Allow me to reintroduce The Last of Us at its very best. After a frustrating fifth episode, which dove entirely too far into the war between the W.L.F. and Seraphites, the HBO series thrillingly swung back to what made season 1 so special. Yes, the beautiful, pseudo-father-daughter relationship between Joel and Ellie. But also this: Small, contained, resonant storytelling that is merely set within a world devastated by an extinction-level pandemic—and, this is important, is not defined by it. |
