My only gripe with that scene was that the uptight scientist and talkshow host would’ve jeered at the other guy for suggesting “if the planet gets a little warmer.” The prevailing popular theory of the day was that we were about to have another ice age. That was backed by the data showing that our temperatures were trending downwards, with the era of Imperial Rome being generally hotter than our era. And the Bronze Age having heights well above Rome, despite being close to the last Ice Age. Not to mention, everyone in that talkshow studio would’ve had memories of fierce blizzards, and there’s a good chance that the more uptight scientist would be arguing *for* the development of climate-warming processes (if not outright investing in them). It’s a small complaint, but the way everyone in the room just shits their pants was the one part of the episode that showed the age of the writing team. And it showed an adherence to the least sound era of data since the middle ages, because the scientists who are actually collating climate data and building ethically-sound models (the ones who only occasionally do interviews, because they’re not seeking celebrity or ultra-wealthy backers) have something important to point out: The world was hotter during the viking era than it is now. Melting ice is revealing Nordic farms buried in Greenland. The discoveries of this *contradicted* the climate consensus from the 50s-70s, and now goes ignored by *popular, cash-motivated* climatologists of today. All this to say... The guy suggesting “oh, we’re fucked if the world warms up, because fungi,” would’ve been mocked. Then he might’ve quipped about closed-minded peers. The live audience would scratch their heads and laugh it off, especially the well-read.
Troy Bakers acting when Sarah dies is flawless, but I was genuinely impressed with how close Pedro Pascal was. Glad to know he’s taking this role serious.
SPOILER ALERT: SAME! The scene with them in the town and your expectation of them getting by another car while driving through the chaos only for them to avoid it and instead be hit by debris from a plane crash was really good. Expectations subverted while still maintaining the original story.
The only thing I needed - like really needed - that was missing was Sarah softly saying, “we shoulda helped them” when Joel had Tommy drive past the stranded family; I think that kind of innocent compassion in Joel dies with Sarah

Notice how the neighbor is feeding his elderly mother biscuits and offers some to Joel. Joel tells his neighbor that he is on an Atkins diet. Also notice that while eating breakfast Joel, Sara and Tommy only have bacon and eggs, no toast. Later on Sara visits the neighbor after school, where she's asked her to help in baking cookies. Sara leaves shortly after the cookies were baked, thus didn't eat any. So ya, I think they made that subtle change to the television version which makes it more cool. Now we know the origins on where the infections began.
I saw this is a video elsewhere too. Some other little things that pointed out how they barely missed out on the infection, is they ran out of pancake mix that morning for breakfast. And on top of that they would’ve eaten cake that night for Joel’s birthday had Joel remembered to bring it home
@@jhoops-i9m ah yes, very good observation. Awesome that you caught onto that. Also notice how the neighbor told Joel that he had to bring his mother to the hospital. Apparently she ended up being prescribed antibiotics. Remember at the beginning of the episode you had the scientists back in 68 talking about viral infections. One of them mentions these fungal infections and makes a comparison to penicillin. So maybe there is a correlation between eating the flour that is tainted with the fungus cordyceps and the penicillin. Maybe the penicillin triggers/feeds the cordyceps. it would only take a dozen people infected with the fungus, while on penicillin, to begin the domino effect. It's a simple concept but I love how they added that into the show and franchise as a whole.
@@Yordlehammer I worked on the series and one of my coworkers joined the studio from the production side he’s the one who added it in pre vis. When we saw the trailer with that shot we were like “damn I guess they took it out for the final cut” it was super cool to see they actually did keep it in
Gabriel Luna actually went ahead brought a PS and played both of the games. You can feel his performance is so inspired by the games. He nailed Tommy's vocal mannerisms.
I loved the opening episode … The best opening episode I've ever seen. It was the little subtle things that caused the tension rise for the virus starting to begin, Like subtle coughs in the classroom & Grandma scene. Can't wait for the next episode.
Should be a prequel the last of us would be so good if they explored the first few days to weeks of the apocalypse starting from the outbreak ending 3 weeks into it in the perspective of different characters of course
I mean that 20 years could be how they show the firefly uprising, tommy leaving joel for them, maybe he’s smuggled other people and lost them? Could be sick
Well Ellie has grown up in a harsh reality. Sarah knew her dad as her dad, and then had reality completely flipped on is head and she's watching her dad flip out and beat the shit out of people for the first time she has seen. For a kid that's a lot of change in a matter of minutes.
The Adlers grandmother wasn’t infected because she went to the hospital (future show spoilers ahead); Joel mentions to Ellie that the early infection spread through tainted yeast [edit: flour, not yeast]. The Adlers were feeding the grandmother bread/biscuits earlier in the episode, and even offered it to Sarah.
Makes sense! Far more sense than the hospital angle. That didnt add up for me. But then it also adds a new wrinkle with how did the fungus spread and so quickly, all at once. Like we hear about it happening in Jakarta. Then we see the arabic shopkeepers in on the event. And we see Sarahs classmate with the jitters. Not sure there really is a plausible explanation for how it could actually spread globally, all at the same time, everywhere at once though.
I think in this series, they're saying it's grain/wheat rather than yeast; they mentioned ergot in the beginning, which has roots in a theory that the Salem with trials were fueled by paranoid delusions/hallucinations caused by ergot tainted grain. Also, the only other person we visually see expressing symptoms is a young boy wearing a medical alert bracelet. What does he and the grandma have in common? They might both have weakened immune systems which opens them up go infection (especially fungus infections which are much less common in healthy individuals). The only explanation for Jakarta I can think of is either a) because that's where cordyceps millitaris (the specific fungus that infects the ants and insects) is native to or b) they had the tainted grain first/shipped it out (I'll be honest, I know more about medicine and mycology than I do Indonesia and their farming practices)
I honestly am very grateful my favorite videogame had one of the best opening episodes for a tv show adaptation, its so damn good. My only gripe is that some of the dialogue feels too rushed, however it makes sense that Joel would be very short with Ellie anyway given their situation. Never thought it would be as great as it was.
Less is more. Its like a comic book movie adaptation for Superman, Spiderman, Batman, etc. We know Uncle Ben died, we know the Waynes got mugged, we know you're from Krypton. Heard the story a million times already, just get to the point in your "new retelling" of the iconic character. Its a zombie apocalypse. We get it. Less is more so that you can actually go over things the audience needs to know within the time you have to tell a story. We really dont need a 10 minute recap of what we already know as an audience. Thats why they did what they did in some parts and, frankly, its the right call.
I like how they follow Joel's daughter throughout the episode as the main character, getting you invested and attached to this cute nice little girl, only to have her murdered. That was good writing.
They did an incredible job with making you feel connected to Sarah and Joel’s father-daughter relationship. In just one episode they managed to make you feel strong emotions when a character that we just met, dies. Outstanding acting from tommy, Joel and Sarah
Honestly I really liked it. I don't mind the changes either. It's nice to see the story told in a different way. We'll still always have the games in the end anyways. But I am very impressed.
@@freedomofspeech3792 Pascal's woke bs in and out of film ALWAYS annoys me. They could have literally found ANYONE that looked like Joel who could have nailed that role just like with the Mandalorean. He is not perfect or necessary for either role and he isn't this "revolutionary actor"...
This was a great first episode. Glad they actually expanded things a bit with Sarah and gave her more screen time. Pedro Pascal is great as Joel. Bella Ramsey actually sounds just like Ellie. I also dug the opening set in the 1960s. They really went all out with just the first episode alone. Can't wait to see what they have in store for the rest of the season.
The camera angles in the scene where they were trying to escape the city was cinematic genius, and replacing the car crash with a PLANEE CRASHING is an incredible change
The fact that troy baker, Ashley Johnson plus two others will be on the show but play other characters is cool. I think Ashley is going to play ellie's mom.
She’s not, shes said to be playing a pregnant woman that Joel and ellie find on their journey and is forced to give birth in a very heated part of the show. Troy baker will be playing a raider or a member of a survivors group of some sort
Watched it the moment 9’oclock hit. I can’t wait for everyone to turn around and say how much they were waiting for this show and didn’t make negative comments about the cast lol
No matter the cast, it was always going to get some pushback. I was surprised at how quickly I embraced these actors though. Ellie was the toughest, but immediately I melted when she starts cussing. That’s the Ellie I know and love.
LOVE the adaptation so far. Pedro seems invested in the role & the way he screamed "Tommy help me" ripped me heart out. Very excited to see where this goes.
I'm so glad they've maintained Joel's dead inside secondary character to Ellie's sarcastic snarky self. Pedro Pascal is a perfect babysitter actor in both this and Mandalorian.
@@SkemeKOS origins of Sarah doesn’t change the story one bit … she literally dies immediately 💀, it’s only wrong if they changed the race of a major character with a lot of screentime

99% sure this is going to be crap. 2 minutes in they’re pushing global warming nonsense. 5 minutes in they go woke and swap characters races. That’s 2 strikes, one more and I’m turning this show off and am done with the series.
You misunderstood something about Cordyceps, and fungi generally -- they didn't say that warming planet would enable Cordyceps to spread to non-tropical parts of the world, they said that a warming world could enable the evolution of Cordyceps (and other fungi) that can live at _human body temperature_ --- which, presently, they can not, at least not very well, not right in your blood stream. Cordyceps species (there are many) are particularly abundant in tropical and semi-tropical Asia, but there are temperate species as well. The genus is on every continent, except probably Antarctica.
@@rifleshooterchannel208 it’s not crap and they didn’t “woke up.” I’m a Republican just like you, but I didn’t really care that they changed Sarah’s race, as I knew she would be killed very soon. So keep your fucking opinions to yourself please 😊 Again, if you say this is crap, I will hurt you. Your feelings I mean. How fucking dare you say this’ll be crap.
When it came out, I was a kid watching my older brother play it. I saw Sarah and was like "oh I thought the girl on the cover looked different", and my brother knowingly agreed with me to keep the shock going. This week my brother and I sat down with our mom to watch this, and we got to do the same thing to her 😅 Funny how things come back around.
I think it's the first time in my life when I don't have to watch a breakdown video because I know everything that happens lol Also it's crazy how Pedro Pascal looks so much like Joel in certain scenes and how Gabriel Luna sounds exactly like Tommy
I'm so excited for the show, I've been waiting for this for the last seven years, and now it's finally here. Can we appreciate the first 1960's scene with the talk show and automatically recognizing Batiatus from Sparticus. I had to update this comment because I can't believe I didn't recognize the Swede from Hell on Weels (The taller scientist on the panel).
Yeah I was pumped about seeing John Hannah (Batiatus) and the other doctor Christopher Heyerdahl played Alastair in Supernatural and has been in a ton of genre stuff all the way back to "Are you afraid of the Dark" lol. The host I am not familiar with.. That was indeed a chilling opening scene I thought.
It twas a great pilot. Well done to the crew and very impressive and surprising performances across the board. HBO has another GEM on their hands. Tuning in for the entire season! Cheers.
First episode was a blast! I liked how the fungus created a picture of the US in the intro. Also how Joel, Sarah and Tommy don’t eat any yeast products (granny Adler does), something that may have caused the virus to spread
I loved every minute of this show. This was one of my favorite zombie stories of all time (only thing that comes close is TWD with Clementine and Lee in it) I think the changes they made are so subtle or fit the show perfectly. Like His PTSD flashback on the soldier was amazing. Small enough that it doesn't change the story at all but is a nice twist on what we all have seen 👍
I really like this video. I think I agree with most of what you said :D This is my favourite video/ channel that broke down the first episode. I like the voice, the way he speaks and the editing. I will absolutely be returning next week for the next episode breakdown. I love TLOU. Thank you for Boeing so excited and passionate about it too :D
Just watched it this morning. (I'm in the UK so we had to wait a bit longer), loved it. When the credits rolled, I was like 'nooooooooooooooooo' because I have to wait for episode 2. Bella got Ellie down man, she's really good
I stayed up till 2am to watch it and as soon as I woke up I watched it again.. for me it’s a 10/10!! Absolutely amazing!! The few changes don’t change anything really.. makes it somewhat it’s own show in a way.. loved it
Aye something I don’t know if you missed ? Or over looked , there’s a part where Joel and tess are sneaking into the fireflies base and tess says “it’s like somone but a piano behind this “ nearly sure this is referring to how Joel and tess begin there journey to leave , they move this big owl piano to enter the tunnels ,keep up the great work can’t wait for next weeks breakdown ‘
Pleasantly surprised by the first episode. Strong cast, story moved along, didn't overly depend on zombies, interesting take on the cause, lots of story left to tell. Well done!
The young lady that plays Sara is amazing in that role; as a father of two daughters I had to fast forward through… well, you know. Pascal is such an left field choice for Joel but he’s absolutely perfect.
Man, you're an absolute legend! Putting up this video so quickly and with so many details! I just subscribed and I'm looking forward to watching your videos for the next episodes 🍄🧟
Yeah you even mention the S word and it’s an instant limited ads icon and they send you an email asking if you’re ok as they’ve noticed disturbing topics in your latest video
Theorytime: sarah was infected all along due to her frequent visits to her neighbors and exposure to the old lady but it manifested sooner in the old woman due to her feebleness. Also when trying to make sense of how her neighbors became infected, you can see sarah tremble when she ponders how frequently they possibly had to visit the hospital in order to catch it. This is reflected later in the episode when just after joel brutaly murders the gaurd arresting them and they find out ellie is already infected. For a split second before she reveals she is immune, he realizes no matter what he couldnt have saved her. Hinting the same fate was true for sarah.
Nah she didn't she nearly get infected though when The Adler offered her some cookies but it had raisin in it which she dislike so she didn't take it with her (not to mention Joel forgot to bought a cake)
I like that Ellie in TLOU2 says Joel watched the Viper 4 movie in theatre, and in the show Joel stands next to a poster for that very same movie. So many awesome details
I have never played the games before and knew nothing about them besides the main characters names and the clickers (well what they look like mainly) going into this, so watching this was a crazy experience and I loved every second of it. Actually I'm glad I went into this blind I feel it really enhanced the experience as opposed as to going in knowing most of the beats of the story. Anyway thanks for all the breakdowns and videos over the years, massive fan of the channel. Can't wait for the rest of the show.
The scene where Sarah is looking at the DVD and you can see the old woman blurred in the background with her mouth open gave me mad creeps. I can’t wait to watch the rest of the series!!!
I believe that the child that is killed at 18:19 is immune similar to Ellie. Ellie is later seen to test positive but she is not infected. Killing this child shows how quickly they'd disregard Ellie, and the hope she represents, if she was discovered.
There's one thing that I particularly liked about the scene where Sarah is in the watch shop. You see two police cars pass, which is fairly normal. You then see a firetruck pass, which is normal as well. I was expecting to see an ambulance next, but nope... It was SWAT.
Looking pretty great so far. Bummer about the probable lack of spores but that's a small thing. I just liked the extra danger of polluted spore filled air.
@@thomasrpokorny Nah, they did an interview about it and they pretty much just said it didn’t make much sense outside of gameplay. Their argument was that spores don’t stay in once place and that they travel, and that really everybody would be infected so they went back to the og tendril concept
I think this first episode shows that you can use the source material almost to the millimeter and still do something amazing that is it’s own thing. It’s the first episode and we should be cautious but this shows that other productions could’ve done the same and do great… (looking at you the witcher)
I really enjoyed this first episode. Felt faster on second viewing. Great cast imo, Pedro seems to fit the role really well. I hope it continues like this. I really like how it begins with Sarah waking upin bed to beautiful sunshine, which mirrors her next time (and her last time) waking up and the world is on fire and everyone is fucked. So well done that first 35. Also, the old lady is already changing when Sarah is in the house. You see her in the background with a wide open mouth and the dog is sitting in front of her definitely noticing she's not right/the same (I see others noticed this as well) Listening to this, the only thing I think I found somewhat odd is Joel not holding onto the wrench after dropping the old lady. Ofc he wouldn't know the full scope of things at that point, but he did know things were very bad and that people can attack etc. I hope the rest will be just as good and they greenlight another asap so they can begin doing it.
That poor boy that walks into 2023 Boston (trekking from who knows where and for how long) and collapses, only to be killed because he is infected. What if he was also immune like Ellie? How many possible immune people where put to death?
There likely weren't any documented cases of immunity before Ellie and wouldn't have any reason to assume the kid was something other than infected. That's why even the Fireflies locked Ellie up and didn't believe her at first.
I kept myself very very far away from news about this adaptation before watching it, so I totally missed most of the casting, and I laughed very much when I saw Anna Torv playing Tess while I'm actually bingewatching Fringe. More hilariously, they also share the setting since the series starts in Boston where Fringe main setting was.
ONE IMPORTANT thing When she asked "Are we gonna bake chocolate chip and said NO. Raisin cookies" Raisins actually raisin had a high contamination level by these fungi which are potential producers of ochratoxin
I think the coffee cup Joel is drinking from in the breakfast scene is similar to the mug he's sipping coffee from in the TLOU2 conversation with Ellie.
Yeah but the science says no. Spores stick to clothes not to mention a door would not stop spores. You'd have to wear a gas mask 24/7. No humans would be able to live outside.
They gave you an Easter egg when Joel pulls the cabinet away in 2023 - you see the dust through the sunshine resembling spores. They do this twice in the episode.
I agree. That’s the only thing I’m disappointed in. And when they reach the timeline of LOU2, there’s some crucial scenes that are based on the spores(one with Dina and the other with Nora).
I Played the TLOU on playstaion and knew about Sarah's death, but my God it still hurt like hell to wacth joel lose his daughter in a blink of an eye 😞 The day after his birthday too
Love that you included Johnathan Ross' Batman review, I've only ever known him from panel shows like Big Fat Quiz. Sounds like he's always been a trip!
So far loved it amazing work the first scene where Sarah and Joel living there life was fun to watch then suddenly chaos takes over all hell breaks loses the acting everything was just amazing had doubts on how they would screw up the show I was wrong so far am looking forward to more episodes

Gabriel Luna actually went ahead brought a PS and played both of the games. You can feel his performance is so inspired by the games. He nailed Tommy's vocal mannerisms.
It was such a good episode
Good

good
I loved the opening episode … The best opening episode I've ever seen.
It was the little subtle things that caused the tension rise for the virus starting to begin, Like subtle coughs in the classroom & Grandma scene.
Can't wait for the next episode.
The kid twitching was an “oh shit” moment and the grandma was “ohhhhhhh shhhiiiittttttt”
I would love to see Joel in those 20 years that passed. How everything came to be. How Joel got he’s reputation. And Tess!
Always wanted that to be a dlc or something. Feels like a huge missed opportunity imo.
Should be a prequel the last of us would be so good if they explored the first few days to weeks of the apocalypse starting from the outbreak ending 3 weeks into it in the perspective of different characters of course
@@icrywhenisleep2130 Either a prequel or Last of us part 3 should have flashbacks of Joels and ellies past when the outbreak first started
@abirsharma82 nah I think a different set of characters is better to explore tlou was pure trash tlou is as far as the story goes
I mean that 20 years could be how they show the firefly uprising, tommy leaving joel for them, maybe he’s smuggled other people and lost them? Could be sick
I like how Ellie appreciated Joel defending her and his daughter was terrified by it. Shows how different they truly are..
Well Ellie has grown up in a harsh reality. Sarah knew her dad as her dad, and then had reality completely flipped on is head and she's watching her dad flip out and beat the shit out of people for the first time she has seen. For a kid that's a lot of change in a matter of minutes.
@@alexmoon1631 Yeah. It's like, how a kid views being taken care of, does a complete 180° in twenty years time.
The Adlers grandmother wasn’t infected because she went to the hospital (future show spoilers ahead); Joel mentions to Ellie that the early infection spread through tainted yeast [edit: flour, not yeast]. The Adlers were feeding the grandmother bread/biscuits earlier in the episode, and even offered it to Sarah.
Makes sense! Far more sense than the hospital angle. That didnt add up for me. But then it also adds a new wrinkle with how did the fungus spread and so quickly, all at once.
Like we hear about it happening in Jakarta. Then we see the arabic shopkeepers in on the event. And we see Sarahs classmate with the jitters. Not sure there really is a plausible explanation for how it could actually spread globally, all at the same time, everywhere at once though.
That same yeast would have gotten Joel, and Sarah, but they ended up not making pancakes. They had eggs and bacon instead
@@wheezyproduct Pancakes don't have yeast.
I think in this series, they're saying it's grain/wheat rather than yeast; they mentioned ergot in the beginning, which has roots in a theory that the Salem with trials were fueled by paranoid delusions/hallucinations caused by ergot tainted grain.
Also, the only other person we visually see expressing symptoms is a young boy wearing a medical alert bracelet. What does he and the grandma have in common? They might both have weakened immune systems which opens them up go infection (especially fungus infections which are much less common in healthy individuals).
The only explanation for Jakarta I can think of is either a) because that's where cordyceps millitaris (the specific fungus that infects the ants and insects) is native to or b) they had the tainted grain first/shipped it out (I'll be honest, I know more about medicine and mycology than I do Indonesia and their farming practices)
@@clarkkent7973 it was in the flour in the mix I think? Saw it on reddit about a interview Pedro Pascal did
Loved the shot of Ellie watching Joel beat the soldier. She wasn't scared by it at all.
Word she looked intrigued by it lol
@@spec2be The writer used the word 'activated'.
I mean she stabbed him so I would assume so lol
@@SneakyG59 Stabbing out of fear of being discovered as infected is one thing. Actively watching a dude get his face pounded in is another.
That tackle was smooth as fuck to that's realistic shit right there
I honestly am very grateful my favorite videogame had one of the best opening episodes for a tv show adaptation, its so damn good. My only gripe is that some of the dialogue feels too rushed, however it makes sense that Joel would be very short with Ellie anyway given their situation. Never thought it would be as great as it was.
Less is more. Its like a comic book movie adaptation for Superman, Spiderman, Batman, etc. We know Uncle Ben died, we know the Waynes got mugged, we know you're from Krypton. Heard the story a million times already, just get to the point in your "new retelling" of the iconic character.
Its a zombie apocalypse. We get it. Less is more so that you can actually go over things the audience needs to know within the time you have to tell a story. We really dont need a 10 minute recap of what we already know as an audience. Thats why they did what they did in some parts and, frankly, its the right call.
*cries in Halo*
I like how they follow Joel's daughter throughout the episode as the main character, getting you invested and attached to this cute nice little girl, only to have her murdered. That was good writing.
They did an incredible job with making you feel connected to Sarah and Joel’s father-daughter relationship. In just one episode they managed to make you feel strong emotions when a character that we just met, dies. Outstanding acting from tommy, Joel and Sarah
I totally forgot she dies and it shocked me. I was so invested in her character 😂
I watched *that* scene probably a dozen times tonight. Some of the best, most heart-wrenching acting I’ve seen in a LONG time.
Honestly I really liked it. I don't mind the changes either. It's nice to see the story told in a different way. We'll still always have the games in the end anyways. But I am very impressed.
I agree except I think it sucks that there won't be any gas masks in it as I thought that concept was pretty cool
@@smokeymcbongwater I think Bill character does wear them, but yeah Joel and others should be to protect from the spores
@@smokeymcbongwater yeah the spores makes sense for the fungi and everything but as far as filming a tv show I understand why there’s no masks
Pedro Pascal was an amazing cast and Ellie’s cast was great too. I can see myself loving their chemistry
I love Joel’s casting, but Ellie isn’t really gripping me right now… maybe she’ll grow on me but I like the show so far!
@@micahdells6855 we have yet to see her more involved in the story but I understand you bro
Potato head being cast as Ellie is a crime.
@@Unworthy241 This whole casting is a crime and a damn shame. I'm done with The Last of Us it's a woke world of shit now.
@@freedomofspeech3792 Pascal's woke bs in and out of film ALWAYS annoys me. They could have literally found ANYONE that looked like Joel who could have nailed that role just like with the Mandalorean. He is not perfect or necessary for either role and he isn't this "revolutionary actor"...
It was such a good episode, and faithful adaptation. I cannot wait for the rest of the series.
I would beg to differ
@@holgerpaludanske9183 i dont think anyone asked you chief
@@holgerpaludanske9183 Then beg cause no one cares
@@holgerpaludanske9183 Actually, I completely agree with you
I'm glad the "drugs. i sell hardcore drugs" line managed to find its way to the show
Me too! Such a nice lighthearted moment in both depictions.
This was a great first episode. Glad they actually expanded things a bit with Sarah and gave her more screen time. Pedro Pascal is great as Joel. Bella Ramsey actually sounds just like Ellie. I also dug the opening set in the 1960s. They really went all out with just the first episode alone. Can't wait to see what they have in store for the rest of the season.
The camera angles in the scene where they were trying to escape the city was cinematic genius, and replacing the car crash with a PLANEE CRASHING is an incredible change
The fact that troy baker, Ashley Johnson plus two others will be on the show but play other characters is cool. I think Ashley is going to play ellie's mom.
She’s not, shes said to be playing a pregnant woman that Joel and ellie find on their journey and is forced to give birth in a very heated part of the show. Troy baker will be playing a raider or a member of a survivors group of some sort
@@nicoleabrenica she is. ashley johnson will be playing anna, ellies mother, and troy baker will be playing james, a man in davids group
Watched it the moment 9’oclock hit. I can’t wait for everyone to turn around and say how much they were waiting for this show and didn’t make negative comments about the cast lol
Where can I watch it
@@deimos1845 hbo, should be channel 500 if you have cable or it should be on hbo max as well
No matter the cast, it was always going to get some pushback. I was surprised at how quickly I embraced these actors though. Ellie was the toughest, but immediately I melted when she starts cussing. That’s the Ellie I know and love.
Looks like woke garbage already and I haven’t even gotten past the 6 minute mark.
@@rifleshooterchannel208 🤦♂️ how about you finish it before going to RUclips to start complaining.
LOVE the adaptation so far. Pedro seems invested in the role & the way he screamed "Tommy help me" ripped me heart out. Very excited to see where this goes.
I'm so glad they've maintained Joel's dead inside secondary character to Ellie's sarcastic snarky self. Pedro Pascal is a perfect babysitter actor in both this and Mandalorian.
Pascal is S tier actor i never doubt him
Pedro pascal the babysitter
He’s terrible in mando, but he’s great in everything else
i love when source material is taken seriously! *stares angerly at Resident Evil*

99% sure this is going to be crap.
2 minutes in they’re pushing global warming nonsense.
5 minutes in they go woke and swap characters races.
That’s 2 strikes, one more and I’m turning this show off and am done with the series.
never played the games, but digging the show so far!
@@dodobean7620 Unless you just don't play video games you really should. Words can't describe what an amazing experience it was on every level.
You misunderstood something about Cordyceps, and fungi generally -- they didn't say that warming planet would enable Cordyceps to spread to non-tropical parts of the world, they said that a warming world could enable the evolution of Cordyceps (and other fungi) that can live at _human body temperature_ --- which, presently, they can not, at least not very well, not right in your blood stream.
Cordyceps species (there are many) are particularly abundant in tropical and semi-tropical Asia, but there are temperate species as well. The genus is on every continent, except probably Antarctica.
@@rifleshooterchannel208 it’s not crap and they didn’t “woke up.” I’m a Republican just like you, but I didn’t really care that they changed Sarah’s race, as I knew she would be killed very soon. So keep your fucking opinions to yourself please 😊
Again, if you say this is crap, I will hurt you. Your feelings I mean. How fucking dare you say this’ll be crap.
When it came out, I was a kid watching my older brother play it. I saw Sarah and was like "oh I thought the girl on the cover looked different", and my brother knowingly agreed with me to keep the shock going. This week my brother and I sat down with our mom to watch this, and we got to do the same thing to her 😅 Funny how things come back around.
I think it's the first time in my life when I don't have to watch a breakdown video because I know everything that happens lol
Also it's crazy how Pedro Pascal looks so much like Joel in certain scenes and how Gabriel Luna sounds exactly like Tommy
Great first episode, loved every minute of it. OMG when grandma turned in the background, such a cool scene.
That was freaky as shit 😅
The planes and plane crashing was terrifying yet amazing
I'm so excited for the show, I've been waiting for this for the last seven years, and now it's finally here. Can we appreciate the first 1960's scene with the talk show and automatically recognizing Batiatus from Sparticus. I had to update this comment because I can't believe I didn't recognize the Swede from Hell on Weels (The taller scientist on the panel).
Yeah I was pumped about seeing John Hannah (Batiatus) and the other doctor Christopher Heyerdahl played Alastair in Supernatural and has been in a ton of genre stuff all the way back to "Are you afraid of the Dark" lol. The host I am not familiar with.. That was indeed a chilling opening scene I thought.
Only just getting through your reviews... What a ton of work you put! Love the show!
It twas a great pilot. Well done to the crew and very impressive and surprising performances across the board. HBO has another GEM on their hands. Tuning in for the entire season! Cheers.
Banger of a season premiere. They are nailing this and hope they continue to stay true to the games.
First episode was a blast! I liked how the fungus created a picture of the US in the intro. Also how Joel, Sarah and Tommy don’t eat any yeast products (granny Adler does), something that may have caused the virus to spread
despite some not looking like their character cast are full of good actors
I rather have good actors than spot on lookalike that cant act.
I LOVE it! I’m so stoked that it’s finally here. I loved the clicker on the roof top at the end of the first episode. Can’t wait for more.
I missed the clicker on the roof. Is it when they are panning out and showing the city?
@@letsrock12345 yeah look to the left it’s screaming at them!
It’s pretty small and if you listen close you can hear it click and screech.
@@brianlouks4875 i gotcha. Im watching on my phone so ut may have been too small. I heard it but couldnt spot it
@@letsrock12345 yeah it’s on the top of the building to the left right at the edge.
And this is why I love your channel! Always posting breakdowns of everything I watch🤣🤣🤣
I loved every minute of this show. This was one of my favorite zombie stories of all time (only thing that comes close is TWD with Clementine and Lee in it)
I think the changes they made are so subtle or fit the show perfectly. Like His PTSD flashback on the soldier was amazing. Small enough that it doesn't change the story at all but is a nice twist on what we all have seen 👍
I really like this video. I think I agree with most of what you said :D This is my favourite video/ channel that broke down the first episode. I like the voice, the way he speaks and the editing. I will absolutely be returning next week for the next episode breakdown. I love TLOU. Thank you for Boeing so excited and passionate about it too :D
I’m so impressed with the first episode and can’t wait for the rest of the season
Just watched it this morning. (I'm in the UK so we had to wait a bit longer), loved it. When the credits rolled, I was like 'nooooooooooooooooo' because I have to wait for episode 2. Bella got Ellie down man, she's really good
The detail they put towards the sets with little Easter eggs is astounding, and I’ve no doubt in my mind this series will be incredible 👏
Loved this first episode!!! I loved Pedro Pascal as Joel and Bella Ramsey as Ellie
"Ellie" 0------_------0
I stayed up till 2am to watch it and as soon as I woke up I watched it again.. for me it’s a 10/10!! Absolutely amazing!! The few changes don’t change anything really.. makes it somewhat it’s own show in a way.. loved it
Aye something I don’t know if you missed ? Or over looked , there’s a part where Joel and tess are sneaking into the fireflies base and tess says “it’s like somone but a piano behind this “ nearly sure this is referring to how Joel and tess begin there journey to leave , they move this big owl piano to enter the tunnels ,keep up the great work can’t wait for next weeks breakdown ‘
Pleasantly surprised by the first episode. Strong cast, story moved along, didn't overly depend on zombies, interesting take on the cause, lots of story left to tell. Well done!
Pedro pascal killing it with all the father roles
Except mando.
I absolutely Love how they did the infected, the Fungi coming out there mouth is honestly disturbing, and super creepy
I didn't realize it was that, I thought it was the woman's hair hanging out of the old woman's mouth 😅
The young lady that plays Sara is amazing in that role; as a father of two daughters I had to fast forward through… well, you know. Pascal is such an left field choice for Joel but he’s absolutely perfect.
Same, I had to fast forward through that scene because my heart couldn’t take it
@@clarity1984 I wish I could say that’s an isolated occurrence but fatherhood has turned me into a cryer.
Man, you're an absolute legend! Putting up this video so quickly and with so many details! I just subscribed and I'm looking forward to watching your videos for the next episodes 🍄🧟
Cheers mate, thank you for the support
genius video idea! will tune in every week after the show :)
I laughed at “unalived himself” haha. Great video mate keep ‘em comming 😊
Disappointed in RUclips for potentially demonitizing over something silly like this.
Yeah you even mention the S word and it’s an instant limited ads icon and they send you an email asking if you’re ok as they’ve noticed disturbing topics in your latest video
Theorytime: sarah was infected all along due to her frequent visits to her neighbors and exposure to the old lady but it manifested sooner in the old woman due to her feebleness.
Also when trying to make sense of how her neighbors became infected, you can see sarah tremble when she ponders how frequently they possibly had to visit the hospital in order to catch it.
This is reflected later in the episode when just after joel brutaly murders the gaurd arresting them and they find out ellie is already infected. For a split second before she reveals she is immune, he realizes no matter what he couldnt have saved her. Hinting the same fate was true for sarah.
Nah she didn't she nearly get infected though when The Adler offered her some cookies but it had raisin in it which she dislike so she didn't take it with her (not to mention Joel forgot to bought a cake)
good theory but infected don’t spread spores when still alive
Gabriel Luna sounds exactly like Tommy it’s insane
I like that Ellie in TLOU2 says Joel watched the Viper 4 movie in theatre, and in the show Joel stands next to a poster for that very same movie. So many awesome details
Pedro’s Texan accent is spot on. My wife said he sounded like someone from back home, before she knew he was a Texan.
I have never played the games before and knew nothing about them besides the main characters names and the clickers (well what they look like mainly) going into this, so watching this was a crazy experience and I loved every second of it. Actually I'm glad I went into this blind I feel it really enhanced the experience as opposed as to going in knowing most of the beats of the story. Anyway thanks for all the breakdowns and videos over the years, massive fan of the channel. Can't wait for the rest of the show.
16:07 This young woman deserves an award for her acting! She was so good.
The scene where Sarah is looking at the DVD and you can see the old woman blurred in the background with her mouth open gave me mad creeps. I can’t wait to watch the rest of the series!!!
I believe that the child that is killed at 18:19 is immune similar to Ellie. Ellie is later seen to test positive but she is not infected. Killing this child shows how quickly they'd disregard Ellie, and the hope she represents, if she was discovered.
This was ace, thank you so much! Looking forward to following these breakdowns alongside the series.
already searched your breakdown after i finished the first episode
There's one thing that I particularly liked about the scene where Sarah is in the watch shop. You see two police cars pass, which is fairly normal. You then see a firetruck pass, which is normal as well. I was expecting to see an ambulance next, but nope... It was SWAT.
Loved it!!! I was praying they didn’t mess this up and so far it’s great!!!
So far I love the subtle changes. Excited for the next one
Looking pretty great so far. Bummer about the probable lack of spores but that's a small thing. I just liked the extra danger of polluted spore filled air.
Agreed. Wondering if Pedro Pascal was like “don’t hide my face!”
@@thomasrpokorny Nah, they did an interview about it and they pretty much just said it didn’t make much sense outside of gameplay. Their argument was that spores don’t stay in once place and that they travel, and that really everybody would be infected so they went back to the og tendril concept
M8! So glad you're doing this show, played both games and very excited to see it fleshed out. Looking forward to your breakdown next week!
Thanks, hope you enjoy the videos
I think this first episode shows that you can use the source material almost to the millimeter and still do something amazing that is it’s own thing. It’s the first episode and we should be cautious but this shows that other productions could’ve done the same and do great… (looking at you the witcher)
I really enjoyed this first episode. Felt faster on second viewing. Great cast imo, Pedro seems to fit the role really well. I hope it continues like this.
I really like how it begins with Sarah waking upin bed to beautiful sunshine, which mirrors her next time (and her last time) waking up and the world is on fire and everyone is fucked. So well done that first 35.
Also, the old lady is already changing when Sarah is in the house. You see her in the background with a wide open mouth and the dog is sitting in front of her definitely noticing she's not right/the same (I see others noticed this as well)
Listening to this, the only thing I think I found somewhat odd is Joel not holding onto the wrench after dropping the old lady. Ofc he wouldn't know the full scope of things at that point, but he did know things were very bad and that people can attack etc. I hope the rest will be just as good and they greenlight another asap so they can begin doing it.
8:44 lol ya theory time voice is gold
That poor boy that walks into 2023 Boston (trekking from who knows where and for how long) and collapses, only to be killed because he is infected. What if he was also immune like Ellie? How many possible immune people where put to death?
so true! i never even thought about that
He didn't look healthy. He was also read as infected
@@charisma-hornum-fries So was Ellie.
There likely weren't any documented cases of immunity before Ellie and wouldn't have any reason to assume the kid was something other than infected. That's why even the Fireflies locked Ellie up and didn't believe her at first.
Seems to be worth watching for the next few weeks. Hopefully it will continue to improve as it goes along.
How in the hell did you compile and edit (phenomenally) this video so fast? Amazing
He’s got employees
They get screeners. He filmed this a week ago.
yeah he must have gotten early access
Freaking loved the first episode!
Great video
I kept myself very very far away from news about this adaptation before watching it, so I totally missed most of the casting, and I laughed very much when I saw Anna Torv playing Tess while I'm actually bingewatching Fringe.
More hilariously, they also share the setting since the series starts in Boston where Fringe main setting was.
DEPECHE MODE MUSIC AT THE END!!! yeah!! 80's kid here
Yes, was a nice cherry on top 🙂
@@MrJson1006 oh man it really was, cheers!
ONE IMPORTANT thing When she asked "Are we gonna bake chocolate chip and said NO. Raisin cookies" Raisins actually raisin had a high contamination level by these fungi which are potential producers of ochratoxin
Brilliant breakdown, in perpetuity 👍🏼 Love the show
I think the coffee cup Joel is drinking from in the breakfast scene is similar to the mug he's sipping coffee from in the TLOU2 conversation with Ellie.
It really sucks they removed the Fungi Spores, thats really a big factor on how deadly outside the QCs are..
Yeah but the science says no. Spores stick to clothes not to mention a door would not stop spores. You'd have to wear a gas mask 24/7. No humans would be able to live outside.
They gave you an Easter egg when Joel pulls the cabinet away in 2023 - you see the dust through the sunshine resembling spores. They do this twice in the episode.
I agree. That’s the only thing I’m disappointed in. And when they reach the timeline of LOU2, there’s some crucial scenes that are based on the spores(one with Dina and the other with Nora).
Such a good show, excited for your coverage ;)
Good video. Im with you. I am so excited for series
Just finished episode 1 brooooo it's soooo goodddd
I Played the TLOU on playstaion and knew about Sarah's death, but my God it still hurt like hell to wacth joel lose his daughter in a blink of an eye 😞
The day after his birthday too
Perfectly played. I cried as I watched him and his daughter live. Knowing she would die from the games, it still made me tear up!
Awesome that you covered this and I'm just getting started
Sarah's death will make me tear up every time without a doubt
great to have you back on the case mate! I'd been missing THEORY TIME, Theory Time, theory time... 🤣
I liked how the Fedra woman made the kid feel comfortable even though they had tested positive
I watched Julien Solominatas take on that and he was saying maybe the kid was actually safe with death because it's better being out of that world
Love that you included Johnathan Ross' Batman review, I've only ever known him from panel shows like Big Fat Quiz. Sounds like he's always been a trip!
So far loved it amazing work the first scene where Sarah and Joel living there life was fun to watch then suddenly chaos takes over all hell breaks loses the acting everything was just amazing had doubts on how they would screw up the show I was wrong so far am looking forward to more episodes
