Early reviews for HBO’s Last of Us adaptation are officially in, and they paint a thoroughly promising picture.
Fans of the games behind the upcoming series are thoroughly heartened by the news, but few believe claims that the show improves on the games. Naughty Dog’s creations are simply to masterful to be bested, but that isn’t to say HBO can’t make something of different, but similar, quality. The actors behind many of the show’s most necessary characters are certainly putting in their all, and leaning on their past experiences to add that vital human element to their performance.
