(CNN Spanish) — After more than a year of waiting since we saw the first image of the series, The Last of Us finally premiered this Sunday night in Mexico and the United States.
Pedro Pascal (as Joel) is one of the protagonists of The Last of Us, which is the most recent and ambitious bet of HBO Max in the audiovisual world. This production also stars Bella Ramsey (as Ellie).
After the premiere of the first episode, critics on sites like Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb already favor the series in a great way, since it has an average rating of 99% and 9.6, respectively.
The initial and future success of The Last of Us will largely fall on the performances of Ramsey and Pascal, who in the series develop in a hostile and violent world that has been devastated by a virus that makes people infected.
Just as Ramsey has already worked on widely acclaimed productions such as Game of ThronesPascal has done the same in that same series and in The Mandalorianwhere he is the protagonist.
