The critics had warned us: the series The Last of Us is already a big box on the side of the fans. On Rotten Tomatoes, a reference site for films and series, the video game adaptation obtains the colossal score of 96/100, something relatively rare for a first episode. In France, it is on Amazon Prime Video that we will be able to discover the latter, available since today.
It is certainly one of the most anticipated series of this beginning of the year, and it seems that HBO has been there. Last night, American viewers were able to discover the first episode of The Last of Us, the adaptation of the eponymous game. On our side of the globe, it was not until today that Amazon Prime Video, which recovered the broadcasting rights, put it online.
Anyway, it seems that this start to the season did not disappoint the fans. The series had already greatly won over critics, who were able to see the entire series before anyone else and who did not hesitate, for some, to call it a masterpiece. According to the rating given to the first episode, the public is of the same opinion. Indeed, the latter obtained the colossal score of 96/100.
The Last of Us is a hit with the public
Suffice to say that it is extremely rare for a series to start so well on the site. By way of comparison, we can consider that a series or a film is excellent when it receives at least the mark of 80/100, and the works which obtain more than 95/100 are not really legion. Translation: if you hesitate to watch the series for fear of being disappointed, you can go for it with your eyes closed, if only to form your own opinion.

Of course, it remains to be seen if The Last of Us will confirm the trial for the rest of the season. The relationship between Ellie and Joel being at the center of the plot, it will be necessary to wait a few more episodes to assess the quality of the series in a more global way. But, one thing is certain, this one starts very well. Have you watched the first episode yet? Tell us what you think in the comments!
