After only a couple of aired episodes, HBO's latest post-apocalyptic drama thriller series The Last Of Us has already been called one of the best TV shows ever made. Indeed, the recently aired third episode brought the popularity of the show to a whole new level. Sure, it may be hard to fully judge a series without watching all of it, but according to IMDB, The Last Of Us is currently rated as the best TV show of all-time according to user scores. As for figures, the series has garnered 6.4 million viewers in total and ranks above previous smash hit shows like Breaking Bad and Game Of Thrones.
Based on the highly renowned PlayStation video game from 2013 developed by Naughty Dog, the The Last Of Us is set in a post-apocalyptic United States -- 20 years after the world's population has been decimated by a fungal infestation that transforms humans into aggressive zombie-like beings known as the Infected. The show is led by a survivor named Joel Miller (Pedro Pascal) who lives in one of the few quarantine zones and is hired to escort a teenager named Ellie (Bella Ramsey) -- who is believed to be the last hope of humankind -- across wastelands to a safe area.
