The pilot episode captures the game's opening sequence so well, and the characters are on point so far. Hope the rest of the season keeps it up, but my plea is really with what might come after this season. If there's anyone with any kind of pull, PLEASE do not follow the game for a follow-up season with The Last of Us 2's storyline. It betrays so much of what makes The Last of Us so special, and it will absolutely destroy the series. You have something special right now; it is the talk around the water cooler. We can easily live in this reality for a few seasons. But no matter how much you think TLOU2 needs to be represented, DO NOT DO IT. Just toss that storyline away.
