The Last of Us season 1 may very well go down in history as not only one of the best video game adaptations ever made, but one of the best dystopian sci-fi shows of all time. Following the events of Naughty Dog's hugely successful game – The Last of Us Part 1 – the first season told the story of a grief-stricken smuggler and a stubborn orphan who, in a world ravaged by disease and overrun with half-dead humanoids, formed a beautiful and unlikely bond.
That story continues in The Last of Us Part 2, but it takes a turn for the worst, and becomes an unimaginable tale of loss and revenge. Season 2 adapts the second game over seven tumultuous episodes, but rather than picking back up after the harrowing events of the season 1 finale, we stay close to the source material and jump forward five years to an angry, 19-year-old Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and a hardened, defeated Joel (Pedro Pascal).
