Want to watch last of us TV show. Will it ruin the game for me?

I'm away from home and want to watch the last of us TV show. I have the game in my library and do intend to play it.

Should I hold off watching the show until I've played the game or will it be fine.

Don't want to ruin the game for myself.

Thanks
Scott

Personally, I'd play the game first. Once you know the story the next medium you experience it on will be less impactful and, if it were me, I'd rather do it for the first time in a scenario where I'd get the most out of it. It's the same reason I'd rather read a book first before I watch a movie out about it. You could still watch the show first though and enjoy both; it definitely wouldn't "ruin" it, but I think you'd get more out of it doing the game before the show.

I held off the show until I played it and would definitely recommend doing the same.
The show was decent, but I found the game a lot more engaging as you're taking on the role of the protagonists

The story in the game is better than the show.

Ok I'll find something else to watch until I've played the game.

Thanks guys.

It ruined it for me wish I'd waited. The game is in good shape now so no need to wait
