In the year 2013, when the third-generation PlayStation was about to be replaced with the next generation of its console lineup, Naughty Dog Studios came out with that game that would end up becoming one of the most desired and loved games in the world. The magic of The Last Of Us was something that could make you sit down for hours on end without you realizing it, earning it the title of ‘Game of The Decade’ by millions of its fans worldwide.
And thus, to broaden the reach and appeal of the series’ wonderful story and narration that it boasts of, Warner Bros. decided to take the magic from the video game and bring it to live-action with HBO’s The Last Of Us live-action adaptation. And with just two episodes out, the show has far succeeded in the expectations of all the fans that were rooting for the show to be successful. With so much love poured from its fans, original video game creator Neil Druckmann is thinking of a third part of the video game series.

Why Is HBO’s The Last Of Us So Successful?
The one and probably the only reason that the show is so popular is the reason that the show follows the script of the video game narration to the point with very little to no deviation at all from the source material. This, combined with the larger-than-life performance of its lead cast Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey brings the characters of Joel and Ellie to life as they traverse the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the United States.
