Inverse

The Last of Us is the greatest TV show of 2023. It's a heartwarming (and very violent) story that may just be an improvement upon the original video game.

Variety

Adapted from the popular video game of the same title by 'Chernobyl’s' Craig Mazin and the game’s designer, Neil Druckmann, 'The Last of Us' can lean too hard on action sequences, but what lies beneath the chaos is the nascent bond between Joel and Ellie.

IndieWire

Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin's faithful HBO adaptation of the former's acclaimed video game follows Joel (Pedro Pescal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as they make their way across a post-apocalyptic American landscape.

Roger Ebert

The result is a show that amplifies what a phenomenal piece of storytelling the game was in the first place, taking a video game more seriously than any adaptation has to date.

The New Yorker

The series works best as an anthropological travelogue of post-catastrophe subcultures, teasing out the disparate ways that survivors rebuild mini-societies and create new alignments of power.
