The Last of Us - Episode 1 Review - HBO
In my review of Episode 1 of The Last of Us on HBO Max, "When You're Lost in the Darkness", we meet our cast of main characters: Joel, Tess, Ellie...and some supporting cast, like Tommy and Marlene. This is hands-down the best premiere episode of a show I have ever seen, and one of the best pieces of film I've ever watched.
It's also 85 freaking minutes long, which is one of the reasons I freaking love HBO: they aren't afraid to give us shows with MEAT on their bones. And also terrify us. Cuz this was terrifying as well.
The Last of Us manages to pull off one of the greatest heists in the history of video game adaptations. It transcends adaptation and manages to stand alone on its own two legs as a piece of prestige television. HBO has a hit on its hands with this one, and I'm more than happy to be along for the ride.
