The Last of Us: When You're Lost in the Darkness [1x01] ✦ Full-Length Watchalong Reaction

Hello there! This reaction is available as part of my "Try Before You Buy" reaction videos here on Patreon. For the TV series that I react to at the Insiders tiers, I give the first episode out for free so you can experience it with me and see if you're up for joining us to continue! You must have your own copy of the episodes to watchalong as I do blur the episodes and have the audio muted. I leave a few seconds of it up at the start of each episode for syncing purposes. I am not allowed to distribute the entire episodes in my videos as this is illegal. Thank you for watching along with me!

Hello everyone! Well, the day has finally arrived. This reaction is SPOILER-FREE for those of you who do not know the story. I do compare to the video game here and there throughout the reaction, but I do NOT mention anything that is to come. Remarks about that are saved for the very end of my edited reaction for YouTube and it will be that structure for every episode.

I kindly ask that if you leave comments on these posts, please keep them spoiler-free for fellow patrons and if you want to be able to talk spoilers, either wait for the edited reaction to come out and comment on it directly on YouTube or join my Discord server to talk about it there in The Last of Us thread I've created. [Direct link here.]

Enjoy!

We love to hear it!

I knew this show would be good but it somehow exceeded my expectations. Thanks for the reaction!

I saw your tweet, that's so awesome! It's going to be so good. 😊 And yeah, no worries! I love that the folks who made the Game of Thrones intro did the intro for this show. So cool!

I'm also new to the world of TLOU. As I said on Twitter, everything I know about the game was in the first episode, so I'm strapping in for the ride! Thank you for posting that link to the game's opening credits. I was curious what it looked like after Krissy commented on the show's credits "So is this Game Of Fungus"?, haha

Ahh, welcome in to the post-apocalyptic world of The Last of Us! You're in for a journey and this is exactly why I'm keeping my reaction spoiler-free. In the game, that death is what you experience right before they push you into the opening credits, so it hits just as hard playing the game as it did to watch the show and it was my biggest thing that I was hoping they would get right and I am super pleased. Also here's a link to the game's opening credits which is one of my favourites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnp4-RoRxSo Totally natural to have questions after this pilot episode, but def experience the season first and we can always talk questions when it's done, if you still have them! So excited for next week!

I'm so sorry you're having that happen! I know that there are syncing issues sometimes between countries. Not sure where you're located but I have talked to people before who live in countries where shows/movies are shown at a different FPS than the country the YouTuber/reactor is watching from, which sometimes causes things to become out-of-sync. Honestly, your solution of playing at 1.05 speed is probably the best option as I've really only heard the "solution" to be to pause and re-sync as often as you can.

TLOU newbie here, i am watching this show because of Pedro with your reaction as my first viewing because i don't plan to do multiple viewing. So thank you for the non spoiler reaction, i appreciate it. I was never a big zombie and horror fan, but i like the way it is presented here. It is more creepy than over the top scary. What a tragic death, losing the focus character of the first half hour caught me totally off guard. I have a lot of lore questions, but i will let the show answer them first i think. One detail i am still not sure why it was here is Sarah looking and touching her knife. I wonder why this scene was here, maybe her dna will be important or maybe it is to make a parallele with Ellie's knife later. Thanks for the reaction, i am happy to have another quality show to look forward too.

On a technical point, it looks like I’ll have the same syncing issue as with other broadcast shows and DVD’s I always have - I believe it’s due to the PAL format which results in my video playing faster than the reaction, so requires pausing a second or two every minute. Streaming platforms and Blurays are fine. I’ve found a reasonable workaround having noticed that pc browser YouTube has a custom speed option so I can choose 1.05, which whilst not perfect seems like it might be a closer match. Anyone know of any better or other solutions?
