Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGustavo Santaolalla, the music composer for video games The Last of Us (2013) and The Last of Us: Part II (2020), was brought on to compose the series soundtrack.
- GoofsAs with the game, the series' depiction of the cordyceps fungus has some inaccuracies. Overall, the probability of a fungus of this type evolving the need and capability to infect humans is astronomically small. Human brains contain hundreds of thousands of times more neurons compared to an ant brain, and it would be an extraordinarily rapid evolution for cordyceps to gain the ability to infect and take over one. Even if it did, fungal infections are slow, taking a matter of weeks, and nothing like the near-instant transformation depicted; new filaments take some time and energy to produce. All 600 species of Cordyceps which seize control of insect bodies do so to force the host into a humid place where the fungus can feed on the body and spread its spores, so if an evolved cordyceps infected a human and over the course of many days transformed the body into a shambling host, the fungus' end goal would be much the same. Lastly, while insects do gain some level of aggression when infected, they normally do not attack other insects.
- Crazy creditsThe opening titles display a Cordyceps fungus taking on the forms of various landscapes, and finally the forms of Joel and Ellie.
Featured review
Totally worth it!
To start I have never played the video game this series is based in. With that being said this show got me hooked right away. The story line and how they created the whole world was done perfectly. The emotion in the acting was very believable and got me into what was going on even more.
I watched the whole first season in two nights and within seconds of the last episode ending I was on google looking when season two would be here. Can't wait to see what they bring to this world. As someone who hasn't played the game like I said it left me in a cliff hanger and honestly think that makes it better then knowing what possibly is to come.
