This limited-edition collectible steelbook is priced at $45.44 (a 9% saving from the original $49.99). Available at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.

For the uninitiated, season one masterfully adapts the events of the first game and its *Left Behind* expansion, while weaving in additional narrative threads that enrich the overall experience. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (a key figure in the games' creation) penned the scripts, ensuring a seamless transition from screen to small screen.

Pedro Pascal embodies Joel Miller, with Bella Ramsey as Ellie. Adding a delightful layer of authenticity, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson (the game's Joel and Ellie) also appear. The series faithfully follows the original narrative: Joel's cross-country journey with Ellie through a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal pandemic, where Ellie holds the key to humanity's survival.

A personal favorite video game series, *The Last of Us* receives a truly deserving adaptation. For a deeper dive, check out our Season One review.
