The Last of Us series took an iconic game and managed to deliver a brutal, raw, and emotional adaptation that both respects the source material and breathes new life into it.
What's amazing is how the series doesn't shy away from moral complexity; Joel and Ellie make hard choices that have real, often tragic consequences, and the show dives deep into the cost of those choices.
If we compare this series to the well known TWD, we can find a lot of similarities, without 7 seasons (I'm not trash talking TWD). Here we got instead of a full group survival, we get the development between 2 characters that initially hated wach other but then proceed to make the hard choices together (but didnt bite anyones neck #RickGrimes). Fast zombies like Zombieland, but serious like TWD, as well as the different groups of survivors along the way. Searching for a cure, which in TWD stopped being a problem after Eugene,but the ending of The LAst of Us, showing that even after all the choices, all the problems to try to obtain a cure, nothing was more important than Ellie and Joel staying together. Pretty cool.
