The first season of HBO's *The Last of Us* is widely regarded as the best video game adaptation to date. It closely follows the narrative established in the 2013 Naughty Dog game for PS3, delivering a compelling experience.

This collectible will be released on March 18, allowing viewers to refresh their memory or catch up on the gripping story before the new season begins.

For those who haven't yet experienced the first season, it encompasses the entire storyline of the original game and the *Left Behind* expansion, enriched with additional world-building narratives that enhance the overall impact. The scripts for this season were crafted by showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, the latter being a key writer and creative director for the *The Last of Us* video game series.

In the Max series, Pedro Pascal portrays Joel Miller, and Bella Ramsey brings Ellie to life. Notably, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, who voiced Joel and Ellie in the games, also appear in the show. The series follows the core plot of the first game, depicting Joel's journey with Ellie across a post-apocalyptic America overrun by fungal zombies, where Ellie's role could be crucial in saving humanity from the outbreak.

As a fan of the *The Last of Us* series, I believe the show does an excellent job of honoring the game's remarkable story. For a deeper dive, you can read our review of *The Last of Us* season one.
