I do not know why there are no topics being made on the Media section on the website would love to see more activity to be honest. I 'd like to believe there are others like me that love TV shows/movies.

So the last of us recently came out as a TV series, taken from the famous video game. If you haven't played the video game it is an AWESOME game but it's playstation exclusive so if you do not own the console go get it because the game is that good!

Here is a link on the show:
https://www.hbo.com/the-last-of-us

Think post-apocalyptic world with zombies.

Episode 1 was out and Episode 2 is released today night I believe!

Go check it out because the TV series is also awesome. I am really excited on how this will turn out.

Yeah I have really enjoyed the first two episodes so far. The Joel casting was perfect.

EP 3 was honestly one of the best things I’ve watched in years. This show is beyond good so far.

Episode 3 was deeply emotional and graphically beautiful, highly recommended

Wow quite a nice series. although episode 3 was a bit gay, the overall premise is enticing. Fungi are exotic as viruses are getting stale. And the corrupted new world order is a nice complication to the plot.

Furthermore, the music stayed true to the game, which I like! Had to immediately play the main theme + opening credit song on the piano for you guys!

Episode 3 was a little strange. So much character build-up for these minor characters and then they kill them off. I haven't played the games. Maybe that's what's missing to fully appreciate these small encapsulated stories.

Playing the games would help; TLoU story is largely people pursuing revenge/greed/despair and being punished for it, and in the games one of these two characters is relevant to a segment of the plot. People that played the game are waiting for and guessing at the conclusion of this arc, because it determines who Joel/Ellie interact with in the coming episodes. Bill and Frank both dying a "happy death" runs contrary to both the themes of the universe at large and upsets the expected plot structure of the next few episodes. It's definitely an engaging episode if you have the game as context, but I could see it coming across as a little strange without it!

Latest episode was great. If they continue to make each episode better than the last, they've got a certified hit on their hands. I wonder where this season ends though. I've played 1 and part of 2.

Great show. I have not played the game but thought ep3 was an absolutely fantastic piece of television.

Yeah, this show is the real deal. Excited to see how far they will stray from the source material as it goes on.

However, + Show Spoiler +
what was the hint at the end of the episode with the stones being moved? was that superhero stuff? I don't remember the first game that well.

If I'm not mistaken, it's a larger infected, one that spews the stuff into the air. They might know what's underneath and why it was "buried" there.

if you noticed in one of the trailers there is a big monster looking thing that comes out of a sewer or something. pretty scary. So it might be it.

it was a fantastic piece of television and it would have been very highly rated for me as standalone. Personally I believe the emphasis at least right now is more human to human interaction and relation-development which unfortunately doesn't interest me as much in series.

I like character progression and relation but not with a slow take on it but rather through series. Hard to explain for me but I think Better Call Saul for example did a good job with that or Breaking Bad.

This series (obviously for me) strikes with great visuals and music, good acting and an interesting plot. I'd still rate it highly so far but the pacing is slow and the episodes for my liking a bit too eventless (for me obv).

7/10 so far. Hope to get something to pull me in as well as hoping to see more of the past and development of how it all went down. I didnt play the games so this is from someone with no knowledge of the source material

Really good show so far.

The main thing that they changed from the game is that the first game is very much on the side of conservative values, and so far the show has not been that, at all. A part of me was worried that the show would be in the same vein as the game in that regard and be effective propaganda, but for once it's legitimate to say that they "went woke". Good for them =)
