![]() ![]() What an incredibly captivating, plot-twisted introduction to a show.Īs we watch the outbreak unfold, the opening sequence is fast-paced, anxiety-inducing and extremely well-acted. Sarah is shot and killed by a soldier - a violent and unexpected end to someone the audience thought was going to be in the whole show. The audience is lured into a sense of safety, assuming that since we spend so much time with Sarah, she and Joel will be our main characters. Her and Joel’s relationship is idyllic, personal and heartfelt. The opening 30 minutes are spent following Sarah as the outbreak occurs. The first episode of the series opens in 1968 with two scientists on a talk show talking about the (very real) possibility of a catastrophic fungal infection that could happen if “the world were to get slightly warmer.” The show then switches to 2003, where the audience sees the initial outbreak through the eyes of Joel Miller, played by Pedro Pascal, his daughter Sarah, played by Nico Parker, and his brother Tommy, played by Gaberial Luna. Watching HBO’s adaptation is my first exposure to the world of “ The Last of Us ,” and from what I’ve seen so far, the story might become one of my favorite plots I have ever seen. I didn’t have a PlayStation, nor did I ever watch a YouTube playthrough. On top of that, I personally have no experience with the series story. And in just two episodes, “ The Last of Us” has shown its potential to be one of the most well-written, excellently-casted and beautifully-designed TV shows of all time. ”ġ0 years later, HBO is producing a live-action adaptation of Naughty Dog’s creation. However, in 2013, game developers at Naughty Dog produced a game that offers action-adventure and sci-fi lovers a unique perspective on the “post-apocalyptic” archetype: “ The Last of Us. After all, one of the most famous pieces of post-apocalyptic media is AMC’s “ The Walking Dead ,” which is a show where bloody, stumbling zombies bite chunks of flesh out of survivors. When one thinks of “post-apocalyptic” media, images of bloody, stumbling zombies who bite chunks of flesh out of survivors tend to pop up. By Faith Allendorf, Managing Editor for Reporting ![]()
