The Last of Us - series - You Boys in Green Forum

Watched the last episode and f**k me Joel is a selfish bastard!

Great series though and I'd probably give it a 9/10. Looking forward to season 2.

Highly recommend Chernobyl for anyone looking for something else directed by the same guy. Only 5 episodes.

I really enjoyed last night's finale especially the Rambo scene Embarrassed

. I'll watch the 2nd series but it meandered off into nonsense territory a bit too much for my liking.

The show is over hyped but enjoyable

It would damage this forums' reputation

Tried watching the 1st episode of this. Saw a possessed granny running around and thought this aint for me and turned off.

Pied Piper to: Baldrick, Brendan 88, 9Fingers, Borussia and more...

Decent series started very well and petered off. 7.5/10

I watched it. The episode with the gay fellas was really good. Not much else.

What was by far the best episode LOL

It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Episode 7 in shopping mall was a big pile of sh*t. Basically just one big woke episode and seems that is the only reason why it was put in. But then a friend said it was a DLC of the game?

Anyway, good series at times but like my example other things were a bit boring and I question what was the point but then again I didn't play the game so not sure if it was just being true to the game.

The episode with the gay guys while also a bit random and woke, was actually a very good standalone story well played.

and did that make you take a second and wonder why you just automatically thought a story like that is woke and that was it's only purpose? like do you always see gay people on screen and just think "woke"? not everything is a f**king culture war man sometimes stories are just stories and sometimes they're bad and sometimes they're good LOL

When random standalone episodes are inserted into the overall story that have a predominant focus on a specific subject, e.g. the character is gay, then for me a lot of the time its just an effort to appeal to that particular audience. Maybe woke is a bad word to use but tv shows and movies being made to try and cater for all people and creating characters or scenes for the sake of it that ends up maybe taking away from the show/movie that kind of gets on my nerves. If it all fits together then cool but often just feels that the sole purpose is to push the agenda of the person's race/sexuality to appeal to a particular audience versus advancing the story.

Like if that episode 7 focused purely on the character and her relationship with another character and maybe you could say it was cute but the whole episode focused on it was just too much, I'd have much preferred to see more of her back story and interactions in school and have her sexuality just a small piece of it.

Episode 7 was a back story which was a DLC from the game. Very well done and gives background on Ellie, where she came from and the loss/trauma she has gone through

Episode 3 was a backstory from the game that was changed and expanded upon, to very good effect in my opinion. Neither of them are woke or attempts to appeal to any particular audience, in my opinion.

Really enjoyed the series and looking forward to the second one

They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car...

Considering that episode was where she was initially infected and it tied in with her birth how she ended up in the military school, I thought it was fine.

I'll tell you what is ridiculous though. You've been out in the wilderness for months in the cold and you finally meet your brother and he lives in an idyllic encampment with food, showers, beds and you stay for one night. f**k RIGHT OFF WITH THAT BULLsh*t
