The live action adaptation of one of the most critically acclaimed video games of the past decade gets a trailer. With it starring Pedro Pascal and shown on HBO, then I guess there's a pretty good chance that it'll live up to the hype.

Episode one
HBO just don't miss. This was a fantastic first episode and it's probably already the best adaptation of a video game. It wouldn't surprise me if it wins multiple Emmys. The way they bring you into this world is beautifully paced. Pascal, Luna, Ramsey and Parker's performances are captivating. The direction and cinematography is quietly haunting. The screenplay is emotionally suspenseful.

Episode two
It starts with a pre-credits prologue prior to to the decay of society in a different location across the globe and the advice given by a professional who they became aware of what was going to happen. The story then picks up from last week's ending with Joel, Tara and Ellie outside of the quarantine zone and the multitude of horrors that they need to evade.

Episode three
We pick up with Joel and Ellie after the events of last week as they continue their journey. But we spend the majority of the episode with two new characters and their experiences from the start of the outbreak up until the present.

Episode four
Joel and Ellie continue their journey and increase their bond by sharing knowledge and sharing their humour. They encounter an obstacle that causes them to detour into a precarious situation.

im enjoying this and i know its based off the game, but i hope they stick to the game story, and not drift off forever like The Walking Dead, cause i really lost interest when it felt like it was going no where

Episode five
We get a bit of a backstory on the individuals that discovered Joel and Ellie. And also the events that led to the current status quo in Kansas City. Once one hurdle is overcome, another comes barrelling through, then another swarms the situation. Once everything seems to calm down, tragedy strikes again.

Episode six
In the cold wilderness Joel and Ellie continue their journey and come into contact with a familiar face in an environment that seems to have regained some type of normalcy. But as the story continues to unfold a new direction needs to be taken but it comes at a cost.

Episode seven
Ellie has to try and help Joel in the present. But we get to delve into her past, and have a look at her life before this journey started. The environment that Ellie grew up in wasn't the best and her future didn't look that bright. But she did have someone close to her that helped her deal with it.
