The first season of The Last of Us is a masterpiece of post-apocalyptic storytelling that will leave you wanting more. There is hardly anything to complain about, except for maybe the slight absence of the infected. However, this is a minor quibble when you consider the fantastic adaptation of the game, which seamlessly blends game elements with original ideas, stories and the history of the characters.
One of the most impressive aspects of the show for me is its stunning cinematography, which beautifully captures the desolate, haunting world of the post-apocalypse. The costumes and makeup are also noteworthy, adding a layer of realism to the show that truly immerses you in this dystopian landscape. But what truly makes The Last of Us so remarkable, in my personal opinion, is its cast of characters, brought to life by a talented ensemble of actors. In particular, the relationship between Joel and Ellie is a standout, with the two characters forming an unlikely bond that is both heartwarming and heart-wrenching. Joel, a stubborn and gruff survivor, becomes the reluctant protector of Ellie, a young girl and he is willing to sacrifice the whole world for her.
Despite the absence of the infected, The Last of Us is a series that deserves ten stars (decided to subtract a star because of the infected). The other aspects of the show, including its exceptional writing, outstanding acting, and captivating cinematography, more than make up for any minor flaws. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction or just great storytelling in general, The Last of Us is a must-watch. Get ready to be transported to a world unlike any other, where survival is the ultimate goal and the only thing that matters is the bond between those who are left.
