Episode Synopsis

HBO’s The Last of Us, based on the acclaimed video game of the same name, is an early contender for show of the year.
We discuss the narrative deviations from the source material, its staunch loyalty to the game’s themes, and the episodic nature of the series.
Along the way, we rave about the standout third episode, and speculate about the behind-the-scenes drama that led to original pilot director Kantemir Balagov being replaced.
