Some of the shows elements such as the design, special effects, and cinematography all work together to create a deeply immersive and believable post-apocalyptic world. The show's attention to detail and commitment to realism is impressive. Some of the story beats and visuals are perfect and stunning; however, I've seen enough, and there is more net negative than positive.

Bella Ramsey as Ellie. I mean, come on. They might as well have cast Carrot Top as Nathan Drake. I mean, she looks about as much like the character as I look like the King of England. And the writing for her is like they took the original script and put it through a blender with some soy milk and a dash of entitlement. I'm pretty sure I've heard better acting in a middle school play.

Pedro Pascal as Joel? I was hoping for someone with more grit and less glitter. He's lost his edge and his attitude, and he's more likely to cry in the fetal position than fight. It's like he's Ellie's bumbling sidekick, not her protector and father figure. Joel is one of the most iconic characters in gaming history, and they've turned him into a shell of his former self. The writers seem to have forgotten what made him great in the first place - his strength, his determination, and his willingness to do whatever it takes to survive.

With all the girl bosses in the show, it's like they're trying to compensate for something. Look, I'm all for strong female characters, but a Karen from HR leading a group of survivors? That's like putting Gwyneth Paltrow in charge of a science lab.

I'm all for inclusivity and diversity, but when you're trying so hard to check all the boxes, it comes off as more forced than a vegan at a BBQ joint. And let's not forget about the pacing of the show. They spend so much time on side characters and subplots that it takes away from the real tension and action of the game. It's like they're trying to pad out the runtime to make it seem more important than it really is. Newsflash, writers: we can tell when you're stalling for time and overreaching for nominations.

Overall, "The Last of Us" TV show is a mess. It's like they took a masterpiece and scribbled all over it with a crayon and then gave it a lobotomy. There are better ways to spend your time. Like counting grains of sand on the beach.
