The Last of Us: The Complete First Season (4K UHD)

This limited-edition collectible steelbook ($49.99, currently discounted to $45.44 at Amazon) is a must-have. Available at Amazon, Target, and Walmart, it encompasses the entire first season's narrative, mirroring the events of the original game and its *Left Behind* expansion, while incorporating additional storylines that deepen the world. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (a key figure in the game's creation) penned the scripts, ensuring authenticity and creative vision.

Pedro Pascal embodies Joel Miller, with Bella Ramsey as Ellie. Adding a delightful touch, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson (the game's Joel and Ellie) also appear. The series faithfully follows Joel's cross-country journey with Ellie through a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal infection, where Ellie holds the key to humanity's survival.

For those unfamiliar, The Last of Us is a phenomenal video game series, and the show brilliantly captures its essence. For a more detailed breakdown, check out our Season One review.
