The Last of Us (HBO)
The HBO series “The Last of Us” is a critically acclaimed adaptation of the popular video game. Contributing to the show’s atmosphere, is the soundtrack by composer Gustavo Santaolalla. Having also composed the music for the original game, Santaolalla’s work seamlessly blends minimalist Ronroco melodies, with unsettling ambient textures. His music perfectly captures the post-apocalyptic world and the complex relationship between Joel and Ellie.
The series is being heralded as “the greatest video game adaptation ever”. No surprise as Craig Mazen is the executive producer and showrunner. Mazen’s Chernobyl mini-series (on HBO) was one of the greatest shows I have ever seen. It’s a must watch.
