The Last of Us’ HBO show premieres next month, and if potential fans do not know much about the games themselves, they may not know how closely it looks to translate the narrative and iconography from the games. It helps that HBO worked closely with inseparable team members at Naughty Dog as well as actors who worked on the games, and its essential themes still seem to be honored in that way. That said, the HBO show is not a one-to-one adaptation of The Last of Us, and there will seemingly be a lot of content that is omitted in the games.
