The pilot of the 'Last of Us' is one of the best pilots I've ever watched. It is a seriously exciting, terrifying and emotional episode of television.

The world presented here is fascinating and feels authentic as a post apocalyptic society.

I feel this series had so many interesting paths it COULD have taken.

The first few episodes set the perfect scene. Some felt episode 3 'Long, long time' derailed the series but I personally loved it. It was 'real life' inside this new world. It was a beautiful love letter to human relationships.

However, as the series went on, I felt the episodes were rushed.

The dialogue was cheesy at times. The characters and the relationships weren't developed enough.

The action fell away and the focus became telling too many half hearted stories.

The penultimate episode was well paced and the performances were excellent but in the end I'm left unsatisfied by the finale.

I have hopes for season 2 and won't give up watching yet!
