‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 Is a Wrenching Saga of Revenge That Lets Bella Ramsey Take the Reins: TV Review


Season 2 of HBO's 'The Last of Us' continues the faithful game adaptation while placing Bella Ramsey in the spotlight.

Before they settle down in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, now repurposed from a ski resort into a refuge from the zombies infected by the Cordyceps fungus ravaging a post-apocalyptic America, smuggler Joel (Pedro Pascal) lies to Ellie ( Bella Ramsey), his living cargo turned de facto adopted daughter. The series remains a feat of production, from the lushly overgrown abandoned cityscapes to the gorgeous natural scenery to the hordes of Infected, especially in a harrowing battle episode directed by network stalwart Mark Mylod (“Succession,” “Game of Thrones”). There’s a barter economy, a patrol system and a democratic local government, with Joel’s brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna) and sister-in-law Maria (Rutina Wesley) as de facto leaders of an elected council.
