For those yet to experience the first season, it encompasses the entire storyline of the original game and the *Left Behind* expansion, enriched with additional world-building narratives that enhance the overall impact. The scripts were meticulously crafted by showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, with Druckmann having served as a writer and creative director for the video game series.
In the Max series, Pedro Pascal embodies the character of Joel Miller, while Bella Ramsey brings Ellie to life. Notably, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, the original voices of Joel and Ellie from the games, also appear in the show. The series follows Joel as he escorts Ellie across a post-apocalyptic America overrun by fungal zombies, with Ellie holding the potential key to humanity's salvation.
As a fan of the video game series, I believe the show does an excellent job of honoring the powerful narrative. For a deeper dive, you can check out our detailed review of *The Last of Us* season one.
