Show Notes
We’re deep into pilot season here on The Watchers, and this week we’re wrapping up our post-apocalyptic jaunt with 2023’s HBO drama, The Last of Us. We talk adaptation, genre, parallels, and plot as well as Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann’s relationship, which seems to be at the heart of what makes The Last of Us one of the very few successful video game adaptations out there.
Next week, we’re out of the QZ and back in the office to review Dan Erickson’s sci-fi workplace thriller, Severance. The show is available on AppleTV+
