The first season of the HBO show *The Last of Us* is widely considered the best video game adaptation to date.

For those who haven't yet experienced the first season, it encompasses the entire narrative of the original game and the *Left Behind* expansion, along with additional storylines that enhance the world-building. The scripts for the season were crafted by showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, the latter of whom was a writer and creative director for both *The Last of Us* video games.

In the Max series, Pedro Pascal brilliantly embodies Joel Miller, while Bella Ramsey brings Ellie to life. Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, who voiced Joel and Ellie in the games, also appear in the show. The plot follows the familiar path of the first game, with Joel guiding Ellie across a post-apocalyptic America teeming with fungal zombies, where Ellie's unique role could be the key to saving humanity.

As a fan of the *The Last of Us* series, I believe the show honors the exceptional storytelling of the games. For a more in-depth look, check out our review of *The Last of Us* season one.
