The TV Series is generally faithful to the tone and style of the game, as it preserves the core themes of survival, morality, violence, and love that define the story of Joel and Ellie. The TV Series also recreates many iconic scenes and locations from the game, such as the opening prologue, the giraffe encounter, the hospital showdown, and the Firefly lab. The TV Series also uses the same music composed by Gustavo Santaolalla, who scored both games.

However, the TV Series also has some differences in tone and style from the game, as it is a different medium with different constraints and possibilities. The TV Series has more dialogue and character interactions than the game, as it does not rely on gameplay mechanics or environmental storytelling to convey information or emotion. The TV Series also has more humor and levity than the game, as it balances the dark and bleak aspects of the story with moments of warmth and hope. The TV Series also has more violence and gore than the game, as it does not shy away from showing the brutality and horror of the infected and the human enemies.
