the dog deserves an award for that acting

"Tommy help me!!!!"...gets me everytime even when watching reactions...can already see this show cleaning up on the awards next year...amazed how many scenes and lines they kept from the game

The changes they made, make so much sense in terms of the different medium. What works in a game might not work in tv or film and still they gave us the view through the window screen in the beginning. They really balanced this perfectly.

An absolute testament to the story and the acting that even though we knew what was coming, we still all cried.

Hollywood gotta take notes. This is how you do an adaptation. The scenes 1:1 from the game. The CASTING. I was honestly not sold on bella as ellie until i heard her opening few lines. It almost feels like she perfectly captured the way ashley johnson sounded as ellie right down to how she swears. I can't gush enough about this. Next episode is going to be shorter but I'm SO READY.

I love how Tess was the captive but she took over the entire discussion with Robert.

After seeing the first episode I've got the feeling HBO might have broken the curse of live action videogame adaptions :D Love how they rearranged some things and added some expansions on the characters without abandoning the source completely. And they still kept some of the memorable dialogues in

I feel like Bella Ramsey is the new Ashley Johnson / Ellie. I mean that people will remember her as Ellie. She's so convincing! The scene near the end, in the rusty tunnels, where she never stops looking for Tess... that scene was so great in a directorial and performance way! ❤ Also, the look on Joel's face when Ellie stands up in the middle of the street while they are trying to be sneaky was great acting too. Someone mentioned that Ellie standing up was both for narrative purposes *and* as an inside joke for gamers. I like to think it's true. 😅

I did not play the game but I loved the show. The girl who played Sarah was PHENOMENAL! I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. Watching how excited people who have played the game get over the music and wardrobe is so cute, lol.

I played the game, and damn did this show deliver. Honestly, THAT SCENE might hurt even more in the show than it did in the game. I was dreading it the whole time leading up to it, and then bawled when it happened. I'm not sure what's more heartbreaking. The Last of Us, or Arcane, cause they both hurt so much.

Ive watched about every reaction channel to the episode and you guys are by far my favourite. You don't overtalk, you talk about the relevant parts and information, its also great to see you both fanning out on all the references! I know i did!

I like that both Gabriel Luna and Craig Mazin played the game

It was an incredible experience in which I once more relived all those emotions: laughter, tears, and stress. It's one thing to play the game, and quite another to see the same story with real people. I can't express how grateful I am to the creators for delicately connecting all the plot line's dots and enriching them with extra details. I believed in the story, therefore emotions were true.

As soon as i saw who was playing Sarah i immediately had to look up if her mother was Thandie Newton as if it wasn't i thought this was her clone

God bless HBO. Phenomenal work from Craig mazin and Neil Druckmann

Just watched the first episode and I am spechless, the way them distinguished these zombies from "common flesh driven zombies" was incredible (scene of fungi coming out of old woman´s mouth, Im looking at ya!), the hell starting to get loose feeling was great, the radio in the end and the building was breath taking. Can´t wait for the next episodes! Absolutely looooooved my diva wearing a Playstation sweater for this moment ❤❤

I didn't play the game but I can confirm that the way they introduce us to the story and the main plot was on point. I didn't cry watching the dead of Sarah but when I watched some reactions and the scene a couple of times, I cried, maybe I was in shock. Anyway... I can't wait to see this story unfold and get to know Ellie and her relationship with Joel. If they deliver a relationship as strong as The Mandalorian with Grogu then I will consider it a success.

Amazing Episode, Amazing Reaction - Joel & Sarah's scene is so heartbreaking - both in-game and now in live action - overall, a phenomenal episode!

Loving this series so much already. Joel going into that berserker rage at the end...OMG! Yes!!!! I can't believe how perfectly they nailed it here. I'm just...yes. All of it. Yes. Thank you, guys!!! 🥰🥰🥰

This has been my favorite reaction to the first episode by far! You guys have such great presence and clearly care about the source material like I do, so this was wonderful to watch. Y'all keep being y'all :)

Oh guys it is amazing!! I was beside myself when it started and felt tense, emotional and worked up, how sad am I hahaha! 🫣 the bit with Sarah and the soldier... I could see just before it happened that look on your faces as we knew what was coming next. Great reaction guys, always with the great reactions, how cool are the coming weeks gonna be for us all with this to look forward to! 🥳

i've watched quite a few reactions to this so far but until this one, i never noticed Sarah's tear that streams down her face after Joel and Tommy pass up that stranded family begging for help, it's only there for a second at 15:14 before the camera cuts away

This show dropped out of nowhere.. Like it had a trailer and just dropped.. Had no idea this was gonna be a show and im so glad this happened!! I never had a ps4 so im intrigued!

Pedro and nico fucking killed it with sarahs death and it is not talked about enough just how amazing it was done. and pedro had a really hard time with that scene too

The way y’all got so hyped when they quoted the game!😂 I almost got emotional too 🥲

This episode was my introduction to The Last of Us. After watching 2 episodes I bought the game and started playing up to where the show was. I let the show be my first exposure to the story, catching up in-game after each episode. After the show ended (and my play-trough) I couldn't wait till season 2 to see the rest of the story so I bought and played part 2. I am now a huge Last of Us fan and I can't wait for season 2! Part 2 is one of my favorite game of all time.

I haven’t played it but i’ve watched several play throughs on youtube and it looks spot on . I’m excited to watch the journey

THE LAST OF US IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE MASTERPIECE GAME OF ALL TIME ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I haven't played the game, but I'm enjoying the show so far. It's all filmed in my home province too, so I'm looking forward to seeing local landmarks. Downtown had many wrecked/moldy cars parked along one street for a few months that was cool to see up close. Of course, always enjoy seeing your reactions!

Hope you’ll enjoy the landmarks of my home Edmonton and other parts of Alberta in the show! 👍 No CGI needed 😂 it’s barren and post-apocalyptic already

Cordeseps have a unique dna link to the species of its host. A strain that affects ants can’t infect other insects. Mercy should be fine

one of the best video game adaptations i've seen in a long ass time if ever just like i knew it would be

You two have become my new favorite steamers your explanations are spot on 💯

you getting emotional during the title sequence is so me hahaha

An amazing depiction of the video game and I love how they're throwing in curve balls to surprise previous gamers, like showing the truck but not having it cause the crash or seeing Robert but not having the conflict with him. The show has immense reviews/ratings from a single episode, it's definitely going to be the hit of 2023 TV IMO

They said the fungus was in the flower and grains, notice how they didnt have pancakes, cake, biscuits, cookies or any other flower or grain products. They dodged so many bullets.

I LOVE JOHN HANNAH. He did such a great job with such a great delivery that his lines stay with you through the entire run. Hes so so good.

I'm so glad you guys even checked out some of the extra content after the show. This episode is perfect! And the Sarah scene being pretty much 1 to 1 to the game is awesome. There's no other way to have that moment. But it almost beats the game because of the acting and the added context. Joel and Sarah got fleshed out a lot more before the outbreak, and when it happens, the helplessness in Joel's voice just makes it hurt 10 times worse. In a way I think it's very possible that scene almost beats the game scene. I was sobbing.

I've never played the game and I may have heard about it in passing, but this first episode was amazing. It's great story telling and even someone not familiar with it can be drawn in by the story and the characters. Feeling the connection to the characters through your reaction is so great. Even seeing the trailer for the season ahead and seeing the other actors that will come out in future episodes got me a little emotional. I think it was because as each one came on screen I could feel the familiarity of the character through your reactions. Thank you!

I love it! I've finally found you guys! I've watched a lot of channels with reactions on this episode, you are the best and cool. I've not played this game, but watched everything about it, and remastered it as well. Waiting for the PC version. Looking forward. Thnak you.

Ellie actress. Brilliant

I've never played the game and have just learned a few things about it recently. I really enjoyed your reaction and am excited to come back for more!

Love you guy's reactions! This is gonna be quite a ride!

Great capture and editing. Like you guys. This show is a great companion to the game. What a treat!

Also the scientist at the beginning was the acto who played Jonathan in The Mummy Series.

Just started watching yesterday and I bawled my eyes out 😩So excited for this wild ride 🥹

yup, this is how you make a faithful adaptation. things like teasing the car crash makes all the gamers happy but still wonder 'ok but whats actually going to happen now?' Chef's kiss.

Yeah, I had to watch it twice because the first time around I was a mix of “giddy child” and “Leo-DiCaprio-point-at-the-TV-meme”

I have massive game bias have to say cause tlou is special to me.. but i was also very aware of how the show would adapt etc and was open to it and tbh... I think the show did something incredible... it's utterly beautiful.... Harrowing af but stunning... These shows happen once in a lifetime.. I'm glad i was alive for this .. i really am.

A bit late, but I wanted to mention the scene with Nana, as described by the official podcast. She's depicted as being practically catatonic, unable to really hear or move on her own. The fungus, essentially, heals her, fixes her, while erasing everything that made her who she was. It's horrifying.

i cried the instant i saw sarah

there's a clicker at the very end looking down on them as they're running too

What a great start i loved it everything you've seen or had from the games still felt so similiar and emotional perfectly done👌 the beginning had convince me when scientist talking about how virus can multiply from small to bigger with bad consiquences and we just ignore them thats how it happend with these covid times

This show gets an Emmy or Oscar definetly guys✨

Fuckin love this so much!! It's like rewatching the game but for real with people who played it....or...EXACTLY like that 😅

thank you guys, you're both amazing

You should rent/watch "Prospect". It's a sci-fi movie with Pedro Pascal. It's the only project in which I saw him before, and I knew from that performance that he would be perfect.

Something I noticed in this show is that all the scenes and shots in the show are “mirrored” if you get what I mean. If you watch a side by side of the games, a lot of things are just switched to the other side. Like the barn burns on the right side of the road in the game but on the left side of the road in the show (that’s just one example).

why do i keep watching this reaction i know it ends in tears lol damn pedro and you two!

Good introduction.-Ernie Moore Jr.

this episode will bring me to many new reaction channels and your one of them love you guys reaction :) new sub

Loved your reaction (sub'd). I don't play any games, so I haven't played this one, but as a "TV show" it was really fantastic, and things were explained really well in the "world building". Production values and cinematography etc. were excellent. I'm hungry for more now............xx

It's the dude from Spartacus...... nice.

I definitely cried on the same part you guys did. I'm excited for my mom to watch it because I am curious to know if the story is easy to follow from the vantage point of someone who hasn't played the games.

great reaction - i thought i would love first timers reactions most.... but i am loving the reactions from fellow TLOU geeks like myself lol

I have not played the game but watched the whole play through from (TheRadbrad) and loved every bit of it. And when they released the show I was in shock on how good they made it.

You know its coming but it still breaks you watching Sarah die

Three good reactings by 1st minute.-Ernie Moore Jr.

@The Media Knights when I heard the Clicker/Infected roar at the end I knew 💩 was about to go down when they crossed over into the DZ (Dead Zone

Never played the game, but LOVED this series. It absolutely wrecked me.

They honestly casted the Perfect Joel :D

It seems like the musical cues are heavily inspired by the game too. When the plane crashes, just as the debris hits the truck it sounds like the death sound from the game. And when that fedra soldier noticed Joel Tess and Ellie it sounds like the game version of getting spotted. Thank God they got the original composer. I like the little music Easter eggs

This could possibly be my new favorite show. I loved the reaction ! This is next level.

Best reaction I’ve seen so far. You got a new subscriber

Great reaction video! Gosh it feels like a dream comes true, years of anticipation for the live action adaptation for my favourite game and they made it better than I expected. Idk about you guys, but I can die in peace once I've watched the whole season lol

I played the game. and I love your reaction

Such a great show

I'm right there with you. I've played the entire game and I'm really happy with the choices they've made. They've given a context for people who haven't played the game and expanded the world and also kept us people who have played the game surprised. They've done a great job at keeping certain cutscenes frame by frame and included important lines. I think the casting is perfect and they've kept character traits and development on point. I've loved this so far and I can't wait to see what they do next with the rest of the story.

Hey, I from Brazil! I Iove this vídeo, I love The Last Of Us and now I love you Guys!!!

Fun Fact, The soldier who shoots at Joel And Sarah is Craig Mazin. Little Cameo ;)

Funny. I watched you guys react to ep 2 first just bc I love that ep. I knew nothing of the vid game until after I saw the season air on HBO. I wasn't going to watch any more of you guys, but since you know the game and have given me new incite I'll definitely go on the journey with you. 😃

21:03 Guys that soldier who shot Joel and Sarah is Craig Mazin, he did a cameo and that makes this scene even more sad!

there is SOMETHING about flour and yeast being a carrier of the fungus which also explains the lack of spores as being the main spreader of the virus or whatever unlike in the game

love y'all vids

Never played the game and that was one of the best pilots I've ever watched.

I like a lot of the changes they did with the show, in my opinion it made even better the games and expanded in a lot of stuff. For example, the spores are not in this and they went with the original concept art before the spores called “the tendrils”. Realistically all the spores would be in the air so everyone would be dead, not just in some zones and anyway when they get out of the zones with the spores when they have their mask on in the games they would still have spores in the hair and clothes, it would be impossible so I love it this way more because it’s more realistic and TLOU is very grounded and realistic, so it makes more sense like this and also the tendrils makes the infected EVEN MORE creepy and show how all of them are connected so I love it. And how the infection works. In the game it takes like two days to turn, in here like they showed in the scene with the little boy in the sign if you get bitten in the leg being the farthest part to the brain it takes a lot of hours or a day so it makes more sense, then torso, shoulders and hands, it takes some hours and then head it takes minutes and that makes it even more scarier, I love it. Like even smaller change like the guy that shot Sarah saying “I’m sorry” is an improvement. It’s shows he is just following orders and didn’t wanted to do it. Amazing. I love all the new scenes we got, everyone in the cast is perfect, and the scene after Joel, Ellie and Tess gets caught I love how Joel had PTSD, it made the scene more emotional and I liked it better in the show. Amazing pilot episode! 10/10 I love it.

Very unsettling that the ant fungus is a real thing.

Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass and The Fall of the House of Usher all fantastic series by Mike Flanagan

earned sub just because start right into the reaction

Pedro sounds like Captain Malcolm Reynolds (FireFly)

Good reaction to this episode one of the best that I have seen on KZfaq

I jump around to every youtube comment section just to gush over that intro haha. It's seriously the best opener to a show in television history. Really is for my money. The only other prologue that holds a candle to it is in the movie-sphere, and it is the LOTR prologue to the trilogy.

Tommy explained that he was breaking up a fight. I imagine he ran into an infected person at the bar.

Ham radio operators do this sort of coms during disasters so it makes sence

Ellie may not look the same as ellie in the game, but theres a reason for that. In fact she looks more like ellie than ellie does in the game, later episode you see Ellies mom, whos played by the voice actress that voices ellie. Bella Ramsay looks like a younger version of the voice actress, which is why they chose her.

A 64-year-old non-gamer of any kind who never returned after the 1st ep of The Walking Dead - I'm absolutely HOOKED - this show is fantastic!

Loved watching u guys more than most. Just a side note lot of people Ask why do the infected act like that but remember their brain is being flooded with hallucigenz so they are tripping balls lol

the trailer for the next episodes made me cry lol looks like it will get better and better

Played both parts of The Last of Us (loved both of them, despite people hating on the 2nd part). When I heard they're making an adaptation, I was slightly excited but didn't want to hype myself up too much. I've been waiting patiently, trying to avoid any articles about the series. I was a bit worried given the fact that game adaptations into television don't do well (except Arcane, for real now), but realizing that Neil is one of the directors/showrunners calmed me down a lot, he's a fucking genius. Then the other big thing happened, Craig as the other director, that's when my hype went up quite a lot. Felt like the time went by pretty fast and I can't believe we're here, witnessing this masterpiece. Now I'm watching this with 3 other friends that didn't play the games and I know for a fact that they will play it when it comes to PC, after watching the series. Everything about the first episode was spot on, but I want to emphasize on the general atmosphere, how every building, every interior, every street and landscape really feels and looks like the game. They did a fucking great job and I was so emotional watching the first episode.. When you're lost in the darkness...
