Critics Consensus

Ellie and Joel's relationship hits an inflection point in "Kin," a relatively gentle installment that spotlights some of Pedro Pascal's most arresting work yet.

We’re well past the halfway point of this nine-part series, and it’s going pretty well so far. If you’re enjoying it as much as I am, you’d probably go further than that.

4/5

This is, in some respects, the least eventful episode of the season so far. But it also feels like the heart of the series.

5/5

A chilling way to cap off an episode that is neck-and-neck with “Long Long Time” for best of the season so far.

While, for the most part, nothing much happens in episode 6, it serves as an important episode in our understanding of where both Ellie and Joel are emotionally.
