Jump Aboard the Hype Train The last if us is good, but it's far from what the inflated rating would have you believe.
The acting is solid, the story is okay. But I cant see were the 9.1 rating is coming from.
The first episode was good, the second episode meandered away from the main story to show us a love story, which basically didn't progress the story. Now episode four does the same thing, gives us a flashback, another love story that doesn't move things on.
Is this an attempt to flesh things out? To me it didn't add to the story. First we have two gay men, now to gay women. While I im not of the fan of the expression "woke", I could see how people could make that accusation.
Zack Synder beautifully depicts a sense or panic and despair in Dawn Of The Dead, especially in it's opening scenes. I hoped The Last Of Us would hit the same note, but it hasn't matched it.
To quote Elivs, "a little more action" would help this series. Please don't let it turn into what The Walking Dead became after season 1.
