Many Utahns took notice of Sunday night's season finale of HBO's 'The Last of Us,' as it put the state capital on the center stage. Here's a look at what the show creators got right and wrong about Salt Lake City.
data shows that Utah tied with Washington as the top state searching the show Sunday night and Monday morning. Salt Lakers also placed second among U.S. cities, according to the data.
But fans were also quick to point out Salt Lake City details included in the finale. Here's a look at what the show creators got right and wrong.It's worth pointing out that "The Last of Us" was never actually shot in Salt Lake City. Most of the show was filmed in Alberta, Canada,. That means the crew had to rely on pictures that were digitally added so that viewers believe the characters were walking around Utah.
It's clear they got the right buildings. There are several downtown skyscrapers prominently displayed in the background, as well as the Salt Lake Temple and the Utah Capitol. They even got the Wasatch Mountain peaks correct in several scenes. Yet, fans noticed the building locations were a little off. One shot seems to use the view from the Triad Center but the Wells Fargo Building is on the wrong side of the temple. There's also a baseball field in the foreground, which may or may not be a nod to the West High School field that's a few blocks north of the Triad Center.
