HBO’s first season The last of us It was not one of the most impressive video game adaptations to date, which was also the most loyal. The show did a remarkable job of copying the characters, places and moments of the game, at the point where it seems that it seems to be leaving just straight at times. Nevertheless, Season 1 showed its story to tell the story, including episodes such as “Long Time”, which, beyond Eli and Joel’s main story, increased the scope of the world. This helped the series feel authentic and separate from its source content. Season 2 goes a step further – it follows a more complex story with cleanliness, while also spending more time with its main characters.
This piece contains a mild spoiler The last of us Show and game.
While Season 1 spread the first game, the second season only covers a part of it Our last part ii. This seven episodes are long, which includes about half of the game plot. Co -creator Craig Mizin had earlier said that the distribution was made because “the content of the story that we got Part II The first of the game is much more than the story content. (This also means that the new season is smaller than the nine episodes of Season 1.) After seeing the whole second season, it certainly feels small, but it also ends in a place that sees the Season Three well.
If you have not played this game, the second chapter is elected after the important decision of Joel (Pedro Pascal), in which he “saves Bella Ramsey) from a group of scientists who have tried to vaccinate like Zombie, which has destroyed the world.” But they do not get a chance because Joel kills everyone to oust Eli, because this procedure will kill him. This is a selfish personal choice – protecting a person at the possible expenses of humanity as a whole – what really came down about the location that Joel Eli lying on.

For Season 2, the couple is living in a relatively safe community in Jackson, Woming, while dealing with the facts of Eli’s bigger. She wants more responsibility and may be even a girlfriend called Dina (Isabella Merced), and Joel is not dealing with her well. He even looks at a physician (Catherine Ohra) in hope of working through it.
Initially, though, those problems become a faint memory. The last of us“The second chapter is the story of the end of revenge, and after a significant moment-I will not spoil what it is without interruption, but I would say that it is not a change from the game-Eli is consumed by the idea of taking revenge and he travels to a dangerous, war-affected seattle to achieve what he wants. It brings us to Abbie (Caitlin Dore), which is the source of Eli’s Irr. In the game, she was almost a mysterious force for almost half a way, when things changed and the players saw things from its point of view – and played. At the show, while there is still some species from where it comes, its motivations are soon clarified.
This does not change the dynamic between Abbey and Eli. They still hate each other, and they still have reasons for doing so (even if the reasons are legitimate, of course, it is very fast). But it helps to make things a bit faster, and it fits better with weekly TV shows, where you can’t rush through the story to see if the Abbey contract is. Stress is as usual, both permanently inching an inevitable conflict, which means that this season is likely to be different as a game. If you think that the decision to decide in Season 1 was difficult, oh boy, just wait. I personally felt it The last of us“The second chapter was a difficult but effective way to discover the lasting effects of violence and anger, but it also turns its main characters into incredible sacopath, so your mileage will definitely be different.

What is impressive about the second season of the show is that it retains a similar revenge fuel story (or, at least, its first half), while also works. Since this is a show, you’re not just playing from Eli’s point of view like a game, and thus the rest of Jackson and Seattle get more attention. In addition to some new characters like Joel’s physician, there are important story lines that have nothing to do with Eli’s struggle, but will be focused on how dangerous the world is. You will see a lot in Jackson’s internal works, while Seattle has become a battlefield for two opposing forces: a militant organization and a group of religious zilotes. Like Abe, groups’ motivations and backgrounds soon become clear. Here, you see not only the Gori, the brutal conflict yourself, but you also see the reasoning behind it.
This means, even if you have already played a second game, there are still many reasons to see The last of us‘New season. It does a great job of presenting the most interesting moments of the game. And if you are coming fresh, well, Season 2 is just the beginning of a brutal story – which will change the way you see these characters.
Of Season 2 The last of us Premier on HBO and Max on April 13.
