The Last of Us HBO series is finally here! This series took a lot of time to come together, and now that it is here, it is winning all kinds of praise from both fans and critics. Since there are not many live-action movies and series that capture the essence of video games very effectively, this series has quickly become a landmark for such adaptations.

Even though writers and directors took a lot of liberties with characters and made some small changes, the series is still considered pretty faithful to its material. Maybe that’s why it is so successful. This success is not hidden from Sony either.
