Last week, HBO's The Last of Us surprised eagle-eyed fans of the video game by tweaking the story of one of its early important characters, Tess.
But this week creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann delivered their biggest twist yet — completely rewriting the story of one of the original game's most beloved characters.
Making sweeping changes in adaptations is normally a quick ticket to fan outrage. And yet fans and newcomers to the series alike are hailing the new story as a "miniature masterpiece" and one of the best episodes of television for a long time.
