The Last of Us: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Ben Dowell Times (UK) While the special effects are undeniably top-notch, this nine-part series was a hit that reached way beyond its gaming fanbase in large part due to the crisp, emotional storytelling, particularly with its two-handers. Mar 18, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Phillip Maciak The New Republic Episode by episode, there’s a lot to recommend The Last of Us. Feb 24, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Nina Metz Chicago Tribune I like that The Last of Us isn’t consumed with telling stories about the powerful but instead is focused on regular people who are just trying to make it through this mess. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 22, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Nicolás Medina Montevideo Portal / Latido Beat By not being able to emulate the interactive capacity between the series audience and gamers, The Last of Us sought to generate a phenomenon and a series of transmedia experiences that keep viewers engaged to the show. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 8/10 Dec 19, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu However good the music (Gustavo Santaolalla, who also scored the game), sets, and cinematography are — and they are exceptional — the cast and writing are even better Aug 27, 2023 Full Review The Last of Us: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Alison de Souza The Straits Times (Singapore) You do not have to be a fan of the game, or zombies, to appreciate this taut yet tender thriller, which is really about what happens when the veneer of civilization peels away. Rated: 4/5 Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Rafael C Faithful adaptation! With great editing and performances, however, it loses some momentum with accelerated developments and others slower throughout the season's storyline and in some episodes. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Mark O Thoroughly enjoyed it. Better than the walking dead in my opinion Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Audience Member One of the best game adaptation series ever, along with Twisted Metal and Fallout. Can't wait for season 2 and 3. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Juan R Excelente adaptación, personajes y actuaciones muy solidas. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review Audience Member One of the best video game adaptations. It is entertaining and the flow of the show is engaging. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review John S I've played the last of us 16 times since the day it came out, I am a mega fan of this series, and while the show was good, it would have been better if they stayed closer to the games and told a tighter story. It's a good TV show and they clearly tried their best, but this is just okay. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
