Hopefully it's better than a certain other HBO Show that I've watched recently.

i got high expectations for this, mainly because i know the game through and through


and something already teased

Spoiler:

they are having couple of changes from the game, no Pittsburgh but some other city Kansas City with Henry & Sam

and also a original character named Perry whom is played by the one who is the voice of Tommy in the game, Jeffrey Pierce, same goes for Florence & Marlon a married couple, also original characters, as well as Kathleen another original character, leader of revolutionary movement in Kansas City

a bigger role for the character Maria apparently than in the game

Feel good series was so 2015.

But seriously I agree with you, most TV Shows nowadays are so glum, especially if they're American made.

I wonder how much they'll butcher the Video Game.

It is Hollywood after all.

arista 16-01-2023 04:16 PM
Before the Credits start
that go to TV studio in USA
back in 1968.

I recorded the 2AM broadcast

episode 1

OMG this is amazing :clap1: :clap1: :clap1: :clap1:

Spoiler:

some scenes perfect similarities to the video game, quite a lot of new scene content too, Pedro as for ep1 is a perfect casting for Joel, Gabriel so far what i've seen from him as Tommy, also a very good casting, he played his first scenes perfectly well

the Tess actress looks older than in the video game but somehow i don't quite dislike that, she and Joel fit better together here in this series than they already did in the video game

also nice we have extra dialogue for some of the FEDRA soldiers in Boston QZ compared to the game



cannot wait for next weeks episode 2 :D

Nicky91 17-01-2023 07:17 AM

I wonder if they're going to diverge from the plotline of TLOU2? Fans will lose their **** if it goers the same way :laugh:. Although, there's a fairly large time jump (5+ years I think) between the two games, so in theory they could have several seasons of "their own thing" between the end of TLOU1 and beginning of TLOU2 and still eventually "go there".

For those who already know the plot of TLOU2 or don't care about potential major spoilers:
Spoiler:

Joel gets his brains bashed in by the daughter of someone he killed in the first game, within the first hour or so of the 2nd game :joker: ... can you imagine the reaction of new TV show fans who haven't played the games? Daddy Joel! It would be like the Negan/Glenn scene all over again.

A lot of people hate on the game purely because of that. And because ...half way through the game they switch perspectives and you spend a huge chunk of time playing as his killer (Abby). I personally think she's a great character and the plotline is a good commentary on there being no real "good guys or bad guys" only different perspectives, and on the ultimate futility of cycles of revenge, but boy oh boy did some people hate the fact that Joel died (and Abby for killing him... and the voice actress who played Abby because people are stupid and misogynistic).

If a muscular lady in her early 20's shows up with a golf club in the HBO ... :laugh: ...there's going to be fireworks.

In fact... thinking about it... the "basement scene" is far MORE brutal than the infamous Negan baseball bat scene.

I don't know the plot really but I know certain things because my son played it and liked to talk about it :laugh:

I know in the game Eddie Vedders song Future Days featured, Luke learned to play it on the guitar and all but he's said it won't be in the TV Show because they changed the time line in the show to 2003 instead of 2013 like the game so the song wouldn't have been released yet which is a bit disappointing

Anyway, I'm enjoying the show so far, the 2nd episode was really good, the fungus Zombies are gruesome

Cherie 24-01-2023 09:45 AM
Its too similar to the Walking Dead for my liking will stick with another ep though

Do you think it's similar? I don't really other than that it's about Zombies. Even the Zombies though are a lot different to the walking dead Zombies with the fungus element (which adds an extra layer of grossness plus the way they can call each other under the ground etc) The civilization is pretty different too plus the fact that Ellie is immune

arista 24-01-2023 10:17 AM
I do not.


It is as future Virus
Tracked way back


Not the Walking Dead

Also a Young Girl
that has the secret to survive

Yeah agree, I think it's a really fresh spin on a genre that can get very samey actually

Yeah I suppose the storyline is different but the filler is the same, bitten by horrendous looking things and fighting them off :laugh:

Well yeah but it is a Zombie show, that's like saying all Vampire shows/films are the same because the Vampires suck blood in all of them :smug:

True Blood was excellent alright, my favourite of the Vampire TV shows. I lost interest in Vampire Diaries after a few seasons as well. The Twilight Saga got more awful with each installment I thought

nothing similar to the walking dead at all


also these clickers are way creepier than walkers :worry:

i struggled big time with those in the game, they are blind but their hearing is extra extra good


and then you also have bigger ones
Spoiler:

Bloaters, which spit fungus spores from its mouth :yuk:




also the cycle of the infected begins with a simple ''runner'' then ''clicker'' and those who get really old ''bloater''



Pedro is a great choice for Joel, wow :clap1:
