VOD news brings you the best news of the week on Netflix, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+… And yes, the news is weak, but that’s not the only reason we make an exception The last of us, that too. Read on because this week’s review will be short and painless.

HBO Max

So let’s start with HBO Max, where one of the most anticipated series of the year premieres: The last of us. And frankly, you’ll find little else of interest on the platform.

The last of us

The last of us It is, as we have advanced on more than one occasion, one of the most anticipated adaptations like this in general. Nothing more, nothing less than the adaptation of Naughty Dog’s original PlayStation game, one of the highest rated in the history of the medium. What is it about? About survival in a post-apocalyptic world that has been devastated by a pathogen that leaves nothing but death and destruction behind. And monstrous zombies.

Of course, just because the game was awesome doesn’t mean the adaptation is The last of us it will be too. But there’s hope that it’ll come close: it’s an HBO original production, helmed by Neil Druckmann, vice president of Naughty Dog and the franchise’s writer and creative director; and Craig Mazin, director Chernobyl. Both as co-creators of the series. Starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.

When the trailer was announced, I dared to say my opinion, and it wasn’t very flattering: I see the production level as very fair, the cast cracks me up… But as I said at the time, only when you’ve seen something can you judge with a clear conscience. And the good news is that those who have already seen it are anticipating the whole event, so we will have to wait… a few days, it will premiere on HBO Max The last of us Sundays will arrive later in the United States and Spain.

Characteristic, The last of us It’s showing well after midnight in Spain, though it looks like it’ll already be well-dubbed – with the game’s voice actors – for those who prefer to see it that way. That’s why the additions and highlights in this release VOD news AND The last of us is an exception because we’re actually talking about next week’s release. But he leaves on Monday and wait until next Saturday…
