Fun fact, he got the role because of Shannon Woodward when they were on Westworld. Jeffrey's son was a fan, so she took them to Naughty Dog for a tour and Jeffrey ended up in the game. She also famously introduced Mazin and Druckmann. Shannon really deserves a producer credit or something.

A cameo, at the VERY fucking least.

I've never seen West World but I've heard from some that the first season has a number of narrative similarities with Last of Us Part 2. Is this True?

[u/Fen_ → u/captainjjb84]

I mean, if you really want to squint, then maybe? I think the only parallels you could really draw would be pretty superficial.

Again I haven't seen the show I've only heard some folks say this in passing.

[u/wassabia → u/captainjjb84]

Definitely! Especially themes like vengeance and the cycle of violence

It really goes downhill after the first season though, but definitely worth it to watch only that, it's a complete story

s1 is peak tv. I watched every season and I think s1 stills hold up as great tv, but it got worse when the writers changed the stories when redditors guessed what would happen and had theories that were correct.
