The Last Of Us (TV Series)

[Philly-Red]

Has anyone watched the first episode yet?

I tuned in last night, having played the original game for the first time over Xmas, and I thought it was class.

It made the Walking Dead look like it was made by a bunch of amateur's.

I saw the episode length (1 hour 20 minutes), and thought christ I'm going to be falling asleep come the end of this. That hour and 20 felt like 15 minutes.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching it and can't wait for next week's episode.

To anyone who's not played the game, or is put off because of it's an adaptation of a video game, I really would give it a chance because it's got rave reviews after one episode and rightly so.

It isn't going to be drawn out into many seasons like the walking dead either. There'll definitely be a season 2 (basing that off of the fact the game has a sequel), and possibly a 3rd but I think that'll be it.

Gonna have to try this. I thought the story of the game was great but the gameplay was horrific so never finished it.

All 3 of them are too old, Ellen Page has also transitioned and is now Elliot Page (also 35).

Ellie's meant to be a child, Bella Ramsey at least still looks like a young teenager.
Especially when it's a multi-season programme, Scanlen, the youngest of your 3 examples, is 24 right now (and also looks nothing like Ellie) and would be playing a 14 year old for this season, and if it follows the plot of the games exactly then a 19 year old in the next one.

Ramsey is 19 now, but looks younger.

I think the biggest criticism of the show in the build up has been her casting, but she's a good actress and I doubt people who've never played the game are going to be as hung up on her not looking like an exact replica of the video game character.

Ahhhhhh aye I guess not for Elliot then...I was just going off memory from one of the X-Men films ages ago.
