The Last of Us considered one of the best video games ever created, going on to sell over 20 million copies as of October 2019, with the latest title The Last of Us Part II selling four million in the first week alone. So it was a no brainer for HBO to put a show together that will show the trials and tribulations of Joel and Ellie perfectly.
