Twenty years after modern civilization has been destroyed, Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone.

Woke garbage. Even Netflix doesn't stink as bad as HBO with their trash propaganda. I mean, Trump won in election, DEI is officially dead in 2025, people moved on from that crap, but apparently HBO is still stuck in Biden's woke crap era and can't move on. They constantly attack us - conservatives in their show. There's a lot of propaganda in this show. Episode 3 of season 1 was the most disgusting thing I have ever …

Had the potential to be great. But it is just mediocre HBO stuff and sometimes really bad. I can't say that the show is bad in general. But it is far from living up to its potential. And episode 3 has show us that it can really suck (no pun intended) at times. I am going to loosely address some reasons for why I think this show is disappointing and not as good as it could be: - Bad casting of main characters, …
