The Last Of Us Season 1

A raw and painful closing that will leave viewers devastated and torn.

One of the darkest yet heartfelt episodes in a show filled with them.

Anchored by Bella Ramsey's effective performance, Ellie's backstory makes the young girl more relatable as she struggles to find a reason to keep fighting for those she cares about.

By keeping Joel and Ellie's relationship the main focus of this adaptation, the result is gut-wrenching and highly effective.

Thoroughly gripping and beautifully disarming in the most upsetting ways possible, ‘The Last of Us’ is already making a solid case to become one of this year's best shows.

The experience now wholly taken over by the showrunners continues to work brilliantly for this medium and serves the story to greater effect.

‘Long, Long Time’ delves deep into the human condition in the face of total devastation, reminding us of what truly matters amidst immense horror and dismay.

Two episodes in, there should be no doubt that ‘The Last of Us’ is in good hands, becoming must-watch TV each week.

The perfect start to one of the most well-received games ever stays true to its source material but features subtle yet thoughtful changes that enhance the story.
