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. Go to Full Review

The chemistry between Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal is magnificent... their dynamic has been the heart of the show. Go to Full Review
Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Apr 22
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. Go to Full Review

Jeff Beck The Blu Spot Sep 22
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Gart M @ImTheGart 2d The Last of Us does a great job making a series from a video game. The casting is okay, but the overall plot is extremely well done and I wouldn't want it any other way. I like the LGBTQ+ representation in this show too. Their take on the zombie apocalypse is also really neat! Additionally, the set design, zombies, and music are all outstanding. I started playing the games after I got introduced to the show and I really am enjoying The Last of Us in general. Looking forward to season 3! See more paul b @Pauljoburns 2d I noticed someone say that this season was being review bombed because of homophobia. But Maybe its getting bad reviews because it’s boring and the two main characters don’t come across as believable actual strong tough women but as two wee girls pretending to be tough. The loss of pedro pascals has not been matched by any of the new characters making this season lacklustre See more يوسف محمد Y @Youssef13 3d Awful acting especially bella Ramsey she ruined all Emotional scenes since season 1 and awful Scenario they destroyed character ellie they ignored all Ellie's qualities and goals and just focused on her sexualty all the series ellie (bella) was dumb and dina is the smart she is who planning and Directing everyone and ellie acting like a teen in a high school they destroyed the story even charcter Joel in the game he is strong and no mercy in the series he's so cute, in the end this is not the last of us this is not ellie this is not joel this is not Tommy this is not the story that we love and cried in the end of the game See more Nathan S @NathanS. Dec 6 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. See more @Dragonsarm Dec 5 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. See more Some Guy F Dec 4 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.
