In every way and form this show just isn't good, and it totally misses the mark of the games intensity and magnificent story telling.

Most of the shows scenes are taken from the games filler interactive gaming scenes, where you as a player have to explore survive for moving between the games magnificent cutscenes. These cutscenes are what makes this game so special, and which should have been the TV-shows real focus, but aren't.

Instead it seems the show writers are more focused on the possibility to drag the show out as long as possible by focusing on the in-between and until now almost solely focus the show on game fillers. There is a little storytelling in every episode, and just the 3'rd episode tries to expand on one of the games stories, in an surprisingly sensitive, well written and well played way.

The two main characters are badly casted, especially Ellie which totally misses the mark of the games portrait of a young girl trying to figure out her place in the world, and this role she unwillingly has been thrown into, based on her genes.

But seriously, if you really want to experience this fantastic story of The Last of Us, play the game yourself, or at least watch one of the many gameplays of the game instead, you will thank me...
