TLOU is the only game ever to make me cry "no!!!" and weep with sympathy.On PS3/4/5 I've enjoyed this "game" many times.I say "game" as I'm not a gamer really and I thought it an absorbing empathetic cinematic experience.So when it was made into a TV series I watched it on NowTV on the edge of my seat fully expecting...disappointment. But this new rendering had me gripped start to finish.I even wept with sympathy again and I knew what was coming!I'm reviewing the 4k version.The beautiful instrumental guitar, the beautiful audio which hardly ever gets a mention really gives this a gentle haunting pulse. No endless "whack! thump! thump!" drums to ruin a scene where the acting and visuals need no extra stimulus. I'm so grateful the modern taste for this tasteless drumming makes no appearance anywhere in this. The audio is sublime. On my 5.1 audio system it really encapsulates rather than alienates."Bill and Frank" were almost a footnote in the game. Here they had the chance to tell their story with incredibly moving gritty compassion. That was a masterclass from both the actors and they guy that invented the game and translated to telly. Bravo!The "print" of the 4k is obviously top notch, especially when compared to the TV version with its compression, different frame rates and other technical "downgrades". The darker scenes are very well mapped and the riot of colours in the arcade really gave my OLED TV something to grin about. Me too!9 UHD episodes spread over 4 discs. Each having 2 episodes except the 3rd which has 3.Buried in these are extras which I've not watched yet. There's plenty more value to squeeze out of this BluRay.The downside of this "series in a box" is once you've started you can't stop. 520 minutes makes it a rather long film. So go buy plenty of popcorn, put on some pullups (I wont tell if you dont), sit down, and enjoy!

Great series, will be buying the next session. Arrived fast.

I am a huge fan of the game and although it could have been better (more episodes would have been nice so some parts wouldn't feel a tad rushed); however, with that said I still thoroughly enjoyed it.The cinematography is just fantastic and I feel all actors did a splendid job.The 4K version is well worth getting if you want to get the best quality (even if the price is eye-watering).

Stunning

Great plot and fantastic visuals to enjoy on my 4k tv

Thank you!

Video quality is far superior to what you’d get streaming 1080p. That plus the HDR is just amazing if you have a decent 4K TV.
