By far the best videogame inspired content ever created!
The show keep everything great from the game while adding a level of cinematic satisfaction to every second of it... Pedro Pascal does an amazing job as Joel. His performance is convincing and layered, can't wait to see how he dives into other parts of Joel's journey. Gabriel Luna steals the show in every scene he's in... his tommy is maybe one of the closest to the game... his accent, the body language, it's all a very good Tommy!
And Bella Ramsey kills it as Ellie, her Ellie is smart, quick with her words and knife! Her performance is perhaps one of the best you'll ever come across.
The direction and writing is as high level as it can get, scenes feel engaging even when little action is happening and characters feel familiar even at first sight... the writers captured the tone perfectly and the set design implements that very tone to every scene.
To sum it all up, HBO's The Last of Us is a outstanding piece of television which stays true to it's source, but keeps veteran fans on their toes with respectful changes to the story.
