The Last of Us TV Series Handed 24 Nominations at The Emmy Awards

Well deserved. I dont like much current tv output, but this was obviously finely crafted and I believe it deserves recognition.

Pretty impressive PlayStation films studios must be happy. High ratings and viewerships.

Putting it against Succession is fairly laughable. It was ok. It was just ok. I’d only really point to that episode with Nick Offerman being anything more than ok. Succession and The White Lotus are well-written, prevalent and more than anything, original. The game always felt like somebody trying to turn an Oscar-bait movie into a video game and now the show has basically proven that.

The Guest Actor/Actress categories are all either TLoU or Succession. That’s pretty impressive.

Deserved. Did think it was a bit rushed overall, but the quality is undeniable. I probably preferred Succession & Better Call Saul a bit more, but I reckon knowing how the story played out probably had an impact.

HBO are absolutely crushing it though.

Nothing for music? Gustavo Santaolalla a freaking legend in my book.

@nessisonett every time I read your comments I feel like my poop don’t stink.

Despite adoring both games I've yet to see a single episode but I do have a 4K copy reserved in HMV for the 17th next Monday

I thought it was a poor adaption of the game. It looked the part - the set design was excellent - but they butchered the story and the pacing was all over the place. I didn’t feel anything for any of the characters (except maybe Bill) and the infected were hardly used. A few more episodes would have helped flesh out the story/characters because we lost two full episodes to Bill’s story and Left Behind. But I was pretty underwhelmed with what we actually got. I expected much more from HBO and ND tbh.

@Beerheadgamer82 It's pretty great if you don't nitpick everything little thing like most do. It's not perfect but overall I was pretty happy with it.

@StrawberryTurtle yeah, I’m here thinking I must not remember the game as well as I thought. I geeked when Joel picked up the Sniper Rifle because that’s one of my favorite sequences from the game. In my opinion, it was such a great adaptation of the game.

So between this, Succession and White Lotus, looks like yet another year where HBO absolutely curb stomps the Emmys

@Splat should really enjoy it? but I'm expecting 1 maybe 2 episodes of the 9 to not be as good as the rest and that's fine and expected. I did read some saying that certain points of the game felt a bit rushed in the episodes. As long as the overall feel of all 9 episodes are satisfying and pleasing all will be good. Expecting the live action scenes overall to feel a little different looking than what a video game does, that's normal. Looking forward to it no matter what. Adore the TLoU games and really want a part3 so bloody much

@PegasusActual93 The HBO name carries so much weight I still can't believe they named their streaming service MAX... and took the HBO brand out of it... you know the name that is synonymous with high quality television.

Also, yes this show was fantastic and deserves the recognition. Succession is great as well but watching corporate stooges act like petty jerks wears on you after a while.

Kind of shocked honestly. Pedro for sure, and everyone involved in the Bill/Frank episode absolutely deserve Emmys, but the show overall was lacking and poorly paced/edited, and Ramsey, no,...not so much in my opinion.

It's a solid foundation either way though, i just worry they will sacrifice and pad out to fit potential longer term lifespan of the show rather than tell the story in its compelling story with expanded context. I think this project should be if it already hasn't been explicitly stated so, a mini series.

Episode 3 deserves all the awards

@Kidfried I’m just a random person, I don’t think anybody involved with the show cares how respectful I’m being. The Last of Us was novel for a game in 2013 given that it felt like a Hollywood movie as a game. Turning that back into a Hollywood production exposed it for what it is, a shallow imitation of other projects utilising barebones tropes that’s lapped up by audiences as it’s not challenging in any conceivable way. I guess it’ll be fun to see a second season given it will inevitably reignite debates over the writers actually daring to say something.

I loved it but it wasn't perfect. It rushed the ending. They added more context to Bills arch and enjoyed that episode but was it worth it to rush the ending like they did?

The show wasn't thiiiis good.

@Kidfried Criticism is dead then. What’s the point of it all. This site should pack up and close if you aren’t allowed to have your own thoughts and opinions on media. Treating creators with respect is things like not telling them that they’re crap to their face or criticising things without giving reasons. It’s not giving everything glowing reviews to spare their feelings. You might as well just delete your entire thread of getting a ‘best game ever’ because then that’s surely being disrespectful of every single creator that doesn’t win.

Every nomination well earned. Easily the best video game adaptation there's ever been.

@naruball this!! Episode 3 was an example of the series taking something from the game and improving it! One of the best episodes of not just the series, but television in general of all time.
I know I've disagreed a hell of a lot with you in the past but on this I couldn't agree more. I cannot wait for season 2.

@Kidfried I called the Emmy awards committee ‘laughable’. There’s a reason why the Oscars splits original screenplays and adapted screenplays, they’re completely different, especially in levels of creativity.

Wasn't that good, very enjoyable though

It's wasn't that good it mostly done the job but there was much better shows this last year

While it wasn't perfect (what is?) Season 1 was a fantastic achievement. Acting, script and adaptation of the story were all spot on. Editing and pacing could have been better but it didn't affect the viewing experience in my opinion.

All nominations are well deserved and I wish them all the best.

eh, the show was pretty middle of the road. Doesn't surprise me that the media is fawning over it for little reason.

They should have been nominated for best random thing when Joel picks up a gun AND looks for ammo on a corpse in the last episode. This happens so rarely in a film of TV series, they deserve an award for this.

Also the best giraffe nomination is missing

@somnambulance Succession is in my opinion one of the best TV dramas since The Wire and The Sopranos. I think it'll offer pretty stiff competition.

@pip_muzz always happy to agree on something! (or to respectfully disagree). It's such a powerful episode, I've showing it to all my friends and so far everyone's loved it.

I can’t believe Paddy Considine wasn’t nominated for his role in House of the Dragon. His performance was far more powerful than anything seen in TLoU show. Clearly a case of who you know.

One of the things I didn’t like about TLoU show was that it felt like it was more about the actors than the characters in the game. Thandiwe Newtons daughter being cast as Sarah and the pointless extended scenes with her, to give her more screen time, is a prime example. It felt like they were using TLoU as a vehicle to boost certain actors careers, rather than it being a genuinely good show.

Show was dissapointing mostly. I would say it was just above average. I freaking love the game but funnily enough the show was overrated.
