Everything you need to know before you watch! The Last of Us is one of the most beloved video game franchises of all time. And now following the premiere of the highly anticipated HBO series of the same name, fans are feeling cautiously optimistic that the show might break the video game adaptation curse. There’s been a long history of video games being adapted into film and TV series that were more often bad than good – and never really great. The Last of Us is poised to be the first great video game adaptation by avoiding the pitfalls of its predecessors, and by winning over gamers first.
