Episode 3, in particular, stands out as one of the most productive television episodes in years. He took what is most commonly explored only in the game’s notes and scraps of paper, the date between Bill and Frank, and turned it into one of the most affectionate and tender stories on modern television. In a world as dark as the one presented in The Last of Us, it’s refreshing to see such a healthy love story blossom and thrive during the apocalypse. These two characters were able to live their lives on their own terms, enjoying the calm and comforting embrace of home, as the world came crashing down around them.
However, it’s not a single episode that makes The Last of Us our series of the year. Instead, it’s a series that has probably done its best to appeal to series enthusiasts, while also catering to those who don’t have worldly wisdom. It used its pilot episode to expertly immerse the audience in the horrific scenario and spent the following episodes faithfully recreating many facets of the original game, while adding enough twists and turns to keep us from getting too comfortable.
Will Season 2 take place directly in the second game, or will it tell some of the stories that certainly happened in the years between the two games?Whatever happens, we hope to be as fascinated as we were during Season 1.
