Evening chaps

First thread so thought I would see who has watched the first episode of the last of us and have you played the game? I am quite impressed with the opening episode and am looking forward to the next one!

Opener good. Very like the game; even down to uncle Tommy’s pink shirt and Cuban heeled shoes.
Felt a bit underwhelmed and disappointed by the rest to be honest.

@Workerbeep I have been waiting for this series for so long and now it is here I am just glad. A little reserved in terms of action but I am sure now they have left the safe zone it will get better! 🤞

Yes @MrBusDriver 🤞

CrackersDontMatter · 17/01/2023 19:32

So excited for this! Absolutely loved the first game, haven't played the second as we don't have a playstation any more but it was a huge hit here. We're watching at the weekend but the trailer looked great.

Not familiar with the game but sounded an interesting TV show. Unfortunately I don't have Sky or Now so can't watch. I hope it gets picked up and bought by another streamer.

@ouch321 its hbo and sky have exclusive deal
with hbo in U.K. till 2024.

Fantastic- absolutely loved it. Pedro Pascal is beyond perfect as Joel.

TheSproutOfWrath · 18/01/2023 07:36

I watched both game walk throughs with Techno Ninja during lockdown so very much looking forward to it, especially the "clickers"!

MotherOfGreyhounds · 18/01/2023 17:32

I found it immensely grueling. But also bloody brilliant. Not sure how you could say the first episode lacked action though! I needed a lie down afterwards. 😯

Lilaciriscross · 18/01/2023 21:50

I can tell it’s good tv. I think it just might be too stressful though. 😬

ANiceBigCupOfTea · 21/01/2023 09:32

I am a massive fan of the games and I absolutely loved it.
The casting was all fantastic. I'm excited for more.

SpacersChoice · 21/01/2023 09:35

Also a huge game fan and so far the TV show is great, but I love Anna Torv. Haven’t seen anything with Pedro Pascal in until now.

She was incredible as Tess. I'd thought she was good in Mindhunter as well.

ANiceBigCupOfTea · 27/01/2023 23:15

What did we all think of episode 2?

Shekissedagirlandshelikedit · 30/01/2023 21:36

I'm so glad I've found a thread about this!

I've never played the game and I know nothing at all about it, but I'm watching the TV series after a friend recommended it.

The first two episodes were brilliant and had me hooked right away but I just watched episode three and was completely blown away by it. It was the total opposite of what I was expecting, I cried my eyes out. The casting is brilliant, Ellie in particular lights up the screen. I can't wait for next week.

Tontostitis · 30/01/2023 21:42

Haven't played the game yet but will when the series is over. I just watched episode 3 and it was so moving. I usually knit or crochet but I'm absolutely glued to this. Each episode has been so good and each one stands in its own right. Absolutely fantastic.

Tilllly · 30/01/2023 21:58

Not seen Ep3 yet, nor played game

But thought first two were good

Hate the fungal growth all over the face tho, proper creepy

caramac04 · 30/01/2023 22:03

I haven’t played the games but am really enjoying the series. Wish I could binge it. A week between episodes seems way too long.

Workerbeep · 31/01/2023 21:27

Loved episodes 2&3.

Simulacra · 31/01/2023 21:29

DD15 and I bawled at Ep3 yesterday. Was not expecting that.

Workerbeep · 31/01/2023 21:38

yes it was slightly unexpected but so well done.
