The Last of Us season 1 took the world by storm, and rightfully so. It led to comparisons between the HBO series and the first season of The Walking Dead, which is one of the best among all TV shows. Both seasons tell potent stories and develop exciting characters who deal with moral questions in different ways. The differences between the two quality-wise are not that big, but I would say that The Last of Us season 1 felt more cinematic to me.
