‘The Last of Us’ bucks the game-to-screen trend, breathing life into the zombie drama

The spotty track record of videogame adaptations and glut of apocalyptic/zombie dramas receive a welcome boost from “The Last of Us,” which proves there’s room for more of each as long as it’s this good. A road series with mini-dramas baked into the episodes, the HBO show quickly proves itself worthy of the hype and anticipation by delivering a fully realized series graced with flesh-and-blood characters.

Young Sheldon Is Building to an Insulting TBBT Plot Hole

While Sheldon is the unquestioned protagonist of Young Sheldon, the series has a number of important and well-developed characters. Pastor Jeff has stepped into his villainous role, while Georgie gets closer to his counterpart from The Big Bang Theory. At the same time, George has shown that he can be a pretty good father for Sheldon — at least when compared to Sheldon’s descriptions of him from TBBT. In fact, some fans would prefer it if Young Sheldon would break canon and let George remain a decent human being.
