The Last of Us
So my husband and I started watching HBO Max’s latest production, The Last of Us. All I knew going into it was that it was based off a video game that I watched him play about 10 minutes of and that it was about zombies, a part of feature creatures that I never liked. Zombies are gross and weird and there is no consistency with their lore and I think writers that center them try too hard to be interesting and simply end up being lazy. That said, The Last of Us got me with solid scientific backing. As well as having a truly amazing cast that I love from their other projects. Pedro Pascal was a wonderful casting choice and has had my heart from Game of Thrones, Bella Ramsey whom I also love from Game of Thrones and the real love of my life Anna Torv, perhaps the hottest woman alive and my bestie from Fringe. All in all the story and the casting was enough to get me to watch it.
