The gamers of the world are well versed in the premise of “The Last Of Us” which is apparently about surviving a post-Apocalyptic scenario and making it safely from point A to point B and while it sounds interesting, I haven’t played and don’t really consider myself the biggest gamer out there. I’d love to do more of that but there is only so much time in the day. The games popularity have led it to becoming a series that will be broadcast on the HBO Max streaming service. I’ve embedded the trailer, some premise and casting along with promotional art down below so let’s get on with the show. Presenting the first Official Trailer for “The Last Of Us”. Enjoy.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Since I am not the biggest gamer out there, the only thing I know about this game is the name itself. However, with that being said I know a lot of people who were diehards with “The Last Of Us” and were very much looking forward to this series. I’m a fan of Paschal and Luna so won’t mind watching it but will probably do that after a few episodes had run. Now since I am a bit green on this whole franchise I will close up now and ask what you out there in the readership think about it. Are you excited for this series? Chime in down below and let me know what you think and if you are considering checking it out when it premieres next month on the HBO Max service. See you next time, I hope your holiday season will be a good one as we get underway with those things. Ciao.
