Right from the start, I asked myself the question. Why are they making a series based on a play that most people already know by heart. I didn't see much of a reason. After all, I've played the first episode of The Last of Us more than once, so the story doesn't surprise me anymore, and more importantly, this isn't a game anymore, so I can't even be entertained by the gameplay. On the one hand though, I'm quite pleased with the finale, because at least there was something extra at times that wasn't in the game, so there's a little something new, but otherwise it's mostly the same. It's hard to say what I think of this series. I'll start with the good stuff. It was really nice to watch. The camera angles, the environmental shots. Nice. I also liked the casting of Joel as Pedro Pascal. Bella Ramsey was cool too, just not as similar in appearance to the cast, but what can you do. Now I'll move on to the worst part, and for me that was the 3rd episode about Bill, which I didn't enjoy and take as unnecessary. Well, the rest of it was great. So I'll just reiterate that it's something I've already experienced in the game and I don't see any reason to show it again especially after the PS5 remake came out, where the graphics are already so hilarious that you get just that movie feel in the cut-scenes. I personally would only recommend The Last of Us series to those who haven't played the game. If you've already played the game, then I don't see it from my perspective to watch the series, which while it showed something new here and there, for me, nothing worth the investment of a few hours of watching. Still, since it was nice to watch and was well made in my opinion, I enjoyed it and thought it was great. However, I repeat that I still don't really see the point in making this series. I could have done without it. I only recommend it to those who haven't played the game.
