Critics Consensus

Grabbing onto thorny moral questions with its bare hands, The Last of Us' second season is a challenging expansion that retains its predecessor's superb performances and verisimilitude.

The pieces are there, but they’re scattered, unable to form something truly memorable.

The chemistry between Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal is magnificent... their dynamic has been the heart of the show.

Often these middle seasons can feel like a weigh station, an impatient stopover until the meat of the work in the final act but The Last of Us gifts the audience with many sublime moments that make it more than worthwhile in the meantime.

Season two of The Last of Us may run only seven episodes and have a slightly slower pace than its freshman outing, but it remains an excellent step forward for what has been quite an incredible adaptation of the popular video game series.

8/10

It really digs into the nature of one side’s freedom fighters being the other side’s terrorists. The more you stop seeing your enemy as a human with the exact same impulses and motives as you, the less human you become.

A complete bastardization of the original Last Of Us Part 2 videogame. I honestly feel sorry for anyone who has watched this but never played and experienced the game. I'm not sure how Druckmann or anyone at Naughty Dog let this get made. They completely change characters and there motivations for the worst and retell the story in a manner that does the original a total disservice. The pacing of the game and how the story meticulously unfolds is what makes it a masterpiece by the end and its like the writers of the show completely misunderstood this. Go play the games if you want to be blown away.

Fantastic 2nd season! Followed the game very closely with minor exceptions. Bella has incredible range as an actress. I'm excited to see her fight with Abby next season. Felt bad for Dina. She was a good soldier until she took an arrow to the knee.

Rush through the first game, which was actually good, in the first season, then really stretch out the worst parts of the second game. I was hoping the TV show might try to stray a bit from the worst parts of the game, but the only good change they made was Abby not having all the remaining steroids in the apocalypse, or that much screen time in general, which will probably change next season which will probably also suck and I will also probably watch.

I hated playing most of Last of Us 2. It was brutal, and the series in no different. The only criticisms I have... Abby should dbe played by a bulkier actress. I love Kaitlyn's portrayal, she just doesn't exactly match up with the image I have of Abby, from the game. Also - why cut the game into two seasons? I get it, but I sure hope it is not another 2 years for this one to come out.

Compared to season 1, season 2 is bad, like really bad. Its nothing like the game and it feels rushed. Alot of pointless sideplots and conversations that lead nowhere and adds nothing to the story.
