HBO: The Last of Us (Season 2 is a go)...Sundays @ 9PM EST...Pedro Pascal&Bella Ramsey=Joel&Ellie...NO SPOILERS IF YOU'VE PLAYED THE GAMES

[ALNotSure]

So I watched the video gameplay on youtube and MUCH MUCH prefer that compared to this episode. Not sure why the season finale was the SHORTEST running episode. Only 43 minutes. Felt super rushed and incomplete.

Episide and now season one is a big “‘meh” to me. Not bad but they lost me the last few episodes.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This episode got back to the caliber of the rest of the season outside the previous 2

Seems like an obvious plot for season 2 now

Ellie def knew something was off

Hmm. I’m glad I didn’t play the game like others have said. I’d prefer not to be constantly be comparing the two

Overall it was a great season but I do feel you on certain aspects being rushed

My main gripe is that everyone died. I mean I get it- people would die in that reality but it sort of took away the surprise element. After the third episode I just assumed everyone new would die and they did

 

[B Sox]

The hospital scene actually felt like a video game.

Damn, Ellie born in to some sh from jump….
Great open…

We tried to tell y'all.

Season gets a 6/10

Season gets a 6/10

Through 6 eps I had it rated very highly on the way to a classic

Then 7 and 8 happened- took some luster off

Finale was short but did the job- again without knowing the game

I’m giving 8.5/10 at least

 

[buschfan04]

Season is nowhere near a 6. That’s just review bombers all over again. I’m more attached to the game in most. Season is at least 8. Now I will be harder on season 2 cause Ellie is a whole different animal in part 2. So we will see

 

[Air Champa]

The video gamey stuff was the worst part of this episode. Everybody else had that storm trooper aim besides Joel That's why you don't compare the two or want them to be exactly the same thing.

I'd give the whole season a 9/10. I do wish they'd at least shown them walking towards town before the credits started rolling. Must have been like "sorry guys, we're out of money. that's a wrap."

 

[bigpat630]

9/10 for the season.

Wait you didn’t like episode 8?

Easily top 3 episode of the season.

It didn’t hit for me. The big reveal of eating humans has been done before, it wasn’t that shocking

Felt like they rushed through that camps deaths to the main bad dudes

The other eps got more emotion out of me

 

[Air Champa]

Hearing who played one of the nurses that Joel spared. Wouldn't it be something if they deviated a bit from the game and...

Spoiler

made one of them Abby

 

[a-friend]

Oh no.
This Man Joel, he just went 30-30 with the kill shots.
Ellie better not ever find out what he did.
He’d lose her then.

 

[a-friend]

Finale was perfection.
I guess it “could have been longer”, but ahit man, they got their point across.
They dotted all T’s and crossed all I’s

 

[IATT]

No one to blame but herself.. her whole convo with Joel shoulda told her she wasn’t ready with just them 2 dudes

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

Finale was just ok to me. Enjoyed the season overall though

 

[concordflightxi]

As someone who puts the game top 3 of all time, I could see why the finale didn’t hit the non gamers the same.

We build this bond with Ellie and Joel for 25+ hours? We see the bond between them during that span. Vs 6 maybe 7 hours during the show?

But as a whole work, the season is tops for me.

One of them is the voice of Abby in the game.

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

the acting was hella off in the finale

this series got worse as it went on imo.

Overall 6/10

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

S2 is going to piss me off all over again

Poor Joel - straight cold-blooded.

Doctor didn’t stand a chance

Good finale.

 

[xbiker47]

Wanted more with the finale (I never played the game)

I know they’ve overcome a lot, but felt like joel turned into john wick there in the hospital.

 

[po2345]

I wish PS5 games sold for $19.99 and the release last year was that price.

Ever since the show popped off that game been selling like Coca Cola. I don't think we will ever see it close to that now.

PO

 

[po2345]

Finale was obviously rushed, but I loved the season. Best adaptation of a game ever.
HBO is undefeated. Can't wait for S2 given they will be awarded an insane budget.

5/10

Overrated show, for what it’s purported to be.
