Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGustavo Santaolalla, the music composer for video games The Last of Us (2013) and The Last of Us: Part II (2020), was brought on to compose the series soundtrack.
- GoofsAs with the game, the series' depiction of the cordyceps fungus has some inaccuracies. Overall, the probability of a fungus of this type evolving the need and capability to infect humans is astronomically small. Human brains contain hundreds of thousands of times more neurons compared to an ant brain, and it would be an extraordinarily rapid evolution for cordyceps to gain the ability to infect and take over one. Even if it did, fungal infections are slow, taking a matter of weeks, and nothing like the near-instant transformation depicted; new filaments take some time and energy to produce. All 600 species of Cordyceps which seize control of insect bodies do so to force the host into a humid place where the fungus can feed on the body and spread its spores, so if an evolved cordyceps infected a human and over the course of many days transformed the body into a shambling host, the fungus' end goal would be much the same. Lastly, while insects do gain some level of aggression when infected, they normally do not attack other insects.
- Crazy creditsThe opening titles display a Cordyceps fungus taking on the forms of various landscapes, and finally the forms of Joel and Ellie.
Featured review
Great first episode
***" Update after watching the full series ****
Well I think overall Id give this a 7 or 8, the opening episode was definitely a 9 the rest of the show would be getting either 7 or 8s depending on how appealing they were to me.
Everything was well made, well acted, well shot etc. The brutality of it all was maintained throughout. I watched some of the game footage on you tube and there is a lot here that is identical to the game so thats a plus for fans of the game plus it works for a TV show so kudos to the game makers.
The story and overlying themes are very simple and relate to parenting and how we protect our children or the young.
It could have had more Cordyceps and more action in places but this was more of a drama surrounding the struggles of a broken world.
Overall ill give it an 8 out of 10 a very good Tv Show that stays loyal to its source and was very well produced.
**** Update *******
Ill start by saying I've never played the games, I've no idea how true to the source it is.
The first episode was very impressive, they told hold back here and emotionally you are involved quite early on.
The prologue was informative but understated, The opening was brilliant and as good as anything you would see in a movie.
The middle section is good and paced well to provide enough information going forward as to the objective the players and whats happened to the world outside.
The episode ends at the start of an adventure.... I hope this quality remains throughout the show so the adventure is as good as the opening ( a hard act to follow ).
Ive enjoyed the characters so far, not all likeable but our lead Pedro Pascal is familiar and trustworthy and does a good job. Bella Ramsey of Game of Thrones fame plays the female lead, I really hated her in Game of Thrones, her acting is a bit less wooden here so I hope I don't end up hating her in this. So far she has been fine.
Its only 1 episode but its probably a 9 out of 10. I would be shocked if they can keep up this sort of standard and narrative throughout the series. Having said that there is plenty of scope for some interesting scenes. Im not a big fan of Zombie films or shows but can find them entertaining. ( I found Black Summer S2 brilliant )
I hope this doesn't turn out to be just another zombie show.
9/10 ( Ep1)
