I believe the game came out closer to 2013, like smack dab in between '03 and '23. The show is astonishingly close to how the game plays out, but in my opinion it's even better. And the game was already fantastic, so you're in for a ride.

Yes the game came out in October 2013, 20 years later was 2033 in the game.

The actress who played Marlene is actually the same in the game. Other cast members are also in guest roles in the series. I'm sure people will tell you who's who after you post the episodes.

I've seen a lot of people complaining about the casting for ellie, but I am a fan of the game, and I really think bella is brilliant, no spoilers but it shows even more at the end of the season. these people who claim "bella doesn't look like ellie enough" annoy me. theres a video with ashley and bella side to side presenting an award as (both) ellie, and the resemblance is there. well, for me, the whole show was amazing! I missed some scenes they didn't put in, but of course they couldn't fit it all in a season. excited for season 2!!! 🥰

Huge fan of the games here it's my favorite games series of all time. This HBO show adaptation was good, and except for a few changes, it actually stayed very close to the original source material(the games narrative) I was satisfied with it they did a wonderful job(a highlight of this show is Episode 3, it's one of the best episodes in television history) I personally will always prefer the games over the show. But I'm happy that other people who maybe are not gamers get to experience the incredible world, and story of The Last Of Us☺ Btw no spoilers, but to answer some of the general points/questions you had. The original first game came out on the PS3 in 2013, and yes in the game their was also 20 year time jump which in the game put it in 2033, The TV show just changed the time frame of when the outbreak occurred to 2003. Also yes the 14 year old girl Ellie is immune to the cordyceps fungus as you saw at the end the scanner turned red and she has a bite mark on her arm, but incredibly she is not showing any symptoms of the infection. Thank you for your awesome reaction I will look forward to seeing the rest of your reactions.

Yep, this is an excellent adaptation. Part 1 was universally loved while Part 2 massively divided opinion. But I won't spoil why that is! Personally, I think Part 1/Season 1 was always the best story out of the two - so enjoy.

Amazing show and thx for the vid. The show is very faithful to the story of the games, the writing, acting and directing in the games is the greatest I have ever seen for a video game. As a fan of the game since before it released, the show lives up to expectations. Just some spoiler free info: The original game was released in 2013. Part 2 of the game series was released in 2020, and then the show was announced that same year to be adapting the first game's story as a show because the game's stories take a long time to play through. Part 2 adaptation is being made now and will be split into two seasons because the second game is much longer than the first. Also, one of the co-directors of the game series is a executive producer of the show, so I have no worries about the show at all. The future of one of my favorite series is bright, welcome to the club! Be very careful for spoilers!

This was a fantastic game to turn into a series. It takes the story from the game and expands it for us. Such an emotional story in either form. After finishing this I'd suggest watching a cutscene compilation from the game. A good comparison for you.

The title sequence is done by the same company that did Game of Thrones, so it's not too surprising that you saw similarities. Season one was shot in Alberta, but season two is shooting in BC.

They chose 2003 because it was one of the hottest years on record for the world but especially for the country that is tv-canonically the outbreak country. And the ignoring signs was more appropriate in this show because the technology didn't exist. No social media, no cell phones really, no way to find out but word of mouth and tv and phones that are functionally tied to to the house. The money is what money used to look like before US dollars were redesigned. You must be a younger' or otherwise I am very old. Ellie is 14. I'm pretty sure they bring it up during the episode at some point.
