Many people (myself included) are experiencing tv apocalypse fatigue.
The Walking Deadwas a lame horse at 11 seasons that should have been put down after 7.
In any given season there were half a dozen episodes like this thatTWDhammered over and over.
HBO
It made the once fun show a chore.
However,HBOseldom makes mistakes in their Sunday night show slots and once again, made me a believer.
Dont read anymore if you havent watched the show.
Or go ahead if you want to ruin it for yourself.
Its more of an episode one spoiler and overall synopsis than a play by play recap.
The main character Joel Miller is played by supernova hot actorPedro Pascal.
You already know him fromGame of Thrones,Narcos, and theMandalorian.
Hes absolutely everywhere right now.
Hes joined byGame of ThronescostarBella Ramsey.
Joel dabbles in rebellion and knows how to get things that benefit him.
The rub is this: the special lab she needs to get to, is in Colorado.
Vehicles are scarce and cadre of wildly diverse Mushroom brained zombies are prolific.
After the initial setup, whatThe Last of Usthen does is give us mans story.
Instead of constant zombie evasion and jump scares, we encounter a different brand of human in every episode.
Sure there are zombies.
Bella Ramseyis never not annoying as Ellie until the last few episodes.
There is a definitive artistic and budgetary difference between anHBOzombie series and any other networks.
Binge season 1 now and see what all the fuss is about.
