I've never played the games, but I always heard The Last of Us was so good. Everything people told me about it said I'd rather watch the game than play it. I was wrong.

HBO hasn't had a really good show in a long time. Lately they've been buying up properties to adapt because they have a built in audience, but I'm guessing they always see a giant drop-off in around the 3rd and 4th episode.

Here we are four episodes into a series and I'm bored to tears. I WANTED to like this show, I forgave many stupid moments in the first two episodes, and then they completely wasted the third episode with a completely inconsequential story. It's like they have no idea that people are waiting to be DRAWN INTO their zombie show, which four episodes in has almost no zombies.

The ultimate Achilles heel of this show is that it hinges on the relationship between two incredibly dull characters. The edgy teenage girl character is extremely annoying, and I'd rather see the brooding martyr guy just dump her in a hole and go on being mopey than continue watching their story.
