>How does the show compare the original video game?

It's a great adaption and a great show, but compared to the video game? The game does it better.

And that's because you are actually playing the character and the time you spend with Ellie is far longer.

Passive experience can't beat an active experience (given that the quality is otherwise equal).

Reply to Who is the best TV psychopath? by EngineeringOk3975

Depends if you just mean the best evil villain, or the most accurate portrayal of the mental disorder of psycopathy. Many of the most iconic evil villains don't even come close to a realistic depiction of psychopathy/sociopathy. Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men is often cited as the best representation of an actual psychopath.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in ‘Succession’ Composer Nicholas Britell: No One Knew It Was the Final Season Until Post-Production by mrnicegy26

“I still as of this moment don’t know the end of the series. I’m midway through scoring it, and I purposefully keep myself in the mystery of it because I like getting surprised and having that audience reaction myself,” Britell, who recently scored “Andor,” “She Said,” and “Succession” producer Adam McKay’s “Don’t Look Up,” said.

From the article.

My only issue with the show is that after episode 2, the infected were a non-issue. The infected had one major moment in E4 and it was a mess.

> How does the show compare the original video game?

It followed the structure of the story perfectly.

> Does it surpass it or does it fall short?

The show makes you form the same emotional connections with the characters. The game had more action.

> What does it gain from being a TV show and what does it long from not being a video game?

The gains are a much larger audience. It is one of the best games ever and more people getting into these types of games is great, as that will just mean more of these games being made.

> Will it lead to more video game adaptations?

Absolutely. Hollywood is the most shameless copy cat business in existence.

> How does the show also compare to the zombie hit The Walking Dead that ended recently?

I dumped TWD in the fourth season. TLOU S1 was better than those four seasons.

> Has it been able to take the space that was previously occupied by that show?

Not at all. TWD is much more open ended. TLOU will be another of the greatest mini-series to exist.

Yes there is a second and third season coming, but unless the writers do some serious alterations that has a finite ending as well.

> How does the show compare to other beloved HBO shows?

It is in the top five.

> Is it better than HBO's other big hit House of Dragon?

Yes

> How does it compare to the critical and awards darling that is Succession?

I don't not have an informed opinion.
