Don't believe anything about George Jones that you saw on that series. Check out Cocaine & Rhinestone Podcast. Season 2 is all about Jones , his music and the people in his life along the way. This is the definitive story of George & Tammy and it is not much like what you are seeing on this miniseries.
I loved the original game, so this is on my radar but I'm going to wait for viewer reviews. Video game adaptations have mostly been horrible, and I have a low opinion of the people in charge of the gaming IP. Then again, it's HBO and they typically bring it. I wouldn't be surprised if was the next House of the Dragon and I also wouldn't be surprised if it was the next Rings of Power.“The Last of Us” starts up Sunday. This should be great.
Agreed on video game being the source material is def suspect. But, the "Chernobyl" director being on board is a great sign I hope. Fingers crossed on this one.I loved the original game, so this is on my radar but I'm going to wait for viewer reviews.

Sounds interesting - thanks

And 35 years old.Looking forward to it although I wish they picked an actress who at least closely resembled Ellie. Of course the actress I would've picked is a dude right now.“The Last of Us” starts up Sunday. This should be great.
“The Last of Us” starts up Sunday. This should be great.
Supposedly they have plans for 3 seasons and done. Seasons 2 & 3 are supposed to cover TLOU2.“The Last of Us” starts up Sunday. This should be great.
97% percent on RT - if they do a season two it'll probably cover the second game which is probably one of the most gripping yet will leave you feeling numb after consuming
(I loved both games but it's far from World War z or resident evil. It delves into themes that might not be suitable for a younger audience)
I turned it off 30 min in. Horrible
Metacritic at 84 at the moment which is a very high score.“The Last of Us” starts up Sunday. This should be great.

I really enjoyed it as well, definitely don't get the hate this show was getting.
Probably a good idea. We stuck it out and it just kept getting more and more frustrating as it went further and further into the Three's Company misunderstanding/compounding stupidity spiral into even more stupidity.
Jeez, I thought the same thing and couldnt take it anymore.
Looks like Mazin from Chernobyl is involved. Did EvilGrin have connection to him?io9 thinks it's amazing.

Ironically, given the dearth of new/good shows, my wife and I started watching Chernobyl as she hasn't seen it.Looks like Mazin from Chernobyl is involved.

Looking forward to the show though. I enjoyed what I played of the game, but, I think I died around 50 times in a row at some spot and eventually just moved on with my life; so, did not complete it. (I’m not that big on video games to begin with, and obviously not good at them.) I guess I’ll find out what happens.
Wife and I planned a trip to Spain around the Jordi Roca episode, eating at his restaurant. Reservations are made a year in advance if I remember correctly. He’s the pastry chef who makes the dessert infused with dirt.
One of the top shows I watched that year.Ironically, given the dearth of new/good shows, my wife and I started watching Chernobyl as she hasn't seen it.Looks like Mazin from Chernobyl is involved.

It's so well done.

Chernobyl is an interesting show in part because different viewers can enjoy it on different levels. My wife and daughter like "true crime" and documentary shows, and this certainly works as a somewhat-fictionalized retelling of the Chernobyl disaster. But the show is really "about" the Soviet Union and how bureaucratic organizations fail. The nuclear disaster is just a backdrop. The show works brilliantly both ways.Ironically, given the dearth of new/good shows, my wife and I started watching Chernobyl as she hasn't seen it.Looks like Mazin from Chernobyl is involved.

Great series.
I think it’s pretty good too. Seeing Giancarlo Esposito playing a likable character is cool.
I’m reading the book now. Can’t wait to see the show.
Yeah watch Succession next.
Thanks.
This may have been one of the most satisfying series I've ever watched. Give it six months or so and then do a re-watch and it gets even better. You described it as a masterpiece, I called it beautiful. I think it's both.
