Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGustavo Santaolalla, the music composer for video games The Last of Us (2013) and The Last of Us: Part II (2020), was brought on to compose the series soundtrack.
- GoofsAs with the game, the series' depiction of the cordyceps fungus has some inaccuracies. Overall, the probability of a fungus of this type evolving the need and capability to infect humans is astronomically small. Human brains contain hundreds of thousands of times more neurons compared to an ant brain, and it would be an extraordinarily rapid evolution for cordyceps to gain the ability to infect and take over one. Even if it did, fungal infections are slow, taking a matter of weeks, and nothing like the near-instant transformation depicted; new filaments take some time and energy to produce. All 600 species of Cordyceps which seize control of insect bodies do so to force the host into a humid place where the fungus can feed on the body and spread its spores, so if an evolved cordyceps infected a human and over the course of many days transformed the body into a shambling host, the fungus' end goal would be much the same. Lastly, while insects do gain some level of aggression when infected, they normally do not attack other insects.
- Crazy creditsThe opening titles display a Cordyceps fungus taking on the forms of various landscapes, and finally the forms of Joel and Ellie.
Featured review
Feels as natural as possible.
First of all, I would like to say that I have never played the games and therefore cannot make any comparisons.
But that was not a problem at all. You can understand the series completely even if you have not played the games.
The first thing that caught my eye were the incredibly beautiful and detailed sets. Even though you can clearly see here and there that some things were done with a the computer, that does not take away from the atmosphere of the series at all.
The other thing that struck me as very positive was how natural the relationships and dialogues felt.
The relationship between Elli and Joel in particular felt more real than I have rarely seen in a series.
The acting was also good. I already knew Pedro Pascal and therefore expected him to do well, which he did without question.
I had not heard of Bella Ramsey before, so I did not know what to expect, but her performance really blew me away. She did her role damn well and I am convinced that she has a successful future in acting ahead of her.
