Critics Consensus

Grabbing onto thorny moral questions with its bare hands, The Last of Us' second season is a challenging expansion that retains its predecessor's superb performances and verisimilitude.

The pieces are there, but they’re scattered, unable to form something truly memorable. Go to Full Review
Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) May 22, 2025
The chemistry between Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal is magnificent... their dynamic has been the heart of the show. Go to Full Review
Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Apr 22, 2025
Often these middle seasons can feel like a weigh station, an impatient stopover until the meat of the work in the final act but The Last of Us gifts the audience with many sublime moments that make it more than worthwhile in the meantime. Go to Full Review

Let's hope the show remembers that it's not enough to just show the brutality of the world. He has to make us feel that, despite everything, it's worth surviving. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

4/5
The Last of Us season 2 continues to set the bar for game adaptations, with stellar performances and action dialled up to eleven. But there’s no denying that fans of the source material will probably get more out of this season than those going in blind. Go to Full Review

Darrin M @RT15057856 Oct 16, 2026 The butch, woke lesbian character ruined this series for me. They snuck the same out-of-place lgbtq propaganda in the first season too. Waaaay too much gayness per capita to the point it’s clearly forced and therefore distracting to what the show could’ve been. See more DraculaBiscuits . @DraculaBiscuits Oct 12, 2026 Craig Mazin has ruined this TV show. Far too much departure from the source material, story elements being told in the wrong place, sub par acting. Isabela Merced as Dina and Young Mazino as Jesse were very, very good though. When I mentioned departure from the source material, I mean to the stage where it has become a totally different story in parts. I look forward to seeing more Kaitlyn Dever as Abby. I loved seeing Catherine O'Hara as a character too. There are many poignant parts of this story (in the game) that are completely defecated on from great heights and it sucks that they have taken one of the best games of a generation and turned it into a horrific adaptation. People who have never played the games might well love this but the story telling is a slap in the face to the people who have supported the game and studio through every remaster and release of this game. If HBO were set on a Last of Us story, they should have set it in the universe. Not allow Mazin to butcher it.

Lost interest for the characters after Joel's business. Story wasn't coherent and stakes didn't really exist. Didn't even watch the last episode. See more Terrell M @RedheadsReviews Sep 16, 2026 Season one was a bit better than season 2. This season two adaptation from the game was horrible. The casting again was subpar and the acting was horrible, the change of scenes from the game to the series was not good. See more Mateus G @mateus.gomes Sep 4, 2026 Season 1 was a great adaptation of the game. Season 2, however, is a mess. The changes to the plot and, especially, the characters’ appearances, personalities and behavior take away what made the original story work. It barely feels like the same characters anymore. A huge disappointment. See more Read all reviews
