Fans have hailed the show, especially the premiere episode, as being Emmy-worthy for its superb pacing and visuals. The pilot entices the old fandom while capturing new audiences by sweeping viewers well beyond the story’s prologue. Writer Craig Mazin perfectly captures creator Neil Druckmann’s genius from the original PS3 release. The duo’s masterful execution has earned the show an Emmy nomination in the outstanding drama series category.

Besides giving the dialogue from the game new life, the show does the story’s most iconic moments every bit of live-action justice. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey brought additional depth to the lead characters, keeping viewers engaged and making many look away in the show’s heart-wrenching moments.
