The Last Of Us Season 1

The first season of the American post-apocalyptic drama television series ''The Last of Us'' was originally broadcast on HBO between January and March 2023. Based on the video game franchise developed by Naughty Dog, the series is set twenty years into a pandemic caused by a mass fungal infection, which causes its hosts to transform into zombie-like creatures and collapses society. The first season, based on the 2013 game ''The Last of Us'', follows Joel (Pedro Pascal), a smuggler tasked with escorting the immune teenager Ellie (Bella Ramsey) across a post-apocalyptic United States.

Guest stars include Nico Parker as Joel's daughter Sarah, Merle Dandridge as resistance leader Marlene, Anna Torv as Joel's partner Tess, Gabriel Luna as Joel's brother Tommy, Lamar Johnson and Keivonn Montreal Woodard as brothers Henry and Sam, and Melanie Lynskey and Jeffrey Pierce as resistance leader Kathleen and her second-in-command Perry. The season was filmed in Alberta from July 2021 to June 2022. Neil Druckmann, who wrote and co-directed the games, assisted Craig Mazin with scriptwriting the season's nine episodes. The score was composed by Gustavo Santaolalla, who composed for the games, and David Fleming.

''The Last of Us'' received acclaim from critics, who praised the performances, writing, production design, and score; several called it the best adaptation of a video game. It was nominated for several awards, including 24 Primetime Emmy Awards and three Golden Globe Awards. Across linear channels and HBO Max, the series premiere was watched by 4.7 million viewers on the first day—the second-biggest for HBO since 2010—and almost 40 million within two months; by May, the series averaged almost 32million viewers per episode.

Episodes

Production

Development

A film adaptation of Naughty Dog's 2013 video game ''The Last of Us'' was announced in March 2014, to be written by the game's writer and creative director Neil Druckmann; it had entered development hell by 2016, and the partnership ended and rights relinquished by 2019. Due to the extensive development of a film based on ''Uncharted'', another game series by Naughty Dog, Druckmann ensured specific plot points were included when negotiating a deal with film and television studios; he felt more closely connected to ''The Last of Us''s creation and development than ''Uncharted''s and always wanted to be involved in its adaptation in some manner.

In 2018, writer and director Craig Mazin was approached by PlayStation Productions with a list of video games for potential television adaptation; he was disappointed to discover ''The Last of Us'' was being adapted into a film at the time as he felt television was a better fit. A fan of the video game, having played it about twelve times, Mazin was introduced to Druckmann through Shannon Woodward, a mutual friend, in 2019. Druckmann, a fan of Mazin's series ''Chernobyl'', agreed that ''The Last of Us'' required the length and pacing of a television series. They pitched the series to HBO about a week after meeting. HBO chairman and chief content officer Casey Bloys and head of drama programming Francesca Orsi were unfamiliar with the game but trusted Mazin due to his work on ''Chernobyl'' and his investment in the story and world.

In March 2020, a television adaptation was announced in the planning stages at HBO, expected to cover events of the first game. Mazin and Druckmann were named to write and executive produce the series, while television producer Carolyn Strauss and Naughty Dog president Evan Wells were named executive producers, and Gustavo Santaolalla, who worked on the games, the show's composer. The show was announced as a joint production of Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions, and Naughty Dog; it is the first show produced by PlayStation Productions. It is produced under the company name Bear and Pear Productions. Johan Renck, Mazin's collaborator on ''Chernobyl'', was announced as executive producer and director of the series premiere in June 2020; he dropped out by November due to scheduling conflicts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. HBO greenlit the series on November 20. PlayStation Productions's Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan were named executive producers, and Word Games a production company.

In January 2021, the Mighty Mint joined production, and Kantemir Balagov was announced as the pilot episode's director. He had been interested in adapting the game for years and was set to direct several opening episodes; in October 2022, Balagov said he left the project a year prior due to creative differences. Rose Lam was added as executive producer in February 2021. Pre-production in Calgary, Alberta, began on March 15; Mazin arrived in May. Ali Abbasi and Jasmila Žbanić were announced as directors in April.

In July 2021, the Directors Guild of Canada (DGC) revealed Peter Hoar was assigned to direct, followed in August by Mazin, in September by Druckmann, and in January 2022 by Liza Johnson and Jeremy Webb. In February, Druckmann confirmed he directed an episode and felt his experience reinforced and reflected his experience in directing games. After several months traveling between Calgary and Los Angeles, Druckmann struggled to fulfil obligations at Naughty Dog and returned home to advise remotely, feeling confident in Mazin.

''The Last of Us'' is believed to be the largest television production in Canadian history, generating for Alberta and creating 1,490 jobs. The first season's budget of over —more than $10 million per episode—exceeded that of each of ''Game of Thrones''s first five seasons. According to Canadian artists union IATSE 212, the production led to a 30 percent increase in union membership and employment. The season covers the events of the first game and its downloadable expansion '' The Last of Us: Left Behind'' (2014). The season's original ten-episode count was reduced to nine during production; the first two were combined after Bloys felt the first would not compel viewers to return. The first season was produced by Greg Spence and Cecil O'Connor.

Casting

Casting took place virtually through Zoom due to the pandemic. Casting director Victoria Thomas wanted to honor the game without being limited by it. On February 10, 2021, Pascal and Ramsey were cast as Joel and Ellie. Mahershala Ali was reportedly considered for Joel, and Mazin spoke with Matthew McConaughey for the role. Candidates considered for Ellie for the canceled film adaptation—such as Maisie Williams and Kaitlyn Dever—had aged out of consideration by the time the series was in production. The producers sought actors who could embody Joel and Ellie individually and imitate their relationship. Though both were featured on HBO's ''Game of Thrones'', Pascal and Ramsey had not met before the filming of ''The Last of Us'' began but found they had instant chemistry, which developed over production.

Mazin and Thomas sought high-profile guest stars; Thomas said many of the actors "don't usually do one-episode guest spots". Luna's casting as Tommy was announced on April 15, 2021, and Dandridge was confirmed to reprise her role of Marlene from the video games on May 27. In May, Classic Casting circulated a casting call for extras from Calgary, Fort Macleod, High River, and Lethbridge; anyone over 18 could apply, and those with vehicles from 1995 to 2003 were recommended. It was announced Parker was cast as Sarah on June 30. Pierce, Bartlett, and Con O'Neill's casting as Perry, Frank, and Bill was announced on July 15, followed by Torv's as Tess on July 22. On December 7, Bartlett claimed Offerman would appear on the show in a role close to his; two days later, Offerman was announced to be playing Bill, replacing O'Neill who dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. On December 9, Žbanić revealed the casting of Greene, Miles, and Wesley.

Reid's casting as Riley was announced on January 14, 2022. In February, Mazin distributed a casting call for a boy aged 8–14 who is deaf, black, and proficient in American Sign Language or Black American Sign Language; Deaf West Theatre confirmed this was for the character of Sam, to appear in two episodes filmed in March and April. In June, Druckmann announced Baker and Ashley Johnson would star in the series; their character names were revealed in December. Lamar Johnson and Woodard's casting as Henry and Sam was announced in August, alongside the official announcement of Greene and Miles as Marlon and Florence. Lynskey's casting as Kathleen was announced alongside the teaser trailer in September, while Shepherd's casting was revealed in the first trailer in December. Wesley's role as Maria was announced on January 9.

Writing

A post-apocalyptic drama and thriller, the series was written by Mazin and Druckmann; Mazin wrote all episodes except the premiere and finale, which he co-wrote with Druckmann, and the seventh episode, written by Druckmann. Druckmann was convinced Mazin was the ideal creative partner for the series after witnessing his passion for the game's story; Druckmann referred to Mazin as the story's "co-parent". Mazin said the series may represent a paradigm shift for film and television adaptations of video games due to the strength of the narrative, noting "it would only take BO executives20 minutes on Google to realize ''The Last of Us'' is the ''Lawrence of Arabia'' of video game narratives". The writers avoided making "a zombie show", acknowledging the infected creatures were a vessel through which characters are pressured to make interesting decisions and reveal their true selves. While Druckmann was not able to "unplug" from the characters during the games' development due to the medium's immersive nature, he felt he was able to do so when writing for television.

Druckmann felt the most important element of adapting the game was to "keep the soul", particularly character relationships, whereas gameplay and action sequences were of minimal importance. Mazin said the changes were "designed to fill things out and expand". Content cut from the game was added to the show, including the story of Ellie's mother, Anna, which Mazin found "gorgeous". Druckmann said some scripts borrow dialogue directly from the game, while others deviate; some of the game's action-heavy sequences were changed to focus on character drama at HBO's encouragement. He said the series took the opposite approach to adaptation than ''Uncharted'' (2022), which tells a new story with game homages to give "an ''Uncharted'' flavor", whereas ''The Last of Us'' is a closer adaptation, allowing alterations such as changing character perspectives. The writers found the series an opportunity to delve into backstories of characters who the game otherwise ignored, wanting to better understand their motivations. Mazin compared the process to adapting a novel, with identical emotional beats despite different narrative events.

Druckmann was open to changing aspects of the games but wanted a strong reason, ensuring he and Mazin considered impacts on later events. The game's outbreak takes place in 2013 with its post-apocalyptic narrative in 2033; this was changed to 2003 and 2023 as the writers felt matching the story to the broadcast period was more interesting and changed little of the story. They added the outbreak's origins to ground the narrative; following COVID-19, they recognized audiences are more knowledgeable about viral pandemics. Borrowing an approach from ''Chernobyl'', Mazin opened the series with a fictional 1960s talk show explaining the origins of fungal infections, implying humanity knew the potential risk for some time. The writers removed spores—the vector through which infection spreads in the games—and replaced it with tendrils forming a unified network, inspired by the idea of mycelium. They felt spores were an unrealistic threat while an interconnected network increased tension, and gas masks did not translate well into television. Visually, the fungal infection was inspired by jellyfish stings after Žbanić sent an image to Mazin during preproduction.

Filming

Approximately was spent on production ($71 million on salaries and wages, and $70 million at local businesses) and over 1,000 businesses in Alberta were supported. Calgary officials felt Alberta was chosen for production partly due to the removal of the tax credit cap of per project. Supervising location manager Jason Nolan began preparation work in January 2021, leading a 115-person team that found and transformed more than 180 locations. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, cast and crew quarantined for two weeks after entering Canada.

Ksenia Sereda worked as cinematographer alongside Balagov, Mazin, Druckmann, and Johnson, Eben Bolter with Hoar and Webb, Christine A. Maier with Žbanić, and Nadim Carlsen with Abbasi. Sereda used an Alexa Mini with Cooke Optics S4 lenses, as did Bolter, who found it effective for handheld shots while emulating 35 mm film. The series filmed for 200 days, with around 18–19 days per episode, amounting to 2–3 pages of script per day.

Filming began in Calgary, Alberta, on July 12, a week later than originally scheduled. It moved to High River and Fort Macleod—replicating Austin, Texas, for the first episode—before moving to Calgary in August. Balagov completed production by August 30, and Hoar on October 5. Around was spent for a four-day shoot in Downtown Edmonton in October, including at Rice Howard Way and the Alberta Legislature Building. Filming took place in downtown Calgary and Beltline later in October. Druckmann's episode was completed by November 7. In November, production occurred in Canmore, Alberta, replicating Jackson, Wyoming, and at Mount Royal University and the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology. Žbanić completed production by December 9.

In January 2022, Northland Village Mall in northwest Calgary was decorated for production. Filming took place in Okotoks and Waterton Lakes National Park in February, and Airport Trail in northeast Calgary saw closures for three days in March. Webb's episodes entered production in March 2022 and continued until the end of principal photography in June. Calgary was used to replicate Kansas City, Missouri in March. Production continued in Calgary in April and May, including around the Calgary Courts Centre, Kensington, and Victoria Park. Reshoots for Texas scenes took place in Olds in late May and early June, and High River in June. Production concluded in the early hours of June 11, two days later than originally scheduled; Additional photography took place in Kansas City on October 4.

Music

Santaolalla and David Fleming composed the score for the television series; the former wrote its opening theme. He said Latino viewers "will recognize touches" of his music, and drew on his experiences in film and television, having composed the themes and some tracks for '' Jane the Virgin'' (2014–2019) and ''Making a Murderer'' (2015–2018). He primarily recrafted his previous work instead of creating new music, focusing on elements he found interesting. Fleming's work was inspired by real-world sounds within a decayed civilization. A 66-track soundtrack album for the series was released digitally on February 27.

The first episode uses songs like " Tomorrow" by Avril Lavigne and "White Flag" by Dido to foreshadow Sarah's fate and Joel's character arc. Its final scene and credits feature the song "Never Let Me Down Again" by Depeche Mode, which Mazin chose due to its blend of upbeat sounds and dark lyrics; the song returned in the sixth episode, performed by Mazin's daughter Jessica, to demonstrate Ellie feeling let down by Joel. The third episode uses "Long, Long Time" by Linda Ronstadt, which exhibits themes of unfulfilled love and how time heals wounds, echoing Bill and Frank's relationship. Streams of the song increased significantly following the episode's broadcast; several outlets compared it to the 2022 resurgence of Kate Bush's " Running Up That Hill" after its use in the fourth season of ''Stranger Things''.

The fourth episode's title references the lyrics of "Alone and Forsaken" by Hank Williams, which is used in the episode; it was previously used in the original game and one of its trailers, and a trailer for the television series. The seventh episode features "All or None" by Pearl Jam to represent Ellie's loneliness and uncomfortability, reuses Etta James's version of " I Got You Babe" from ''The Last of Us: Left Behind'' as its romantic lyrics hidden by joyous music mirrored the feelings of Ellie and Riley, and uses A-ha's "Take On Me" to reflect their feelings towards each other and illustrate Ellie's journey; a cover version of "Take On Me" was used in a trailer for the series, and Ellie performs the song in ''The Last of Us Part II''.

Design

The production team included five art directors and hundreds of technicians. The game's art director, concept artists, and environment artists provided feedback on costumes and sets. Costume designer Cynthia Ann Summers found the series more difficult than outfit-focused media like fantasy or period pieces as the costumes had to be integral to the story without standing out. She ensured Joel's outfits demonstrated a lack of consideration, as he places little thought into his appearance; Mazin demanded specific colours. Summers required around 30 duplicates of each outfit to account for elements like blood and dirt progression, stunt doubles, and reserves. The breakdown department, responsible for disfiguring outfits as required by the story, was led by Sage Lovett. At Mazin's request, Summers and her team focused on minor details relevant to apocalyptic settings, like shoelaces replacing belts. Pascal and Ramsey were happy to wear regular outfits as they had both worked on science-fiction and period pieces.

Production designer John Paino referenced the video game but focused on references used by Naughty Dog during development. He created an image collage which included a photograph of reassembled chairs, which Mazin considered the show's mandate: "the built world is unbuilt and rebuilt". Paino found several Canadian towns had similarities to American architecture, particularly Texas. He was unable to locate empty and abandoned buildings or location imitating Boston's brick-lined streets for the first two episodes, requiring manual transformation and constructions. Paino and his team constructed the Boston quarantine zone near Stampede Park over several months for the first episode, the town of Lincoln in around six to twelve weeks for the third, and the Kansas City cul-de-sac in nine weeks for the fifth.

Barrie and Sarah Gower, with whom Mazin had worked on ''Chernobyl'', were engaged to create the prosthetics for the infected. Barrie Gower appreciated the series avoided "stereotypical zombies—the pronounced cheekbones, sunken eyes, lots of blood and gore". The production team created a large reference library for "fuzz, slime mold, shelf mushrooms, button mushrooms, different textures and colors". Mazin wanted the clickers to resemble the in-game design through prosthetics; he felt using visual effects would have lessened their impact. Their team found themselves continually referring to the original concept art from the game. For the approximately 70 actors portraying the infected mob in the fifth episode, 70 artists applied prosthetics to about 30 people in each three-hour shift. The bloater suit was coated in a gel-like liquid during filming to appear wet and reflective. Paul Becker and Terry Notary choreographed the series. Notary wanted the creatures' movements to imitate each other, akin to schools of fish; for the fifth episode, he set up a boot camp to prepare the actors for the role. Misty Lee and Phillip Kovats, who had worked on the games, returned to voice the clickers for the series.

Post-production

The series was edited by Timothy A. Good and Emily Mendez; Mark Hartzell edited the second episode, and Cindy Mollo edited the eighth. After Mazin worked on ''Chernobyl'', Good expressed interest in collaborating; the two had been friends for some time. A different editor was employed for ''The Last of Us'' but departed due to scheduling conflicts; Good joined the series after finishing work on the third season of ''The Umbrella Academy''. Mendez worked on the third episode as Good's assistant editor; he showed her work to Mazin, and they agreed for Mendez to co-edit the seventh episode as it adapted ''Left Behind'', her favorite part of the games. She continued as Good's co-editor for the fifth, sixth, and ninth episodes. Good chose not to play the game and let the dailies instruct his emotional instincts; Mendez and Mazin gave him details when necessary. Mendez was tasked with the temporary sound design, using her own library and sound effects from the game. Good used Santaolalla's soundtrack from the game as the temp score during editing and found it influenced his decisions.

Sixteen visual effects teams worked on the series, supervised by Alex Wang. The season had over 3,000 visual effects shots; most episodes had around 250. The 650-person team at DNEG worked on 535 shots for the series over 18 months, primarily focusing on environmental effects, including the scenes set in Boston, Kansas City, Jackson, and Salt Lake City; field trips were conducted to gather resources, and the team regularly referenced the video games. The visual effects teams consulted with Naughty Dog's concept artists when creating the infected, and used timelapse videos of ''Cordyceps'' growth as animation references. All studios worked on the fifth episode's action sequence; the episode had around 350 to 400 visual effects shots. Wētā FX created the infected effects; 50 to 70 creatures were digitally added to the horde. Design studio Elastic created the show's title sequence to demonstrate the "unrelenting nature" of the fungus; creative directors Andy Hall and Nadia Tzuo researched fungi to ensure an accurate depiction and movement. They pitched several ideas to Mazin and Druckmann before settling on the realistic depiction; Mazin enjoyed the idea of the fungus appearing beautiful despite its destructive nature.

Release

Broadcast and home media

While the series was originally indicated to begin airing in 2022, Bloys denied this in February 2022 and clarified it would begin in 2023, which was confirmed in the first teaser trailer. Following leaks from Sky and HBO Max, on November 2, 2022, HBO announced the series would premiere in the United States on January 15, 2023, and released the first official poster. The season was broadcast on HBO in the United States, and is available to stream in 4K resolution on HBO Max; it was released on Binge in Australia, Crave in Canada, HBO Go and Now TV in Hong Kong, Disney+ Hotstar in India, U-NEXT in Japan, Neon in New Zealand, HBO Go in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, and Sky Group channels and Now in Germany and Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The first episode received its red carpet world premiere in Westwood, Los Angeles, on January 9, followed by theater screenings in Budapest and Sydney on January 11, and New York City on January 12. Behind-the-scenes videos, titled ''Inside the Episode'', were released on HBO Max and YouTube following each episode, and Naughty Dog released ''Building The Last of Us'', featuring interviews with the cast and crew of the series and games. The season was released digitally and on DVD, Blu-ray, and Ultra HD Blu-ray in the United Kingdom on July 17, and in the United States on July 18; a SteelBook version was available in the United Kingdom. The release contains behind-the-scenes featurettes including a short film about adapting the game, a conversation with microbiology and parasitology experts, and the ''Inside the Episode'' series.

Promotion

''The Last of Us''s marketing campaign utilised "breadcrumb content": small teases to maintain engagement. Emily Giannusa, HBO vice president of marketing, planned promotional material featuring game comparisons and endorsements from Naughty Dog to prove faithfulness to the source, but discovered it was unnecessary as fans created it themselves. The marketing team conducted social listening from 2020 to identify non-gaming influencers interested in the series, leading to partnerships with celebrities like actress Felicia Day and rapper Logic; custom merchandise was sent to fans and influencers who expressed excitement about the series. Based on their experience on ''Game of Thrones'' and with its fandom, Giannusa focused promotion around the audience, noting "authentic marketing" requires flexibility based on reactions. Druckmann endorsed social and pre-release content, and Mazin worked directly with the marketing team, including creative director Badger Denehy, who edited several trailers.

For ''The Last of Us'' Day on September 26, 2021, HBO shared the first image of Pascal and Ramsey in costume, followed by the first still frame at Summer Game Fest on June 10, 2022. The first footage of the show was revealed in a HBO Max trailer during the premiere of ''House of the Dragon'' on August 21, featuring Pascal, Ramsey, Parker, and Offerman. The first teaser trailer for the show was released for ''The Last of Us'' Day on September 26, 2022, featuring the first footage of Luna, Dandridge, Torv, and Reid, and confirming Lynskey's casting; the teaser, which used Hank William's "Alone and Forsaken", received over 17 million views in less than 24 hours across Twitter and YouTube, and over 57 million organic views in its first 72 hours, the most-watched promotional video in HBO's history, outperforming ''House of the Dragon'' by 50 percent. A short clip of Joel and Ellie hiding from a clicker was released on November 16 to tease the show's appearance at CCXP the following month. Eleven character posters were released on November 30.

Dandridge, Druckmann, Luna, Mazin, Pascal, and Ramsey appeared on a panel at CCXP on December 3, where the first full trailer was released, revealing the appearances of Shepherd, Baker, and Ashley Johnson; according to Giannusa, this marked the promotional campaign "kicking into high gear" as the series drew discussion from audiences unfamiliar with the games. Giannusa's team noticed broader audiences were drawn towards cast portraying unusual characters, leading to focus on actors like Offerman and Pascal in subsequent marketing. HBO Latin America recreated an overgrown version of the fictional Boston Museum at the Warner Bros. Discovery booth on the CCXP convention floor, featuring clickers and other Easter eggs. This inspired similar installations for the premiere events in London, Los Angeles, and New York, which used 3D scans of infected provided by Barrie Gower. HBO and advertising agency Giant Spoon recreated items from 2003 at the Angelika Film Center in Manhattan for the premiere in January 2023, attended by 1,500 people over seven screenings; attendees were given wearable Firefly pendants.

Pascal, Ramsey, Baker, and Ashley Johnson presented at The Game Awards 2022 on December 8. HBO announced Baker would host a companion podcast alongside the series, featuring Mazin and Druckmann. In January 2023, Pascal and Ramsey were featured on the cover of ''The Hollywood Reporter'', while Pascal was on the cover of '' Wired''. HBO released the first behind-the-scenes featurette on January 6, and several press outlets published interviews with cast and crew based on roundtable discussions from the previous month. Ramsey appeared on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' alongside a clip from the series on January 9, and on ''The Late Late Show with James Corden'' on January 10. A season trailer was released after the airing of the first episode on January 15. The decision to develop ''The Last of Us Part I''—a remake of the original game—was partly based on the potential to introduce show viewers to the games; it was released for PlayStation 5 in September 2022, and for Windows in March 2023. A two-hour trial was made available for PlayStation Plus Premium members after the season premiere.

HBO utilised virtual marketing for the series, including a lens on Snapchat adding post-apocalyptic overgrowth to worldwide landmarks, such as Grauman's Chinese Theatre and the Storting building.
Google released an Easter egg in late January, adding mushrooms to the screen when searching for ''The Last of Us'' or ''Cordyceps''. On January 27, the first episode was released for free on HBO Max in the United States, and on Sky's YouTube channel in the United Kingdom. To promote the third episode, Bartlett appeared on ''The Late Show with Stephen Colbert'' on January 30, and Offerman on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' on February 1. Pascal appeared on ''The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'' on February 2, and hosted ''Saturday Night Live'' on February 4; a viral skit from the latter featured Pascal portraying Mario in a "prestige drama" based on the ''Mario Kart'' series inspired by HBO's ''The Last of Us''. Pascal appeared on ''Late Night with Seth Meyers'' on February 15, ''The Graham Norton Show'' on February 24, and ''Hot Ones'' on March 9; the release of ''The Last of Us'' overlapped the promotion and release of ''The Mandalorian''s third season. A 31-minute special chronicling the production of the series aired on HBO after the finale on March 12. Ramsey appeared on ''The Jonathan Ross Show'' on March 18.

Reception

Critical response

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, ''The Last of Us'' has an approval rating of 96% based on 484 critics' reviews, with an average rating of 8.75 out of 10. The website's general consensus reads, "Retaining the most addictive aspects of its beloved source material while digging deeper into the story, ''The Last of Us'' is bingeworthy TV that ranks among the all-time greatest video game adaptations." Metacritic calculated a weighted average of 84 out of 100 based on 43 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Several reviewers considered it the best adaptation of a video game, with ''GameSpot''s Mark Delaney saying it "feels like the beginning of a new era" for the genre.

Reviewers praised the differences from the original game's narrative implemented by Mazin and Druckmann, and some believed the scenes lifted directly from the game were among the weakest and led to issues with pacing. ''Variety''s Daniel D'Addario felt the show relied too heavily on action sequences, while '' TechRadar''s Axel Metz wanted more action. ''IGN''s Simon Cardy wrote the series "often shines brightest" during its quietest moments. Critics overwhelmingly considered the third episode the season's best, and some named it among the greatest episodes of television overall. ''The Hollywood Reporter''s Daniel Fienberg felt it elevated the series to a new level, and ''Empire''s John Nugent called it "moving, surprisingly romantic, and one of the finest hours of television in recent memory". Some critics found the first episode well-made but too familiar, and ''/Film''s Valerie Ettenhofer considered it the season's weakest. ''RogerEbert.com''s Brian Tallerico found the final two episodes rushed.

Several critics lauded the production design. ''Digital Spy''s David Opie wrote "every set feels like it was ripped straight out of the game". Conversely, ''Slant Magazine''s Pat Brown felt environments appeared too manicured and carefully placed. ''Inverse''s Dais Johnston praised the use of lighting to highlight the humanity of both the characters and creatures, and called the cinematography "something other video game adaptations could only dream of". ''TV Guide''s Keith Phipps called the series "visually striking", and ''IGN''s Cardy wrote it "is often a sight to behold". Santaolalla's score received praise, with ''CNET''s Sean Keane feeling it added "a yearning of sadness to the narrative".

The cast's performances received widespread acclaim, with critics singling out the chemistry between Pascal and Ramsey for praise. ''Evening Standard''s Vicky Jessop said the two "steal every scene they're in", while ''Rolling Stone''s Alan Sepinwall called them "compulsively watchable and almost instantly endearing". ''Empire''s Nugent and ''/Film''s Ettenhofer referred to Pascal's performance as the best of his career, citing his ability to portray nuance and rare vulnerability. ''TechRadar''s Metz described him as the "perfect real-world manifestation" of Joel. Several critics found Ramsey gave the show's breakout performance for their balance of comedy and emotion, with ''Time''s Judy Berman calling them "the show's greatest asset" and ''IGN''s Cardy applauding them for "making heirmark" on Ellie, a character already considered iconic long before Ramsey's portrayal. Some critics considered the seventh episode Ramsey's strongest.

Guest performances throughout the season were highly praised. For the premiere, ''Rolling Stone''s Sepinwall lauded Parker for "holding the screen" and establishing Sarah as likeable, and '' Push Square''s Aaron Bayne wrote Luna flawlessly "slips into the role" with little screen time. '' Den of Geek''s Bernard Boo found Torv in the second episode sophisticated and heartbreaking. Offerman and Bartlett's performances were described by '' Complex''s William Goodman as "career-best" and by ''Inverse''s Johnston as Emmy-worthy. Lynskey's performance in the fourth and fifth episodes was praised for juxtaposing humanity and viciousness. For the fifth episode, ''IGN''s Cardy lauded Johnson's emotional performance in his final scene, and '' Total Film''s Bradley Russell felt the naivety of Woodard's role intensified the narrative. Critics enjoyed Pascal and Luna's chemistry in the sixth episode, and Ramsey and Reid's in the seventh; '' Bleeding Cool''s Tom Chang called the latter two "award-worthy", and ''Push Square''s Bayne felt Reid effectively captured Riley's sense of "youthful pride". ''The A.V. Club''s David Cote called Shepherd's performance "masterful in its wry, understated charm".
