Yesterday, January 15, was the international premiere of one of the most anticipated series of 2023. The Last of Us is an exclusive series on HBO and HBO Max.

The series starring Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller and Bella Ramsey as Ellie have left all video game fans satisfied with HBO's great adaptation.

In the first episode, we relived the game's great story, being quite faithful to the original story, with many scenes with identical dialogues and scenes that made you feel like you were playing the game. Of course, not everything can be 100% identical; however, instead of changing things from the main story, what the writers and managers of the series did was add scenes that complemented the context of the narrative.

THIS IS WHAT THE FANS AND PERSONALITIES OF THE GAMING INDUSTRY ARE SAYING ABOUT THE SERIES

Thanks, Reggie. Excited to see Mario later this year!

Naughty Dog and HBO completely knocked it out of the park!

First episode of The Last Of Us was outstanding. Was dreading the opening scene and they did such a gut wrenching job. Really excited to see where they take it.

We can't miss what Neil Druckmann had to say about the beginning of this series:

And exhale! Pedro, Bella you had big shoes to fill. You delivered and then some! Couldn’t be prouder! Craig… you’re okay, I guess (thank you, thank you, thank you… )

And thank you all for the kind words. We read everything! The journey is just starting! #TheLastOfUs pic.twitter.com/hEZYZYOdjZ

Gamers highlight the incredible nods to the Naughty Dog game, the spectacular music by Gustavo Santaolalla, the recreation of the setting, and, of course, the performance of the protagonists by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.

Some players stated that they were extremely surprised with the level of quality of the series. They assure that it is the best video game adaptation so far. Likewise, other fans are happy and impressed to relive iconic moments with the same force as with the 2013 game.
