The Last of Us has always prided itself on being a faithful adaptation, but that doesn’t always mean showing everything in the game, at least, not in the same order. Season 1 added the villain Kathleen, an ultra-zealous cannibalistic cult, and the heartbreaking standalone episode showing the love story between Bill and Frank.
In Season 2, we see this in the beginning with the addition of Gail, Joel’s therapist and the wife of the late Eugene. But after that, things more or less lined up with The Last of Us Part II. But in the penultimate episode of Season 2, this all changes with an attempt at a standalone episode that fills in the gaps left from the game, but quickly becomes too much of a good thing.
