Anyone watching it? Really good show on HBO based on the horror game and 3 episodes in is absolutely slaying it. Based on a scenario that in theory could actually happen which makes it ever so slightly unsettling in the way a zombie show doesn’t.
Stars the great Pedro Pascal and the little girl from Game of Thrones who played Lyanna Mormont and she’s very good in it.
So far, so excellent. Showing that weekly released shows imo are far more addictive than binge releases.
The Last of Us
posted on 31/1/23
Having played the game, I was looking forwards to the series. 2 episodes in so far and enjoying it. The missus wasn't so sure she wanted to watch another zombie series, but I explained that if it is loyal to the game then it should be quite different to TWD etc. She has still moaned that it is a bit slow.
The only slight gripe I have is that I can't really associate the actress with the game version/character of Ellie. But she is still a good actress and did a fine job in GOT. Looking forwards to the rest of the series - just annoying that I can't binge it all.

I was scrolling through Twitter yesterday and some knooobbb said ‘ffs, The Last of Us has gone all woke, I can’t watch anymore’ or something like that.
Just because of the plot point of episode 3. Some people are such caaaants.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I had a feeling there might be something like this to it when I saw The Guardian headline referring to it as "absolutely magical television".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As has been said Offermans performance is as good as any performance in a tv show. As good as any can think of anyway
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not saying it isn't. But nowadays wokeness seems prerequisite for The Guardian to rave about any cultural product. Whether a show, film,play, musical act, book ... you can fully expect it to be marked up or down depending on that factor alone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
dont know. I dont read into that stuff too much, which is pretty much the other spectrum of it. And I certainly dont follow the guardian !

It was great though.

How does he even walk around with that thing?
Hope they include this scene next week in the car at the start or something.

I do, but their habit of shining everything through that woke prism of theirs is just so tiresome.
Anyway, let you lads get on with your chat. Mine was just a side note.

Agree, Offerman was brilliant. Awards incoming.
Great game. Equally great show. Hooked.
