The Last of Us is entertaining to an extent. It isn't anything new or revolutionary. It certainly isn't a fresh take on zombie movies. It's the same plot we've all seen time and time again.

This show is a showcase to what a good marketing budget can accomplish. The name recognition of the award winning video game, coupled with HBOs deep pockets for marketing, helped propel this into a completely overblown B-list show. The marketing was so good that people might actually believe it is something extraordinary.

It's not. It's a good show to throw on if you've ran out of content. It's better than your average Netflix show. It's not anything special.
