wasnt enough oversight to tie it together.

    SPOILERS

    I hear the second game kills off Joel early on. Curious to see if they go that route. I feel like Ramsey and Pascall are carrying this thing. I can't imagine the show would survive. They would definitely lose me. Of course they probably want more than two seasons so they'll have to diverge at some point.

    Curious to see where the finale leaves us next week.
    They definitely upped the creep factor considerably, while keeping the setting from the end of the first game intact. I was actually really impressed by it, and it was that episode that made me buy all in to Bella Ramsey. She hadn't quite won me over yet.
