Pretty good pick, a director from another movie about a shit idea that everyone was afraid to call it for what it was.

Glad they put someone with a proven series under his belt at the helm. The longer format of a series probably works better for TLOU than a movie. However, TWD kinda murdered the zombie genre. That and the steady drove of zombie flicks and shows that have followed. I think that'll work against TLOU. The whole humans being the final boss trope has been done to death now. I expect this to be a solid effort, but dragged down by the overwhelming weight of genre fatigue. The zombie genre just won't die, much like the titular foe.

I agree with much of that. But one saving grace with the setting is that TLOU has super zombies. Pretty far out there ones even with the 2nd game. If they use that property, it can take on a more sci fi, monster show kind of vibe - not just zombies.

Anyway, it will all be down to characters, plot and mood at the end of the day…like any great show.
