I have never played the video game, haven’t played video games since high school (I’d barely even heard of the last of us), and honestly my natural reaction to hearing about this show was to roll my eyes because I’m not interested in nerd culture and was annoyed that super talented people’s efforts were being spent on a video game TV show.

Id say I’m much more interesting in watching it than I’m excited about it. I really like a lot of the people involved and HBO seems to be really getting behind it and they rarely seem to miss when they back something so I’m trusting them to make something I’ll like or at the very least appreciate but may not be for me.
