The Last of Us games are very special to me and when I heard they were adapting the first game (soon to include Part 2 as well) into a television show I was immediately worried about it because of the long history of absolutely *terrible* video game adaptations. However, as more information came out - Druckmann being heavily involved, casting decisions, budget, etc - I began to get my hopes up. Having now finished season 1, I'm happy to say I quite enjoyed this adaptation. It's not perfect, but it's a very faithful and well done series that has left me eagerly anticipating season 2.

I think I'll always prefer the games over the show - but there's no denying they did justice to the source material here, and I really couldn't have asked for more than that.
