Fungus among us. If you had no familiarity with the video game that the new HBO series The Last Of Us is based on, you might have some concern this is another zombie post-apocalyptic thing. But it has a unique wrinkle on that formula that sets it apart. And beyond that, it is everything you could hope for from a prestige HBO series - stellar actors (Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Anna Torv), incredible production value, and great writing and directing (continuing the Craig Mazin renaissance started by Chernobyl). The first sequence, basically the first third of the pilot, is can't-look-away great. After that I was a bit more mixed than most, but still very engaged and very much looking forward to the next episode. Thanks for listening.
