When I first saw them on set in full costume, I was like: "Hooooooly shit! It's Joel & Ellie! ????!"

The @HBO adaptation of @Naughty_Dog's The Last of Us is full steam ahead!

Can't wait to show you more (from all of our projects!) Happy #TLoUDay!!! pic.twitter.com/trq9N340FW

Looks great.

I love that Sony is pushing games into movies and tv shows so much.

Heheh. Its definitely exceeding my expectations since its apple. I've never read the books though so i don't know how faithful they are so far.

Oh that'll be great. 6 months is enough for me to watch mythic quest, for all mankind, and foundation. Then I can end it and never give them money.

The Last of Us - Official Website for the HBO Series

My wife and I just finished watching Psych, which is a great show.

My wife has been watching The Manifest generally without me. Which is good...

As I said before, I think the premise is interesting, but most of everything else is so bad.

The writing isn't completely terrible, but large notable chunks of it are.

Spoiler for A specific scene in Season 3, not important for the plot:

A lot of the intense scenes are forced. Like the tension isn't there, because there's actually tension. The tension is there because the actors are being overly dramatic. (I blame the director, because it's pretty much all the actors.)

To give an example, in that scene above, one of the actor picks up a pencil and paper and tells the other person to draw something. But it's done like he's trying to run a race.

There's so many little things about the show that put me off.

I kinda enjoyed it. Was way too stupid and predictable at times though.
