The Last of Us: Infected (2023)
This is how you adapt a video game
I'm not gonna lie I was already pretty hyped for this show when I heard Craig Mazin is the showrunner, with Neil Druckmann involved, yet it somehow keeps exceeding my expectations.
The scene with the clickers was intense and so amazingly done, perfectly captured the feel of encountering them in the game. They also look really great, you can definitely see the enormous budget, not just on clickers but the overall environment too.
I also really enjoyed the pre-outbreak scene we had in the beginning, and hopefully they keep adding such scenes in the next episodes as well.
This is how you properly adapt a video game, it's not hard, you just need a showrunner who is actually a fan of the source material and knows what he's doing, bonus points for involving the original creator too.
I can't express how grateful I am for HBO for making this happen and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.
