Wow. Last of Us premiered last night and it just blows TWD out of the atmosphere. I am not sure TWD had a single episode in its entire run that was as good as what we saw last night.

And it just isn't me saying this as a Last of Us fan. On Rotten Tomatoes it has a 99% critic score and a 96% audience score. Practically everyone seems to be glowing about this series.

So what should Walking Dead do in response to this as they will be nothing but a bud of a lot of jokes if they keep on putting out the same kind of product that they have for the past several years when people now have Last of Us to compare it to.

Should TWD just end? Just put out a season of the already announced shows and call it a day for this franchise? Should they reboot with a higher quality show than what the original show was? What should TWD do now as the bar has now been raised significantly for post apocalyptic zombie stories.

 

Yeah they really were alluding to TWD without actually saying they were. Watching any TWD related show will be tough after seeing the sets that Last of Us has.

In anycase Last of Us is proving that there is definitely still a solid audience for post apocalyptic zombie stories as they reported today that they had 10 million viewers in 2 days (and people have been talking about this show almost non stop over social media since the episode aired).

@BlackBird just remember when you are watching these TWD spinoff shows to say to yourself 'When you are lost in the darkness look for the light'.
