I added "Part 1" to match The Last of Us "Part 1" as in the PS5 remake of the game.

Actually thought the prologue was done better in the game.
Nice some dialogue was carried over and some scenes.
I think they showed too much of the infected and for how much they need to tell they extended parts & cut parts unnecessary.
The City part is definitely better in the game.
And Sarah's death felt more emotional in the game too.
I just wasn't feeling Pedro performance in that scene.

Literally was as imagine Ellie would be in real life. Didn’t feel like she was playing a mimic of the game character but a version of her that fits more to a grounder world. Didn’t expect more world building than the game.

Also im happy to say that the quality on HBO Max was actually pretty good. Still not Netflix or Apple TV crisp but very solid. Solid Dolby Vision.
Everything looked amazing on my OLED and holy fuck am I happy I bought a new audio set up recently. Shit was singing.

Oh fuck those final scenes are for sure from the hospital and they look terrifying as hell.
This show is going to be so good!
Agreed. That was Marlene and she wasn’t super convincing to me, either. The acting is… a little too act-y, if that makes sense? Absolutely it captures The Last of Us’s spirit quite well, and the budget is clearly there, but somehow it’s lacking something, - like I don’t believe the film sets enough or the sense of space. Hopefully that will change in future episodes. The prologue and opening scene were the best part of the episode, and I was almost *gasp* bored by the rest of it.

well if u believe that. Then u have to believe this game would've been forgotten or at best just something on a "hidden gem" list, if this game had been an Xbox exclusive. I don't think its as good as ppl like to claim it is. State of Decay came out the same week. And it held my attention way more. I always felt like it got the triple threat bump of PS exclusive CHECK/Naughty Dog game CHECK/Really pretty graphics CHECK. You make this an Xbox game with okay graphics from rando dev team.....and it wouldn't have gotten any 10's. But nobody wants to have that conversation
Avatar 2 is 3h+… your logic is just awful.

I saw bunch of comments from people never play the game. And they're all really impressed with the show.

For reference, go check the Console Screenshot Thread, I'm literally just after where this episode ends in TLOUPT1 so it's very fresh in my mind 
Anyway so after the first episode......
It's kinda what I expected, it's generally like most okay game adaptations (sorry I'm not seeing a big difference here)
Some changes I didn't like, some I did.
Some new stuff I didn't like, some I did.
I'm not a fan of the new story beats they put into it as what they cut was... better imo
but I guess they needed those actors to have more screen time I guess?
Everyone played their roles fine I have no complaints there.
But the look of the show looks kinda underwhelming in comparison to the game.
Like a TV adaptation of Blockbuster Movie.
It looks lower budget and the art direction, lighting etc just isn't there.
That's probably my biggest gripe.
Overall It's okay, could of been better and it could of been a lot worse
Hopefully it does get better later.

It was ok. Felt a bit rushed and the characters still feel off - it will take me a few episodes to adjust I imagine. Weirdly enough, it didn't feel as "cinematic" as the game.
I hated when the credits rolled though, wanted to keep going. Next episode can't come soon enough.

And for all the bitching and moaning we got about nO SpOrEs... the tendrils replacement was fucking nasty and disgusting. I prefer this to the spores.
Let the showrunners do their thing and stop complaining about shit before you even lay eyes on it.

So I guess next episodes could go like this:
Episode 2: Museum + Death of Tess
Episode 3: Bill and Frank's episode where we see Frank's death
Episode 4: Getting the Car with Bill
Episode 5: Pittsburg Ambush and meeting Henry and Sam, ends with the deaths of Henry and Sam
Episode 6: Reuniting with Tommy and this is where we will see the "You have no idea what loss is" dialogue from Joel
Episode 7: Going to the Campus and/or Left Behind story
Episode 8: David's arc
Episode 9: Hospital
Episode 3: Bill and Frank's episode where we see Frank's death
Episode 4: Getting the Car with Bill
Episode 5: Pittsburg Ambush and meeting Henry and Sam, ends with the deaths of Henry and Sam
Episode 6: Reuniting with Tommy and this is where we will see the "You have no idea what loss is" dialogue from Joel
Episode 7: Going to the Campus and/or Left Behind story
Episode 8: David's arc
Episode 9: Hospital

bunch of cool easter eggs in this episode.

Neighbours from Hell
I thought it was well done. The things I liked better in the game were how it went down at night with the introduction to the infected. The neighbor running over and smashing on the glass door and then Joel coming in not really knowing what was going on I thought had more tension in the game.
And I thought how they met Ellie was better in the game.
But I don’t think the way they did it was bad in the show, it was fine.
Are there going to be multiple seasons? If so, I wonder if they have the balls to kill off Joel again.

The first episode's close adherence to the game story drained much of my excitement. Forming an opinion is difficult when I felt like the episode was getting formalities out of the way. Everything looks great from a technical perspective though. I'm keen to see where the show goes next. My wife who never played the games enjoyed it more. She did get pissed when I told her it was a TV show.
I didn't follow the casting drama much. I think that the show should have swapped who plays Sarah and Ellie. Ellie's performance feels lower than the rest of the cast while Sarah's performance felt wasted on such a short role.
