   A good sign for HBO on #TheLastOfUs is they’re at 18m on video on demand alone, in the US alone - the video game franchise 'only' sold ~20m copies worldwide and the TV show is sold internationally to most countries. So they’re breaking out of the game a week in, it’s going to become a monster hit.

     #TheLastofUs has seen a 22% increase in viewers between episodes, the largest ever increase in a U.S. drama. (Normally ratings fall after a big premier). https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/the-last-of-us-episode-2-ratings-viewers-1235499252/

     Gamers are review bombing #TheLastofUs, pages and pages of this on Metacritic and other review sites. Racist dog woofing.

     #TheLastOfUs opener got 4.7m overnight on HBO in US. Outside of Game of Thrones that’s their biggest launch in over ten years. Typically the overnights make 20-40% of total viewers in the US for HBO, and international goes on top.

     The so what is I imagine it will get a second season renewal soon. https://deadline.com/2023/01/the-last-of-us-premiere-draws-4-7m-viewers-1235224124/

     One thing with #TheLastOfUs to know is.. it isn't really a 'video game adaption' in any traditional sense. I remember playing the game in 2013 and thinking 'this is like they made a game of a great TV show'. Can't wait to see the universe expanded.

     HBO provided the first season of #TheLastOfUs to press, and it's come in with a record breaking 97% rating from 61 reviews. Can't wait.

     @GossiTheDog please CW any spoilers if you'll be posting about it! I can't watch it for the first couple of weeks (my wife has uni stuff on) and really don't wanna have the experience ruined. S1 was so damn good.
