Have you watched the first episode?
This is why it feels like HBO's adaptation of the acclaimed PlayStation game is such a big achievement. From"Chernobyl" creator Craig Mazin,"Us" is a high-gloss zombie apocalypse story like "The Walking Dead," but with just as much feeling as fighting. Starring"Game of Thrones" alums Pedro Pascal and, it brings the visceral, intimate quality of a video game without feeling like you're stuck in an uncanny valley playing one.
Ramsey and Pascal are fantastic, well-suited to their roles and bursting with cheeky chemistry in their every scene. Ramsey is silly and playful, as she was in the 2022 film"Catherine Called Birdy," and a magnet for your eyes amid the chaos, as she was in"Thrones." Unburdened by the bulky helmet and monotone he's saddled with in Disney+'s"The Mandalorian," Pascal finally gets to act.
