HBO Max fell in love with ‘The Last of Us’ premiere and frustrated fans

Last January 15, and after several months of waiting, the premiere of “The Last of Us”, the series with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, which is the adaptation of the game of the same name, was finally entrusted. However, the rollout didn’t go smoothly for some users, as there were reports that the HBO Max page was down for several long minutes.

It is not the first time it happens, but the platform of HBO Max dropped because of the premiere of ‘The Last of Us’, as the high demand from users who wanted to join the service to see the adaptation of the story of Joel and Ellie caused HBO to crash for a few minutes. According to Movie Web, many of the fans were unable to stream the premiere due to the glitch and had to wait a long time and several attempts to enter.

The The HBO Max ruling has frustrated fans of ‘The Last of Us’, who took to social networks to share their annoyance and asked HBO to fix their servers as soon as possible. It wasn’t until nearly an hour after the premiere that the vast majority of those who weren’t allowed in to see Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin’s series were able to enjoy the first installment in the series.

During the previews of the finals of ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘The House of the Dragon’, HBO Max was also suffering from serious problems which prevented fans eager to see the storyline from seeing the chapter. Many fail to explain why after so many years the application continues to fail, and that Warner Bros. Discovery does not offer any solution in this regard.

The success of the first episode of ‘The Last of Us’

If there is anything good that can be drawn from all this, it is that the first chapter of “The Last of Us” has been a success, because while other series have yet to reach the end of the season to reach numbers that make the platform , the story of Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey only took one chapter to attract so much attention from subscribers.

Even if, over time, the fans that the series will accumulate will be more and more, and it cannot happen yet that with the rest of the episodes the platform continues to decline. So Warner must be careful to fix any bugs, or anticipate that active users within its platform will be more every Sunday of the next 8 weeks.

The first chapter of ‘The Last of Us’ debuted with excellent ratings from critics, and not only with near perfect scores from the general public. The rest of the 8-episode series will arrive at the same times every Sunday, so we have a long journey ahead until we know the outcome of Joel and Ellie.
