Will Gamers Like The Last of Us (HBO)? First Impressions

If you've listened to this podcast long enough, you'll know that The Last of Us holds a special place in our hearts.

But when it was first announced that a TV show was going to be made, and that Neil Druckmann would be receive the full HBO treatment, we weren't completely sold on it.

Andrew was optimistic, but Mikey thought it would be redundant.

How have their impressions changed as we tiptoed closer to the release date, and now that it's upon us, will either of them eat their words?

Before we get started on our deep dive into the pilot, and dissect the performances of Pedro Pascal (Joel) and Bella Ramsey (Ellie), we take a moment to talk about our long standing relationships with the franchise.
