, fans expressed mass concern. The video game franchise, which debuted in 2013, remains one of the most beloved stories in the gaming community -- no one wanted to see it ruined. Plus, attempts to adapt the game had already failed once: almost became the subject of a live-action movie distributed by Sony, but the project fell through in 2019.Show creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann looked at these past struggles as learning opportunities for their television show, which is currently in the midst of season 1 on HBO Max. To succeed in their adaptation, Mazin and Druckmann knew that they had to ground their show’s foundation in the game’s origins, but the first episode’s release in January seemed to surprise even the most ardent of fans with how much they truly got it right. With each week's Sunday release, fans point out the growing number of scenes that recreate the game almost identically, with others complimenting the areas where Mazin and Druckmann chose to go in a different direction. Check out our favorite game-to-show comparisons by episode below. Sitting on the couch in their Texas home, Joel's daughter Sarah gifts him a mended watch for his birthday.
