‘The Last of Us’ flips the script and sets off in a new direction
The second season of the zombie hit has more focus on action sequences than the first, and feels closer to the game with its exploration of post-apocalyptic cities, looting and foraging for supplies.
Unless you’ve been engrossed negotiating a real zombie apocalypse over the past two years, the return of Max’s hit series The Last of Us is unlikely to have slipped your notice.
Adapted from the PlayStation video game, this dystopian tale of survival took the world by storm in 2023, setting new standards for high-quality streaming. In the first instalment, a fungal outbreak (Cordyceps brain infection) and subsequent global pandemic 20 years in the past (2003) has caused societal collapse and millions of deaths.
