5/5

This is an unusual series, not just for its soulful interludes amid the parasitic carnage, but in the way every few episodes there’ll be one that’s head and shoulders above the others. This was one of them.

5/5

...a rattling, 100mph white-knuckle ride that set up stakes for the rest of the narrative that were so much higher than you could have expected (unless you’ve played the games).

4/5

The siege scene is a remarkable bit of action filmmaking made all the more effective by the scenes laying out exactly how Jackson planned to defend itself.

The Last Of Us season 2 episode 2 is masterful in its storytelling and assures us that Druckmann and Mazin aren’t afraid to steer away from the games’ events while still staying true to the spirit of it.

The one two punch of the events at the lodge and the attack on Jackson make this an early stand-out for best episode of the year.
