HBO's *The Last of Us* Season 1 is widely considered the gold standard of video game adaptations. Faithfully following the 2013 Naughty Dog game (with a few enriching additions), it's a masterpiece. With Season 2 premiering this April on Max, now's the perfect time to revisit the critically acclaimed first season—and what better way than with this stunning limited-edition steelbook release? Available for pre-order now, and hitting shelves March 18th, this collectible is a must-have for fans.

The Last of Us: The Complete First Season (4K UHD) Limited-Edition Collectible Steelbook
Price: $45.44 (9% off $49.99) at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.
For the uninitiated, Season 1 masterfully adapts the events of the first game and its *Left Behind* expansion, enriching the narrative with additional world-building elements. Showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann (a key creative force behind the games) penned the scripts, ensuring authenticity and compelling storytelling.

Pedro Pascal portrays Joel Miller, and Bella Ramsey shines as Ellie. Adding to the authenticity, Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson (the original game voice actors) also appear. The series follows Joel's journey escorting Ellie across a post-apocalyptic America ravaged by a fungal pandemic, where Ellie holds the key to humanity's survival.
As a huge fan of the game series, I wholeheartedly recommend the show. For a more detailed breakdown, check out our *The Last of Us* Season 1 review.
