I should know better.

Critics raved and fans lavished The Last of Us with praise. That should have been a big red flag that this series isn't for me. Regardless, I finally gave it a chance. Yawn. And I was just as disappointed as I usually am with content from HBO.

Two episodes in and I don't think I can stomach any more of it.

There is no plot to speak of, no coherent storyline. However, the acting and production are good; otherwise I would have rated the show lower. There is nothing that pulls me in to continue watching, nothing to feel good about, nothing hopeful to look forward to.

And apparently the series has already been renewed for a second season. So I guess fans will get more of what they want. I'll take a pass.
