I wonder why HBO turned off comments on their Twitter ads/threads for this show.

I quit watching when they wrote Anna Torv out of the show — in the second episode!

What happened? What made you turn it off? I figure it’s woke like the second game with Druckmann involved, but I have no info.

And by the way...did the producers say to themselves, “Let’s cast the ugliest actress we can find to play the child”?

They do this for a lot of shows. They did it for Velma. Seems that if a show is going to be a lightening rod for arguments over social issues, and not a discussion of the show itself, they'll shut down comments.

I've only watched the first episode of TLOU so far but I was enjoying it.

HBO likes their third-tier Game of Thrones actors.

Indeed.

They portrayed a prepper as a closet gay who came out after being alone for four years and then meeting and harboring a gay refugee.

“The latest episode of HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’ is getting review-bombed by angry gamers”

It’s OK with me so far, but I never heard of it before last week. Evidently it is based on a video game, and existing fans objected to the script being changed.

I detected no wokeism yet.

It is just another zombie apocalypse story. The fungus source of the infection/body snatching is plausible.

Pedro Pascal is on my No Watch List.

On the plus side, one episode in, Netflix, Lockwood & Co.

I haven’t seen the latest episode yet. Sounds like I will be turning it off.

You wanted them to disrespect the source material?

“[C]ritics are loving it: On Rotten Tomatoes, which doesn’t feature user ratings for individual episodes, the episode received a stellar 96% rating from critics.”

Tells you everything you need to know about the “critics”

I’m not familiar with the source material. I’d heard of the game but never played it.

Looked it up on youtube the other day. It appears that the game has One and a Half hours of Cutscenes! (Cutscenes annoy me)

The prepper was probably gay in the game too, it’s just that they didn’t beat you over the head with it. To devote an entire episode to the backstory of such a minor character just to push the LGBTQ+ agenda is what angers a lot of fans. Episode 3 adds nothing to the story arc of the series.

I’m watching it. I am unfamiliar with the game. I wonder what ways the script is being changed from the game so that game fans are now upset?
Anyone have game knowledge and thoughts on this?
