Horror, dystopian apocalypse, sci-fi, and video game lovers unite for The Last of Us — an HBO drama series that combines all of these genres into one show (and it’s currently taking the world by storm).

In this TV adaptation of the 2013 video game of the same name, a mutated fungus is introduced to the people of Jakarta, Indonesia, and quickly spreads into a global pandemic, making this sci-fi show feel a little too realistic. Those infected are taken over by the parasite and turn into deadly zombie-like creatures.

Don’t write this off as just another zombie show. Trust us — you’re going to want to see what all the hype surrounding The Last of Us TV series is all about.
