Of course I had to watch "The Last of Us", since it was based on the game. And also I was somewhat thrilled that they had Pedro Pascal to portray the role of Joel. And I did enjoy playing the first of the games, though I never have tried part II.

And of course with "The Last of Us" being a thing that has infected - or zombies - in it, then I had to watch it given my fascination with all things zombie.

The storyline in "The Last of Us" is adequate, and it is somewhat true to the story in the game. However, you shouldn't expect a series based solely and entirely on the contents from the games though. That would make for a dull experience.

I enjoyed the story in "The Last of Us", because it is a diverse one that brings the audience to many different locations and for different purposes. So the series, thankfully, doesn't get too monotonous throughout its first season.

The acting performances in "The Last of Us" are good, and they have a good cast ensemble for portraying the various roles. Pedro Pascal does a good job as Joel. And while I am unfamiliar Bella Ramsey, playing Ellie, I think she does a good job. Sure, the Ellie character is somewhat different than what is portrayed in the game, but it is a minor issue really.

Something that works well in favor of "The Last of Us" is the environment that the story takes place in. Lots of nice locations that definitely look run down, in disrepair and having been reclaimed mostly by Mother Earth. It looked and felt like a post apocalyptic setting, and I enjoyed that.

Visually then "The Last of Us" was quite good. Nice effects and the infected look great.

However, "The Last of Us" isn't all praise and woohoo's though. For a series based on a computer game with infected/zombies, then you get to see surprisingly few of them throughout the episodes. Sure, there was one episode with a heap of infected, but throughout most of the episodes of season one you don't even get to see a single infected. Somewhat disappointing actually, because it somewhat holds the series back from further greatness.

"The Last of Us" is definitely enjoyable, entertaining and watchable. However, it was just lacking in the threat of the infected that apparently brought about the end of civilization.

My rating of "The Last of Us", of season one at least, lands on a six out of ten stars.
