I guess it was about a month ago that we last touched upon this topic which shared the Official Trailer for the new HBO Max series “The Last Of Us”. If you missed that trailer and need a little bit of visual background you should click HERE to be up to speed. The series is based on a mega-popular survival game that I am sadly only familiar with in name alone. Down below I’ve shared the Official Release poster and a reminder of the premise and cast. Are you excited for this series?

PiercingMetal Thoughts: As I’ve mentioned my really being unfamiliar with the source material, I am still planning on watching this since I like a few of the actors involved in it all. However with that being said I will most likely not be watching straight away and will wait until there are a few episodes to binge in one sitting. Right now I am working through about 65% capacity on my DVR and would like to get some of those shows watched and cleared off the device. It looks to be an interesting looking show if I can make an assessment from the trailer and as I wrap this up I wonder what you out there in the readership think about it all. Will you be watching this one or shall you be taking a pass? Chime in down below in the comments section so we know where you are all at. See you next time, I hope that your New Year 2023 is off to a good start. Ciao.
