The Last of Us

I continued watching beyond my wife giving up 20 minutes in and, boy, am I glad that I did!

This is an excellent series, blessed with 2 leading actors who make us believe in their relationship and in the difficulties that they face. You care about them and so you are gripped by their story.

But the series takes its time to give us many other characters. Every one of them is "real", even those whose role is to stand in the way of our heroes.

Also, the production standards are very high. This is especially noticeable when blighted urban landscapes fill the screen.

Now - I am not a fan of zombie movies, but that element of the story pales into insignificance amidst so much excellence.
