The video game adaptation we have all been waiting for has finally landed! The Last of Us aired its pilot episode on Monday, and now we're eagerly anticipating the remainder of the series.
HBO's The Last of Usis set to retell the story of Joel and Ellie. Joel is a smuggler who is tasked with escorting a teenage girl across a post-apocalyptic United States after a disease has virtually destroyed mankind.
The Naughty Dog 2013 video game is incredibly popular, so the pressure is on for the series to get it right.
The series has certainly been hyped up over the last few months, and there's no denying that it's got a great cast at its core. So let's do a comparison of the cast we met in the first episode vs. their video game counterparts, shall we?
I'll be updating this post as more characters are introduced in the show weekly!
