The Last of Us 1x1 REACTION!! "When You're Lost in the Darkness" 

I want you to know that a lot of people are reacting to The Last of Us right now, and EVERYONE has played the game first. it's SO refreshing to see you doing it without any previous knowledge. THATS what we're here for genuine reactions. Thanks for hanging with us!

16:34 "You don't live in the hood do you? Just helicopters flying around" Bro 😂😂😂😂😭😭

They aren't zombies, who die, then come back from that death. They are infected. When the little boy came up red, the woman distracted him while the man euthanized him. HBO .... got it right and then some! Looking forward to more of your reactions (especially now you know there are no zombies :-P)

These infected people aren’t zombies they are actually still alive. Like the epidemiologist said in the beginning the fungus is controlling their minds. It wants them to spread the infection. I’ve seen what advanced infection cases from the game look like. It’s pretty gross. It kind reminds me of The Flood from the Halo game series.

It’s honestly refreshing to see someone who hasn’t played the games react to this show! Seeing people’s first ever reaction, especially to THAT scene is amazing

This episode did such a great job adopting the video game. The girl that plays Sarah is Thandie newtons daughter. Dunno if you ever seen westworld but she’s amazing and her daughter did such a great job! 💜

This is probably the best reaction. No knowledge of the game or trailers, watching it fresh, great video. Keep it up my G 👏🙏

Bro the episode is almost exactly like the game. I was so surprised at how incredibly good it was!! So excited to see your reactions to this show😭

You are the first person i have seen with literally no idea what the premise is and it made the early suspense so much better

I keep finding myself calling the main characters Bella and Pedro, or Lyanna and Oberyn. I need to get used to calling them Ellie and Joel. 😅

The creepiest thing about the last of us is that what he said about fungus in the beginning is true. The "zombie" fungus in the game and show, cordyceps, exists and it actually works like this and effects bugs and even some small animals. Or candida, yeast, people can have candida overgrowth and the candida in your gut will send signals to your brain making you crave sugar so it can sustain itself inside you. And if you stop eating sugar, it'll try to shut your brain down, leading to brain fog, tiredness, and a queezy feeling.

I often think it’s good to not play the game before you watch this show, because you’re not prone to judging the show for what the game might have primed for you to expect, this way you’re judging the show for it is does on its own terms, and you’re not constantly comparing. It allows for a much more natural response to the narrative.

I think it's definitely better for your channel, and probably for your experience that you have not played the game. If this first episode is setting up the way the season will go, they are staying extremely close to the games story. I think an unspoiled reaction is best.

When that guy said "When you're feeling lost," He wasn't spreading cheer. He Was advocating for *The Fire Flies*

I'm excited to see the reaction of someone experiencing the story completely blind. Almost all the other reaction channels have played the games.

You should definitely play through it, maybe after the first season. I've played through 3 times and this first episode did not disappoint!

I always love the very beginning of this because I live in the area of Texas where Joel and Sarah were before the outbreak. Hearing names of places where I live is super cool. Also, I did look it up out of curiosity and the Travis County Jail is actually on 10th Street in Austin XD

When that fight with the FEDRA guy happened and Ellie was just looking at Joel, I think she realized she finally had someone that would risk everything to protect her. On the other hand, Joel is protecting her so fiercely because he couldn't protect Sarah from the military guy in the beginning of it all. Also, I do recommend playing the game, but maybe it would be a good idea to wait until the show is over since its where you started. As an avid fan of the game, I absolutely loved this first episode and I'm so excited for what's to come.

For a first episode this was insanely good Sarah's death was absolutely heartbreaking fantastic acting by Nico Parker!! Pedro and Bella are gonna be epic together and this show is gonna be huge!! Bravo HBO

In the game, Marlene was really good friends with Ellie’s mom before she passed. That’s why she knows and cares so much for Ellie.

You know he's also The Mandalorian right? Pedro is going to have a Phenomenal year with The last of us and The Mandalorian back to back its a great year for us fans!

yea the 1st game is a absolute masterpiece and much like the 1st ep of this shows it hits u in the feels heavily early on

Sarah is such a good kid who cares about other people. Like you I wouldn’t have to went in there

Your production quality is becoming outstanding, good work!

Great reaction! Sarah’s death is equally heart-wrenching in the game (if not more because she’s younger). Also, just a note: these aren’t zombies. Zombies are reanimated corpses, but as hinted at in the beginning of the episode, this is fungus that affects living people and takes control of their bodies, which is why wheelchair-bound Nana was able to run like that. Scary stuff. Looking forward to more reactions…and definitely play the game! The show is good so far but the game is perfection!

I watched this last night and thought it was amazing. Hope you and your family are good bro.

LESGOOO!! i'm also going into this blind and this pilot broke me. WE IN FOR A RIDE

I think it might be better that u haven't played the game b4 seeing the show.

As per usual, your reactions never disappoint! I've never played the game as well so this was a first time experience for me as well.

I just found this guy and let me say I mess with this reaction HEAVY, some people force dialogue and sometimes it feels fake, I feel like he’s immersed in the story and we’re just chilling watching it together, love the vibes

So hyped. Loved it. It was on at two in the morning here in the UK so recorded it, my son has played the games so was desperate to watch it. Let him take a day off, got the snacks in and saw it together. Wasn’t disappointed, so good. I’m a massive GOT fan so happy they’re both in it. Great reaction as always ❤🇬🇧

Dude you're one of the best reaction channels out there. Keep up the great videos.

Info if episode 2 doesn't explain. In the early days of the infection while the QZ's where being set up the Military ran bombing runs to clear out groupings of the infected and to reduce places they could stay in to try and kill them off when winter came. It had limited success and the terrain in some places is reflected of that objective.

I think it's better go blind with this series... It's very exciting to watch someone discovering something for first time... So , one of my fav reactions

Hey Maj.! Like you, I'm here for Oberyn and Lyanna! I didn't even know there was a video game! 🤷‍♀️ LOL I only just saw the actual show last night so I'm late seeing your reaction. I've been amazed how many people have reacted to this show, BUT I HAD to come to MY MAN FIRST!! Love ya, Diana ❤

@Major Reacts, I appreciate your upload. Keep'em coming! I'm enjoying watching someone who doesn't know what the story is, reacting to it for the first time. This is by far the BEST video game adaptation ever made! Period!! Nothing comes close to this. This series is true to the game. There are changes, yes, but the changes are fleshing out moments, adding detail to what the game did, but so many of the scenes are from the actual game--The Millers in the truck, going through town and up to that heartbreaking moment was tonally 100%. Though much worse here, as they gave us more time to get attached to characters the game didn't give--not saying it wasn't as emotional in the game (it'll rip your heart out too), just that we knew more about Sarah and the neighbors, so much more. We got to see the place before things went south, and the slow build up was AWESOME! Oh, I don't know if you noticed, but Joel, Tommy and Sarah didn't eat any yeast the day the world ended. Sarah wanted to make pancakes, but they didn't have pancake mix. Tommy was going to eat something that was in Tupperware, but he put it away after smelling it (did it smell off?). Their neighbors, the Adlers were eating biscuits! The made raisin cookies too--Sarah didn't any any of them, neither did Tommy or Joel. Yeast is a type of fungus! Remember the epidemiologist was talking about fungus adapting to global warming and finding away to control people, that's what's happened. Nana Adler had cordyceps tendrils coming out of her mouth when she bit into her daughter, and that's how the people are becoming infected, they're being implanted with fungi. Merle Dandridge, the actress playing Marlene, is the only character who is playing the same character in the game and series, and she's killing it. Well, everyone is killing it!

From when Sarah gave Joel his birthday gift to "20 Years Later" was straight from the game. It is STILL a punch in the gut.

Dude, I discovered you through your hunger games reaction, and I gotta say, I love this one even more.

This man saying Jewel like he is a member of run the jewels. Bro it's Joel like J(oh)el

That scene makes me cry every. single. time.

I watched my brother play this game in 2013 while I was drawing. The opening scene destroyed me back then and now... there is so much they did frame by frame. Since you never played the game, you're in for a wild ride! Cant wait until you see the clickers in action

This was such a great first episode. I knew what was going to happen yet I was still holding my breath in some scenes

There are two games (part 1 and 2 that are out so far) I have played both soooo many times and am IN LOVE with this show. There are some differences but the creative decisions they have made with those differences have been very impressive. I definitely recommend waiting til you finish the first season and then play the games since you already started the show I wouldn’t want you to get spoilers in the game. Loved your reaction as always. Buckle up. You’re in for a ride!

I really love that you're going into this blind. Most people have already played the games, so a different perspective is refreshing.

Did anyone catch the connection between the name of the infected and the name of the kind of rug Sarah was fixing in the Adlers' home?

I like that you didn’t play the game first! Can’t wait to follow along!

I love that you went into this completely blind lol great reaction!

lmfao @ "damn it got quiet as hell!"

Great reaction bro 👏 I subscribed. Prepare for the rollercoaster of emotions ahead! Episode one is only a sample size

I feel like, most of us wouldnt wanna live in this world, but i dont know. Maybe, if we get to that point some will not be ready to die.

I cannot even TELL YOU how excited I am for you to watch this!!! The game is fantastic, it changed the gaming world. If you did a playthrough, I would watch the hell out of it, lol.

you're the first reactor ive seen recognise the guy from twilight

ayee I got my own office now; I can laugh out loud now at your rections!!!!No more front desk!!! lol

How would she get her favorite food when it's so scarce. That's when you know

New to your and loved your reaction. You’re hilarious

As a extremely huge Last of Us fan who absolutely loves both games Part 1 and 2 loved every moment of the pilot there is some changes made but at least they stick as most to the game material as possible which is great.

Ever notice how many times Joel could have been infected through food that day? He didn't get pancakes, he didn't take the biscuit, he forgot the cake, the cookies that Sarah brought home weren't ones either of them wanted. Seriously...

Would love for you to play the games and make a reaction series from it! I'd watch every one of them!

I haven't played the game either and I am loving the series by going in blind.

Yo, so the scene where Marlene is convincing Joel and Tess to take Ellie, that was right after a firefight between the fireflies and Roberts crew. Basically, it was a deal gone bad. Robert was trying to sell the Fireflies a bad battery and didn't like that they wouldn't take the deal for obvious reasons. Marlene, Kim and Ellie were the only ones that made it out alive from that fight.

I'm honestly kinda glad you haven't played the game first ☺ since most reactors seem to have played the game, they're already spoiled for the storyline so the reactions are all basically the same and they can't be surprised or shocked by some things. It's refreshing seeing a reactor who doesn't know the plot already, as it makes your reaction more enjoyable 😊

if you have a playstation, i very highly recommend just even playing the intro just to see how good it truely is. the game and show are very similar intro wise but i really like the shows small changes that they made just as much as i like the game. if you dont have a playstation honestly just watch a quick video of someone playing it on youtube its just as chaotic and a masterpiece

There are no zombies in this world. They are called infected and are not dead. ❤

Great Reaction, I was in my emotions!!!!

Haven’t played the game either but I’m enjoying the show. I prefer watching shows and movies that I know little about. It removes any unconscious bias I might have felt otherwise.

Hey major, I'm here cuz of those 2 too😊

Didnt pay attention to the opener calling people zombies calling the lead character jules lol

Didn’t know anything about but I definitely love it already

Your reaction was great😊

Quality man raw reaction! So great for the channel you haven’t played the game.

i would love to see you play the game and i feel like a lot of other people would too❤

5 months ago already?? feels like it released like tops 3 months ago. it was real good and cool, hard to know what u prefer when its made and based of a game, its both good and special in there own ways!

The first season is supposed to cover the first game, I vote you watch the show first because the first episode looks like they’re loyal to the game

I would love to see you react to the handmaid’s tale!! it has a similar vibe to this one and I think you’d have some very interesting commentary :) plus the final season comes out this fall so you could watch that in real time like this

Banger show, banger reaction. Instant subscribe

Good reaction my g

It's good to see somebody that hasn't played the game and didn't know what's about to happen. It got spoiled for me because I read a comment before watching the show. Great reaction to the Sarah man. I would have felt the same if I was watching it without knowing.

First I wanna just say you have the BEST hoodie collection! Consider me jealous! Lolllll! And as usual you had another great reaction! Loved it! You literally make my day! 😂 you said “huh uh, f*ck grammas ass up!! … I’m sorry nanna I just had to whoop yo ass n shit!” Omggg I’m dyin! Love it! Ain’t gonna lie I’d do the same over my kids, no matter how much it scarred them for life 😂😂😂😢😢😮! Love this show! I’ve never played the game either and I’m glad bc then I would know what was coming in the storyline! So far I really really like it!

So many reviewers have played the game and I don't feel those are a fresh review, as someone else who hasn't played the game I appreciate your point of view as the same as mine 👍

Did you realize that Ellie is the little Bear from Game of Thrones? Cause when i peeped that it was CRAZY.

Wow I have watched many reactions to this series, your was the best , keep it up, I subscribed and will be following your journey to episode 9. I am glad you are not a gamer and are seeing this for the first time, So to answer you main question in TWD everyone was infected and when they died they turned into zombies. Here only people who have been in contact with the infected get infected normally by a bite. So if you are infected and die the fungus also dies. If not infected you just die normally.

Atkins chocolate coconut bars are to die for!! This was a great intro into the season. Ellie was bit 3 weeks ago and it healed. hmm sounds like something to study. Hate that she has to be treated like property tho.

I'm with you: Waffles over pancakes ANY DAY! 💯💯💯💯💯🥰 LOL.

Yes Ellie is very important to the story and looking forward to the series and they did great job!!

Which actor was from Twilight? I didn’t recognize one

Great reaction Major. To answer your question, "What would you guys do?" in this situation, my answer is that unfortunately, I wouldn't have much of a choice. I'm in the military, so I guess follow orders... I dunno about shooting kids though man, in a world that's already kinda Hell, it might be curtains for me if they asked that of me.

Play the game after the show! There is a new remake of the first game so play the new remake. It’s awesome.

I'm there with you Major! I'm watching for Pedrocand Bella as well. I'm not much of a gamer. Everyone says they did a great job comparing to the game. Have you played or watched The Witcher? It's great!

If you haven't played the game then you don't have to worry about spoilers.

Major, it’s great that you didn’t play the game. You can play it second. You should put in the title you never played the game. I think your point of view is interesting

So hype for this Love the game/characters/narrative. And they chose fantastic actors but it's refreshing to see you do it without the game love. Enjoy!

Bruh oatmeal raisin cookies are the bomb! Don’t be hating

small spoiler of game: when/if you play the game, the old 2013 ps3 is a little different (playwise) than the remastered for ps5 - some prefer the original

Joel = Joll like ROLL (up) Not Jewel....

When is a Red Light a good thing. 🙃

If this were me, I would not want to live like this. Well for one, I have no survival skills so I would’ve been taken out so soon lol. Even if I did, like Joel does, I wouldn’t want to live this way. I couldn’t do it. If the clickers didn’t take me out, my own mind would do it first.

Are you able to play the game?

just here for black last of us reactions lmao but yea man you should def play the game, its dope af,, tons of action. would say to play part 1, then the dlc, then part 2 if you havent gotten to it yet then come back and rewatch the show. there are so many easter eggs for us that have played the game. i cried every episode, heartbreakingly beautiful adaptation. perfection.

Lol these are NOT Zombies dude.....they are alive but taken over by the Fungus....they all have a hive mind the Scientist explained it ALL in the beginning 😂😆

I LOVE this show already, and considering the fungus is real, makes it even more terrifying. Keep up the awesome reactions, I haven't missed a video yet. Would love to do a reaction with you sometime, I'm just starting out myself.
