One viewer, @ccmrose said: “The Last of Us spoilers. They’re being so faithful to the game and this is sooo cool.”
While @WICK3D_ added: “The Last of Us episode 1 is the dictionary definition of how to open a show.”
@MightyKeef explained how the simpler approach to storytelling still works wonders: “The Last of Us premier is proof that if you already have a great IP and storytelling, you don’t need to take too many creative risks to make your adaptation unique.”
