I'm really enjoying The Last of Us. Has started deviating from the game just enough to keep me on my toes.

Dropping my old dog off for dental surgery today. Cue ball of nerves for the entire day!

That recent episode of Last of Us made me cry. I had no idea what I was getting into when I started that episode.

That was such a great episode. Some of the best TV I've seen in a while.

I've seen so many bad tv adaptations of things I love that I honestly didn't have super high hopes for the show. That third episode blew me away, just some of the best television writing and directing I've seen in a very long time.

I thought I knew what was going to happen after the first two episodes were so close to the game.... instead got punched RIGHT in the feelings.

I haven't seen Sunday's episode yet but was aware of what was likely going to happen based on knowing how the game went

In the game, you only encounter a specific character in a few seconds of screen time and a few comments. Once they announced they cast someone for the series, and that the character is mentioned in advance in Episode 2 (which didn't happen in the game), I had a feeling they were going to add a good bit of backstory to make the outcome far more impactful.

My husband and I usually watch this on Mondays after dinner so we can have a good amount of eye bleach after to cheer us up. Yesterday was a long work day for him so we put it off to tonight, but he's going to trivia night tonight and will get home later. So, tomorrow night, maybe.

My boyfriend and I have been meaning to start watching it as we've both played the game. Apparently the game is also coming to PC in late March so I will be 100% replaying it since I don't have a ps4 anymore

They're about to make a killing selling that game to folks new to the story, I bet. Show is extremely high quality

Oh they're gonna make so much money because a lot of folks also have moved to PC gaming, but I'm sure lots of people started watching and didn't realize it was based on a video game. They can take my money when it releases online, can't wait to sob again over it

my wife, when watching the show: "Is this in the game?" "Did that happen in the game?" etc....

She is not a gamer. Glad that you guys have a hobby in common.

Same here except maybe I get too excited about pointing out game stuff. My spouse plays games but doesn't like long-form, story style rpg's so it's new to him.

My boyfriend and I have both played so I'm sure when we watch it we're going to be pointing things out together lol

I really enjoy the love story and not the relationship Bill and Frank had in the game.

Good luck to your doggo!

Thanks! Before they know it, too. They get to have a long nap and I get to sweat.
