Welcome to Fanalytics, where we take the fan’s love for their cherished titles and feed that love into the data machine for cold hard stats. Today we’re looking at Sky’s The Last of Us: one of the most anticipated video game adaptations in history. It’s a heartbreaking journey through the beautifully cinematic backdrop of post-apocalyptic America, where the humans that remain struggle to hold onto their humanity.
The Last of Us stars Pedro Pascal as Joel, a cynical smuggler tasked with transporting Ellie – played by Bella Ramsey – from one side of the US to the other. But with a deadly, contagious infection that turns people into disfigured monsters, the journey has more than a few obstacles.
Naturally, the fans will have some strong opinions about the new TV show. We gathered together a collection of Last of Us super fans and took them to a screening of episode 1 so we could grill them for data on their first impression.
