It is the only video game adaptation worth mentioning and one of the best TV series ever made. This is writing at its finest and an it has an emotional depth that let me in tears at the end of each episode. The story of Ellie and Joel in their journey across the post-apocalyptic US and into their own souls is something I will never forget. If the game was already absolutely fantastic, the adaptation for TV is even better.
With HBO's production power, Druckman and Mazin could have resorted to every single cliché on the book, cheap action takes, jump scares and CGI monsters. They would still have a huge success. Instead, they courageously took the risk of a less traveled path, and we find drama and profound human experiences in the most unexpected of places.
Bella, Pedro and the entirety of this fabulous cast give performances like we rarely see on TV and the series most likely will grab every award for this season.
It is a world destroyed by a plague and overtaken by barbarism and totalitarian rule, but rest assured, this is about who WE are as humans and not about some walking dead plague. It's the Last of US. Emphasis in "US".
