Episode 1 finally premiered on HBO Max, bringing the adventures of Joel Miller and Ellie Williams into live-action. Show creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann made full use of the source material — Druckmann is also the game writer, after all — and Naughty Dog’s video game fans will hardly complain about HBO Max’s faithful adaptation. Still, the producers changed a few details to the appreciated survival story.
Episode 1 showed the cordyceps fungus doesn’t infect people through its airborne spores but rather through its tendrils. “When You’re Lost in the Darkness” introduced the audience to an alternate future where a global pandemic decimated humanity. The main difference is fans won’t see Joel and Ellie use gas masks in the series. Unlike the video game, where the story starts in 2013,series opens with a talk show featuring scientists discussing the threat of a brain-munching fungal plague.
In the series, on the day of Joel’s birthday, Sarah goes out to repair his father’s watch as a gift for his birthday. They spend the evening watching before Sarah falls asleep. Joel then receives a call from Tommy , who asks him to bail him out of jail. When Sarah wakes up, the world is already in havoc. During their escape, a plane crashes, and a flying piece of debris causes the car to crash.
The sad ending is the same. A military man shoots Sarah as she and Joel attempt to get out of town. A few seconds later, Tommy kills the soldier in his turn. Joel tries to stop the bleeding with his bare hands, but he can do nothing but watch his daughter die. In both the game and the series, Joel keeps the watch to honor his daughter’s memory.No, Ellie is not Joel’s daughter, who didn’t survive the pandemic outbreak as seen inEpisode 1.
Meanwhile, in the game, Joel and Tess take on the game’s first major antagonist, Robert, before meeting Ellie. Robert was an arms dealer who double-crossed Joel and Tess to sell their weapons to the Fireflies and ultimately met an ugly end at the hands of Tess.When I'm not feasting my eyes on the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I'm probably watching some MMA fights. I was the first kid in my school to defeat Sin, and I'm proud of that.
