- In 2003 a parasitic fungus ravages the planet, turning humans into violent predators known as Infected. Twenty years later, hardened survivor Joel (Pedro Pascal) is hired by a group of rebellious freedom fighters to smuggle 14-year-old Ellie (Bella Ramsey) out of an oppressive quarantine zone.

Excellent - sucks you right into the story - The Last of Us: Series 1 review by AW
At the time of writing this review there were only two others on here, both one-star. This is a shame, because this is one of the best-made shows to come out lately. Yes, I've played the video game, but this is a TV adaptation, so those expecting none-stop action might be disappointed. The character development is first rate, by the end I was fully invested in them and had stopped comparing it mentally with the video game.
The scenes featuring people at varying levels of infection are handled very well, without over-the-top gore but still gripping and very tense at times. Overall, I loved this series and it is one I'll watch again.

the last of us - The Last of Us: Series 1 review by tb
every thing that was good about the game has been taken out , so basically all we get is the cut scenes and hardly any action at all . charactors in the game who only got a mention now have an episode to them selves and its all talk . fight and battle scenes from the game are gone or very very brief and the series concentrates mainly on talk , talk and more talk . i wont even bother with series 2 , its a struggle to get through the boredom of the 1st series

Very predictable and boring pandemic parasitic fungal virus movie based on a computer game - The Last of Us: Series 1 review by PV
I watched some of the first disc then could stand it no more. Based on a computer game and it shows - an awful quiet soundtrack always on in the background like a computer game - awful.
FAR better than this is the superb British film THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS (2016) which also features a fungus parasitic virus infecting people and turning them into zombies hungry for human flash, THAT IS GREAT. Paddy Considine and Glen Close in that too.
Also THE BAY is fun as is SHAUN OF THE DEAD. 28 DAYS LATER. THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN,. and the Stephen Soderburgh's CONTAGION (2011) which was influenced by SARS so is very like Covid in 2020. ALL great to watch. PONTYPOOL is a cheap Canadian B-movie. Other films play on the same theme.
This? No. Very B-movie, trashy, predictable, boring. Maybe one for the kids. Not for me.
