I have now finally seen episode 3 of The Last of Us.

This show is incredible. That was one of the best 80 minutes of anything I've ever seen on screen.

@birchtree I’m saving it till they are all done but each episode is an hour twenty?? That is near feature film length. I’m excited for this.
@cabinet20 Yeah, like 8 minutes at the end is the “behind the episode" thing, but it's basically a tight feature film. Not saying a word about what happens, but it was masterfully done.
@birchtree I’ve done the game so I know the end so wasn’t worried too much by spoilers but getting the feeling that the show creators have expanded on things that were hinted at to make it unique and wonderful in its own way. The service it’s on in the UK had nothing else I wanted to watch though so was handing on till it’s finished and then binging it 😂

@cabinet20 Yeah, I would say that while the arc of the story is the same, the specifics are changed just enough to keep it (very) interesting even if you played the game.

Episode 3 is apparently the biggest deviation from the game, and it's a doozy.

I'll stop hyping it up now 😂
