The second season lands its body blows to the soul early and often, as characters reel from unimaginable loss with fury and despair, debating revenge and the remote possibility of mercy.
The Last of Us is the best video game adaptation of all time, and it's also a fantastic TV drama in its own right. If you're on the fence about watching it, do yourself a favour and get involved as soon as possible.
Una belleza de serie, es la clara imagen de como hacer una muy buena adaptación. La actuación de Pedro Pascal como Joel Miller es la mejor, aunque la actriz no se parezca en nada a la del videojuego en apariencia, su actuación no es mala. Totalmente recomendada.
Mazin, Druckmann and the directors got the vital elements of "The Last of Us" right by honoring what makes the game outstanding and making its story come alive for anyone who has never played it and never will. Nonstop action can be enough to move along stories in that format and in comic books. Real people require additional dimensionality – and here, at last, is an apocalyptic fantasy that strives to give us that along with its monsters.
While Ellie’s teenage petulance may make some viewers as irritated with her as her surrogate dad, the season offers ample opportunity to explore both the origins and the cost of Ellie’s abrasiveness, and Ramsey’s performance takes us inside Ellie’s skin without softening her armor-plated exterior.
The Last of Us is undoubtedly a new landmark in the seemingly impossible task of adapting video games. It’s too early to say whether it will satisfy the legions of fans who believe that Druckmann’s survivalist game is high art, in itself. But Druckmann, working with Mazin, has his fingerprints all over this tender, well-crafted and blackly comic piece.
Season 2 of HBO’s Naughty Dog adaptation is not bad television, far from it. It’s incredibly well-made, often looks gorgeous, and is packed full of stellar performances. But the storytelling devices and choices made in terms of pace and placement for key events bump up against what works, ultimately not delivering the striking effect this story’s undeniable shocking events should.
In the end, by stripping out the gameplay from a vivid genre game that’s fleshed out by cinematic and televisual tropes, the series ends up as mostly just the latter: all flesh, no bones.
La mejor adaptación que se ha hecho de un videojuego con actores reales. Buenas interpretaciones de los personajes, de todos. Quizás no tiene el impacto que tuvo el juego, porque obviamente muchos ya conocen la historia, pero sigue emocionando. El episodio dirigido por Neil es de los mejores. Magnífico diseño de producción, artístico, visualmente es una delicia, una carta de amor al fan de TLOU. Lamentable la ola de odio que hay sobre la serie porque no eres capaz de aceptar que tu personaje favorito muere,aparte de la gentuza intolerante que necesitaría estar encerrada en un **** resumen, una gran adaptación, muy notable
Normally, season 2 is where most series find their stride and fall into what makes the series shine. But with ’The Last of Us’ Season 2, the show takes a step back. We found ourselves questioning whether we really cared after the short 7-episode season, and with it being only season 2, that’s a problem. It mainly falls on once the big sequence happens in episode 2, the season feels a little lost. Ellie’s journey, which is the main part of Part 2, is chopped up and feels like they were afraid to give us the hard emotions with her (and let her truly shine in action sequences). With season 3 potentially leaving Ellie behind to tell Abby’s story, our so-so cliffhanger from season 2 will get left on the back burner for years, and has left us wondering how the audience will stick with it. The potential of The Last of Us Part 2 taking 3 seasons and 6ish years to tell is a difficult thing to feel excited about. In the end, ‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 takes a step back with it’s storytelling and emotional impact, while also steering away from the virus and clickers to focus on other human groups. Overall, season 2 felt like a disappointment. Brad: 6.5
Josh: 7
Final: 6.5
