I became a patron just to see this ep early lol. As much as you guys love the moments of just Joel and Ellie walking around and talking you would adore the video game. To us og game players the show feels a little rushed mostly because there is SO much of that for you to absorb in the game. Regardless of that I think the show is fantastic, but there are a lot of great moments that build their relationship even more.

2023-04-26 05:19:02 +0000 UTCI think they would love Hannibal, I definitely did and aside from being extremely well made it ticks a lot of the boxes that Lola and Milena seem to enjoy in a show
Max Carter
2023-04-12 08:06:28 +0000 UTCYeah, Not on the channel tho

2023-04-12 07:47:52 +0000 UTCAny chance of a first playthrough of the game? Wishful thinking... xD

2023-04-12 07:45:45 +0000 UTCthey watched peaky blinders?

2023-04-12 07:39:50 +0000 UTCHannibal is the only one I’ve seen of them and that one is amazing easily a masterpiece.

2023-04-12 05:13:41 +0000 UTCLet me be pessimistic if I want cmon man. 😝 ITS NOT GONNA WIN JUST BECAUSE I WANT IT TO.
Melkor
2023-04-12 05:12:42 +0000 UTCI think there’s a lot of things they’d really enjoy about Six Feet Under and Buffy, lots of wholesome likable but flawed characters. Really think there’s a of story elements that they’d LOVE about Sopranos and The Wire but it might take them a little while to find characters they really deeply bond with in each show Wish they hadn’t already watched Fleabag and Peaky Blinders …

2023-04-12 04:00:16 +0000 UTCOh man, Barry for sure. Easily the most unique show on your list.

2023-04-12 02:07:24 +0000 UTCplease put black sails on the next poll! there is a lot in there that i know you girls will love - compelling themes, character-focused and the female cast is very prominent. but most importantly (for me), it NAILS ITS ENDING and wraps up all threads beautifully.

2023-04-12 01:26:24 +0000 UTCHappy birthday! I also support the Midnight Mass recommendation.
HenryM
2023-04-12 00:35:14 +0000 UTCMad Men and Hannibal are also amazing
T0ast
2023-04-12 00:34:50 +0000 UTCthis was a treat. today was my first day off in a while and i spent the day cleaning, doing chores and catching up with your reactions. it's also my birthday so that was kinda a treat to myself. i actually watched part of this episode while eating cake lol i was watching joel murdering a bunch of people while eating a piece of cake. anyway, as someone who hasn't played i loved this show. i watched a couple of playthroughs since then and since i'm not a patient person i also watched a playthrough of the second game. i can't wait for the next season. i'm not sure which show is replacing this, are you two still reacting to shadow and bone? i still haven't watched the 2nd season because i was waiting for your reactions to watch along, but i don't think you've mentioned it. anyway, i know it's wishful thinking but here i am again recomending midnight mass. only 8 episodes, it's already finished and you bothe loved the hounthing of hill house and liked bly mannor too. the show is a masterpiece and i'm sure you'd adore it. and the acting is some of the best i've seen in a show.

2023-04-11 23:03:39 +0000 UTCMad Men would be such an amazing series to react to
Rynsen
2023-04-11 22:19:44 +0000 UTCloved the reactions!!! i was so emotional this entire episode 😭😭 i suggest watching nbc hannibal! its a completed 3 season show that’s very good :)
natalie
2023-04-11 22:18:22 +0000 UTC+1 for Mad Men or Hannibal
Preston Smith
2023-04-11 21:19:53 +0000 UTCMelkor, you can't actually be serious. Black Sails nearly beat Mr. Robot in the poll. There's a fairly high chance that it's the next show
Isaac
2023-04-11 20:40:15 +0000 UTCHahaha. Imagine their faces watching Season 3 of Twin Peaks. Humpty Dumpty is evil. David Bowie is a giant teapot. Abraham Lincoln is a hobo-demon. None of these ''spoilers'' will make sense before or after you watch the show. Good luck.
Orr Malus
2023-04-11 19:37:20 +0000 UTCThe Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, and Ozark are brilliant, but are cold and merciless and not nearly as emotionally compelling or emotionally intelligent as Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul/Mr Robot. It's tough not to hate most of the characters in those shows and they become frustrating, though rewarding, watches. Oppositely, The Wire, Hannibal, The Good Place, The Leftovers, Mad Men, Twin Peaks, Barry, and The Americans have emotionally brilliant storylines and characters you can't help but fall in love with, as well as consistently high quality writing throughout.
Jonah
2023-04-11 18:43:05 +0000 UTCI really hope Black sails will one day actually be voted on for a future series you can react to but so far it hasn’t been looking good. One day I hope because that show is very underrated and extremely good.
Melkor
2023-04-11 18:20:15 +0000 UTCthey should definitely react to the good place, they're gonna love it
El hombre
2023-04-11 18:06:52 +0000 UTCAshley Johnson, the actress who plays Ellie's mother on the show is the same one who portrays Ellie's character on the game
El hombre
2023-04-11 17:33:01 +0000 UTCIt was only announced less than 2 weeks ago that they will be shooting in Vancouver. Filming will begin later this year. https://deadline.com/2023/03/the-last-of-us-season-2-location-1235314676/

2023-04-11 16:46:51 +0000 UTCI recommend Barry, the good place, or the wire for finished shows. Barry final season starts this weekend so it will also be done soon.
T0ast
2023-04-11 16:32:21 +0000 UTCSopranos would be great. Same with Succession.
BobJ
2023-04-11 16:31:03 +0000 UTCPedro Pascal in an interview said they a half way done with filming season 2. I can find the clip.
Alexander Foster
2023-04-11 16:05:34 +0000 UTCI have no idea where you heard this from but no, they have not started filming season 2 yet.
RonJon
2023-04-11 13:31:34 +0000 UTCRegarding how Ellie became immune from the cordyceps. Medically speaking fungus spores are too big to pass through the placenta. They're also too big to pass through the blood/brain barrier. So yeah, everyone was freaking out for no good reason in particular.
Orr Malus
2023-04-11 12:26:25 +0000 UTCThey absolutely nailed this first season. Like many fans of the game, I was very apprehensive when I heard that they were adapting a story which frankly had no business being adapted. The quality of the show is not only a huge relief, but something that will now forever stand side-by-side with the source material itself. I had my doubts in the first two episodes given the changes that were made, but by the time we were midway through the season it became clear that the creators knew exactly what they were doing. Shoutout to Ramsay, Pascal, and of course Druckmann for being able to pull this all off.
TeaDrinker3000
2023-04-11 12:19:10 +0000 UTCI second the Sopranos. They would love the show.
Orr Malus
2023-04-11 11:51:25 +0000 UTCYou guys should watch Narcos if you haven’t, it’s finished and it’s really good!
Bambina
2023-04-11 11:49:01 +0000 UTCPedro Pascal is a good choice for Joel but even if there was someone 100 times better, they still would have chosen Pedro because of his star power. The TLoU fanbase would have watched the show regardless so what you want to do is cast someone as the lead who can attract a crowd that's not familiar with the game.
Orr Malus
2023-04-11 11:44:22 +0000 UTCI've only played the games so I'm not in this world but where did you hear that from? That sounds wild to me and I feel like I would've heard about it.
tom
2023-04-11 11:34:02 +0000 UTCNo, Lola’s right, they haven’t started filming S2 yet. Probably won’t start filming til the end of the year. Can’t wait to see the casting for it.
Wanda Did Nothing Wrong
2023-04-11 08:32:58 +0000 UTCThe medical community didn’t say anything about a bandage around the arm curing gunshot wounds to the torso tho? Lol. It’s a video game, of course the creators wouldn’t get the actual science completely right. The technicalities of making a vaccine weren’t the point, the whole point was that Joel was willing to sacrifice what’s left of humanity for this person he cares about. I also hate the argument about “why couldn’t they just take samples.” Because we’re 20 yrs into the apocalypse, and no one is a brain surgeon. If the doctor is making a vaccine, then he specialises in immunology, not neurology. They probably didn’t know how to even get to it, without killing her, let alone do it multiple times to get samples to work on, like some people suggest.
Wanda Did Nothing Wrong
2023-04-11 08:28:22 +0000 UTCNot speaking to any opinions, just the facts: The idea that it "wouldn't fix anything" is just emphatically untrue. While it wouldn't cure those already infected, it would drastically reduce the number of infected, instead of always growing/replenishing their numbers. Eventually they would all die out and be overcome by immune humans. It's just not an instant solution, obviously. They still have to actually distribute and administer the vaccinations for one. But healthy humans eventually would win out by sheer numbers. And just because there's a possibility of corruption with regards to controlling the cure doesn't mean it's not a solution, either.
Hollow
2023-04-11 07:56:39 +0000 UTCAt the end Lola said “I don’t think they’ve even started film season 2” Actually they are almost done filming for season 2 this was information we got a week after the world premiere. Which was months ago. So they are most likely done by now. Great reaction!! Love your channel I just joined your patreon to help support❤️
Alexander Foster
2023-04-11 07:29:40 +0000 UTCyou guys should watch the Sopranos. It has the greatest character of all time.

2023-04-11 07:10:31 +0000 UTCJoel was different because they wanted him to be different to the game. A more sentimental type of Joel.
Anto
2023-04-11 05:35:04 +0000 UTCI agree with what joel did but not the lying about it. She didnt even get asked what she wanted to do, its not 100% a working cure(its a chance it could be), who knows how they would give out the cure? Would everyone get it even fedra like it would be a political chess piece for them and they could end up world dictators worse then anything they had before, also the cure would help people from turning but wouldnt help those already infected so people would still die from the billions of infected and people would still be raiding and killing each other it really wouldnt fix anything. I get why he lied to her he is trying to protect her and doesnt want her mad at him but it still sucks all the same but i can completely get behind him in doing what he did even if it was a sure fire cure im sorry but i am taking that choice from my child if it’s selfish then i guess im selfish but thats how i see it. Great reaction!
Robb7e
2023-04-11 03:04:42 +0000 UTCOn a HBO podcast one of the creators Neil Druckman talked about the ending of the game and asked playtesters (people who see if the game is working correctly on a technical level and also story wise) what they thought about the ending. If the player was not a parent, they were 50/50 on Joel's decision, some would side with him and others thought he was the villain. However if the player was a parent, they said they were 100% on Joel's side with no exceptions.
HenryM
2023-04-11 02:28:37 +0000 UTCThis criticism from the medical community has existed since the game came out, and even Dr Mike talked about it in his video a couple of weeks ago. Personally, I think the conversation around whether saving someone you love at the expense of humanity is more interesting than is this medically accurate, so I’m ok with them using some artistic liberties, which every piece of fiction does.
redhawk
2023-04-11 02:10:36 +0000 UTCSeason 2 is expected to come out in 2025
Bryce
2023-04-11 02:10:32 +0000 UTCThe interesting thing to come out of the show is that medical people who have never played the game spoke out after the finale and talked about how reckless the fireflies were. They were willing to perform a surgery with no testing. No blood analysis, no spinal tap, no trying to grow the cells to even see if it would work (a procedure which is difficult even in the best of circumstances apparently). And if this is the person you were waiting for all this time, wouldn't you at least test as much as you can before you kill the patient? They just got her, and immediately put her under for this procedure that they didn't know at all if it would work. And even if it did work, and that's a big if (like Joel said earlier in the show, they have been promising. Miracle cares for years and nothing ever happened).... Marlene could not even organize a car battery or a personnel transfer in Boston successfully. How could she organize a logistical network to distribute a cure worldwide? Nothing about what they were promising was a sure thing. That doesn't make it right for Joel to lie to Ellie, but I will always support him saving her from them.

2023-04-11 01:56:09 +0000 UTC"Suggestions only on finished shows". Really making me hopeful for the chances we get to see their reactions to Monster lol.
Komikall
2023-04-11 01:55:36 +0000 UTCJoe is a terrible actor. Pedro was a much better choice. I think the casting was perfect. The show shined because of the cast.
Farbod
2023-04-11 01:54:01 +0000 UTCJoel lied to Ellie because he knows that she would have sacrificed herself. He knew if he told her the truth she would hate him for it. He made the decision that he loves Ellie and he wont lose another daughter. The rest of the world be damned.
Farbod
2023-04-11 01:51:00 +0000 UTCPersonally I would have gone with Joe Manganiello for Joel. I like Pedro but...his Joel was... different. I grew to accept it but I never really liked it. Bella is nothing like game Ellie. However, she did a good job so I accepted her quicker than I did. Pedro.
Caomhan84
2023-04-11 01:39:36 +0000 UTCBeyond excited for them to meet the new characters in season 2
coolbeans
2023-04-11 01:17:57 +0000 UTCYup, not only do they look alike, but the creators have said in interviews that Bella would act out scenes very similarly to Ashley, without having ever played the game or seen Ashley's performance in them.
Bryce
2023-04-11 01:00:15 +0000 UTCIt is almost as if they cast Bella Ramsey thinking about Ashley Johnson and not Ellie's avatar in the game. Bella and Ashley look like they could be related.
BobJ
2023-04-11 00:56:08 +0000 UTCI love that they call Ellie's moms casting perfect, as that is Ellie's actress from the game.
Bryce
2023-04-11 00:54:50 +0000 UTCI never played the game, but I couldn't imagine them casting this show any better than they did. They cast was perfect. I agree 100%.
BobJ
2023-04-11 00:51:49 +0000 UTCSo is this getting replace with another live action show?
