I'm not a gamer by any means, but my son is, so last of us is a game I saw him playing that looked interesting, so I played it years ago. When I heard they were making a show I thought it would turn out like most video game movies, at best case it would be watchable, fun, and forgettable. I was very wrong, they kept everything that was good about the game, in all fairness the game was pretty well written, but they have added layer on top of layer of plot and incredibly interesting characters. Combine that with some very scary zombies, good tension and it's a winner. This is far more than your average zombie outing. My wife hates just about anything related to horror(except the conjuring series for some reason), but she will watch this, and deep down in a place she won't admit probably likes it.
