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.

Seattle Times

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

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

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

The Nightly (AU)

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.

Hey, Have You Seen ...?

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.

Rated: 8/10

Season 2 took it to a whole new level with the characters. We already know this world, so here’s some more danger. You think the infected are scary? No, how about real people and the monsters they are? That’s what I loved about Season 2.

Polygon

The Last of Us season 2 is a much-needed expansion on the story of The Last of Us Part 2, with a particularly strong characterization for the core players of the season.

What on Earth I just did watch? Set (I do not kmow the actor's name) was the only normal person, he had the only normal reactions according the situations and the only only real emotions. The rest is a disaster of unseen scale.

Just a number of random plot twists and decisions that overall make no sense. Very disappointing.

LOVED season 1. Can't even be bothered to finish season 2. Uggh, so bad. I only liked Ellie because Joel made her tolerable. Without Joel, no show.

The Last of Us delivers a generally decent story with occasional standout moments. However, the pacing feels uneven — too slow at times, too rushed at others. The central theme is presented a bit too simply, lacking the nuance and complexity that could have given it more emotional weight. While still engaging, the season doesn’t quite capture the depth of the original material.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
