I wonder what actress is eventually going to sign on for the landmine of a role that is Abby eventually lol

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I still can't find confirmation as to if this is an HBO MAX exclusive or if it's also going to be on regular HBO

That will be the moment ratings PLUMMET walking dead style after Glenn

The filmmakers should just ignore the second game and write a better continuation of the story.

Correct

If what you did pisses off half your fanbase you did something wrong

The Last of Us: Season 1 Review - IGN

HBO's The Last of Us is a stunning adaptation that should thrill newcomers and enrich those already familiar with Joel and Ellie's journey alike.

Happy this is getting rave reviews. I really had no doubts when I heard HBO was involved. They mostly put out good television out. I’m also a Pedro Pascal stan, so this is awesome

84/100 on Metacritic. Getting hyped.

Huge fan of Pedro Pascal, really like him in GOT, and then his run in Narco's made him one of my favorites. I'm usually horrified at the thought of video games (even ones I love) being turned into TV or Movies, since a lot of games are heavily derivative of successful TV shows or movies, so it's a loop. But, I had hope for this as HBO rarely fails with their truly big budget/prestige shows. HBO in the late 90's/early 2000's essentially shaped the prestige television (although you could go further back and argue Twin Peaks also contributed largely).

Watchmen was a bit of a dud as far as pop culture impact. Watched by plenty but seems largely forgotten and relegated to a limited series with a nebulous possibility of a second installment.

I believe the show runner didn't want to do more, and I feel most of the iconic HBO shows really built up their viewership over-time, hell The Wire wasn't properly recognized until after it finished (I discovered it between season 3 and 4, and remember the fan campaigns to keep it).

So happy to see the amazing reviews. I expected it, but nice to see my expectations confirmed. Premiere can't come quick enough!

Also, man am I happy it was HBO who picked this show up and not Netflix or someone else.

The truth?

Hopefully the love for this coming from the fans (Game fan base and main stream fans) spurs a re-thinking (Re-start) of the Halo series. The show runners for that series need to be tarred and feathered. Pretty certain they used a fan fic harlequin romance novel as reference material when they were making the show.

 

[GKJ]

I feel like Pedro Pascal looks too much like Jeremy Renner to the point where I think some of the people watching will because they think it is.

Halo missed its window for an adaptation at the height of its popularity, which was perfectly set up with the movie directed by Blomkamp and produced by Peter Jackson (became District 9). I think the time has passed where a good adaptation can be made.

Can't wait for Bella Ramsey to absolutely crush her role, leaving so many people with egg on their faces.

I thought she was great in GOT and Catherine called Birdy

I've never made that connection...I don't see it.

But I've seen Pedro Pascal in many roles so that's probably why.

Narcos, Game of Thrones and The Mandalorian are three of my favorites.

And I did just watch The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent this past weekend
