Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGustavo Santaolalla, the music composer for video games The Last of Us (2013) and The Last of Us: Part II (2020), was brought on to compose the series soundtrack.
- GoofsAs with the game, the series' depiction of the cordyceps fungus has some inaccuracies. Overall, the probability of a fungus of this type evolving the need and capability to infect humans is astronomically small. Human brains contain hundreds of thousands of times more neurons compared to an ant brain, and it would be an extraordinarily rapid evolution for cordyceps to gain the ability to infect and take over one. Even if it did, fungal infections are slow, taking a matter of weeks, and nothing like the near-instant transformation depicted; new filaments take some time and energy to produce. All 600 species of Cordyceps which seize control of insect bodies do so to force the host into a humid place where the fungus can feed on the body and spread its spores, so if an evolved cordyceps infected a human and over the course of many days transformed the body into a shambling host, the fungus' end goal would be much the same. Lastly, while insects do gain some level of aggression when infected, they normally do not attack other insects.
- Crazy creditsThe opening titles display a Cordyceps fungus taking on the forms of various landscapes, and finally the forms of Joel and Ellie.
Featured review
Quite overrated, overhyped
I have to say most of the user ratings on IMDB are quite misleading. This is one of them . The storytelling is incoherent, it is messy. It is not about the virus , it is about how the relationship between a man who has lost his child and an immune teenage girl grows. But the story wanders here and there too frequently and loses the plot. If it is trying to be about more than this relationship, just dont attempt it, just focus on the girl and the man , you are nowhere close to getting it dear writers. The plot and the dialogues are absurd and funny sometimes, not realistic given the bacground. While watching this I remembered the episode in the walking dead about the two small girls which moved me deeply. This series is trying to evoke your emotions and appeal to your feelings, but the whole series did not even move as much as that single episode of the walking dead. 7 is for the acting, and the sets, make- up. It is a shame that much better series dont get the attention they deserve. I read how the Boardwalk Empire had to be hastily brough to end due to lack of enough audience and how hard time the Wire producers had to keep the show going. People I suppose are after content bungeable on popcorn , easy to digest, easy to follow without much cognitive effort. Unfortunately that does not leave us with much, but intelectually very hollow series and films. We just went through a global pandemic guys. Come on..
