Critics Consensus

Swiftly paced to the point of feeling needlessly abbreviated, "Look for the Light" ends The Last of Us with a morally ambiguous about-face that will give viewers plenty to contemplate.

A brutal sadistic triumph of television.

Consequence

With a two-hander like The Last of Us, the show has been able to really dive into the growing bond between Joel and Ellie, with more nuance than most might give it.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

I recall finishing it [source video game] and setting my controller down in shock, unsure whether to cry or scream. That devastating ambiguity was preserved as HBO’s adaptation of the dystopian tale thundered to a searing finale.

Thankfully, the season ends on a perfectly disturbing note.

Rated: 4/5

CBR

The season finale hits all the key moments one would expect from a relatively straightforward adaptation of the story, but this is one particular instance where a more decompressed approach to the narrative to make it feel a bit more earned.
