The first episode of HBO’s “The Last of Us” is important, and not just to set the scene and introduce the characters. For those of us who played the 2013 game, it’s something of a test: Can the show live up to the game’s performances?

Druckmann goes on to say that the game and the show aren’t really about the pandemic, and he’s right. After the ominous warning from 1968, we flash forward to Austin in 2003. Sarah is getting ready for school and planning for her dad’s birthday. Parker and Pascal engage in playful banter, and we even see Joel’s brother Tommy join breakfast. It’s clear that this is a family unit where everyone depends on one another: both Sarah and Tommy hold Joel accountable for the lack of pancakes.
After that, we get a jarring flash forward several decades. We meet a child walking aimlessly into Boston, now established as a “quarantine zone” from the pandemic. The child is infected, and the militarized police force opts for euthanization. Finally, we meet Bella Ramsey’s Ellie, chained in a Firefly location for as-of-yet-unknown reasons. She’s forced to undergo simple logic tests to prove her awareness of the situation. The Fireflies seem to be restless, questioning their leader Marlene’s plan. But once Marlene writes out her reason silently to a trusted associate, questions turn into unquestioning determination. They need to get Ellie out of Boston.Joel and Tess’s hunt for a car battery puts them in the orbit of the Fireflies.
