7.3.2023
The Last of Us show had a pretty gruesome episode this week. The Winter section has long been regarded as the original game’s darkest section, reckoning with its most villainous figures and horrifying realities of the post-apocalypse.

When I finished The Last of Us’ eighth episode “When We Are in Need,” which recounts the events of the game’s winter section, I had to go take a walk. I thought I was emotionally prepared to see a live-action version of the source material’s darkest moments, but I was once again surprised by...

The Last Of Us Fans Better Brace Themselves For The Left Behind Episode
21.2.2023
Every episode of HBO’s The Last of Us has had something emotionally devastating (some good and bad) to sit with, but episode seven, “Left Behind” is probably going to be one of the hardest to deal with of the show’s nine-episode run.

HBO’s The Last Of Us Show Just Nailed One Of The Game’s Best Moments
11.2.2023
It seems I was too quick to judge HBO’s The Last of Us. While the first four episodes certainly kept my attention as well-written and delightfully-shot prestige television, I had been a little let down as the adaptive process of turning the game into a show has, so far, left out the recreation...
