People are raving about a particular TLOU episode for hitting beats S11 was all about, it feels fairly naturally relevant.

I don't think it's by any means a stretch for it to come up semi regularly in the context of the TLOU chatter regardless when it had shots like this or this.

If anything that Last of Us episode felt like a Leftovers episode especially with the Max Richter score but i do agree with you, very similar vibes

Yeah I didn’t think it was very entertaining either. Some good performances but boring overall. I’m loving The Last of Us though.

I watched all of station 11 and loved the episodes with the early days of the outbreak but every time it went back to present day with that stupid traveling shakespeare company I wanted to fast forward.

The outbreak is my favourite part of every pandemic show/movie, especially zombie ones. It’s actually why I’ve been enjoying The Last of Us so much, every episode has had an outbreak flashback.

28 Days Later is the only film I think skipping most of the outbreak made better. The Walking Dead is extra bad because it skipped the outbreak and it copied 28 Days Later’s start exactly

I can see why people like it, but it's strengths are not in action like tlou.

It's very much a post apocalyptic story that has very little interest in the post apocalyptic part.

Well TLOU just proved it has strengths far beyond action.

Sure but it involved the post apocalyptic setting and embraced it instead of just being set dressing like in Station Eleven.

I really liked Station Eleven but the number of posts I see here that make it sound like some kind of cult sleeper hit instead of a massive popular and critical success is very weird. I don't know who these posts are even aimed at. Everyone knows what that show was and almost everyone has already seen it.

Seriously, it's like a cult at this point. The show wasn't even that good after the first episode.

Lmao the level of delusion. This is Reddit it constantly gets bombarded with anything and everything so it really shouldn’t be a real indication on the quality of something. With that said Station Eleven is easily one of the best shows ever and in my top 10
