The Last of Us: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Ben Dowell Times (UK) While the special effects are undeniably top-notch, this nine-part series was a hit that reached way beyond its gaming fanbase in large part due to the crisp, emotional storytelling, particularly with its two-handers. Mar 18, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Phillip Maciak The New Republic Episode by episode, there’s a lot to recommend The Last of Us. Feb 24, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Nina Metz Chicago Tribune I like that The Last of Us isn’t consumed with telling stories about the powerful but instead is focused on regular people who are just trying to make it through this mess. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 22, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Nadya Martinez GothamGeekGirl The Last of Us is a phenomenal adaptation that successfully transforms the beloved and iconic franchise to a new medium that completely elevates the story. The subtle changes don’t affect the narrative as a whole but add necessary context and depth. Rated: 9/10 Jul 17, 2024 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Alex Valencia Q+ Magazine It takes everything that made the source material so special and bolsters it with powerful character-driven episodes that help us realize that when all is said and done, there are actually more terrifying things than the infected wiping out the world. Jul 15, 2024 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net At its best, the series strikes free from the growing pains that video game adaptations suffer from, and shows how rich and textured Druckmann’s world can be. Rated: 3/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Patty Z Just watched the first two episodes so maybe it will improve but so far I think I’ve seen this plot 100 times before. Really slow moving too. Sound effects of infected people were copied from World War Z. Nothing original so far. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Mony J Pedro is fantastic in this series! Another great adaptation of a game into a series! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review Richard S I absolutely loved this show. I couldn't put it down. To find out that it is faithful to the source material makes me want to play the game. More shows should stay faithful to the source material because there is a reason why we love it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Audience Member Must watch TV they pulled it off Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/10/24 Full Review Audience Member i love the original last of us series, this was so well acted and filmed, it did the series so much justice ^^. i remember being apprehensive about Ellie's casting because i grew up watching the worst witch so seeing Bella Ramsey do a role so vastly to Mildred was like a huge ? in my brain but they totally did an awesome job as Ellie!! Pedro Pascal was such an awesome Joel as well, i know they both got along on set but i you could tell through their acting that they had a lot of chemistry you know, two amazing actors who did an awesome job in an awesome series (≧◡≦) Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Rafael C Faithful adaptation! With great editing and performances, however, it loses some momentum with accelerated developments and others slower throughout the season's storyline and in some episodes. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
