HBO's 'The Last of Us' is really good. That doesn't mean other video-game TV shows will be.
The second episode was watched by 5.7 million viewers on Sunday, a 22% increase from the premiere's first night, HBO said this week. The first episode ended up being watched by nearly 18 million viewers in its first week, and the show has already been renewed for a second season.a rare occurrence for video-game adaptations. The series has a 97% critic score and a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
But just because"The Last of Us" creators, Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, managed to bring the game to TV in a satisfying way, doesn't mean other video-game shows will have the same fate. For instance, the second episode focused on the characters making their way to the Massachusetts State House, while the third episode will see Joel and Ellie meet up with the smuggler Bill, which is its own"level" in the game. After that, Joel and Ellie travel to Pittsburgh in the game, which I assume would be the fourth episode's focus.
That's not to say that they don't feature compelling narratives, and they could still be great TV shows. But creators will have to make a lot of tough decisions about what storylines to focus on and which characters to flesh out.
