"The Last of Us" S2 finale won 6 points: the fast pace leads to the plot being stiff!

May 26 2025

  HBO's "The Last of Us" live-action drama season 2 will be released today, the finale of the seventh episode! IGN gives a 6-point evaluation for this episode.

  The comment pointed out that the season's finale reached the climax with a highly compact narrative rhythm, which created strong dramatic tension, but also led to the development of some plots being slightly hasty. The protagonist Ellie's journey of revenge fell to a low point at this moment, but because the early plot twist was too fierce, the final emotional impact weakened.

The drama review specifically affirmed the performance of the rivalry between Ellie, Tina and Jesse, and believed that the sincere emotional exchange between them laid a solid foundation for the subsequent major plot twists. But the comment also pointed out that the series gives viewers a clear lack of time to digest these plots. Although the ending successfully laid the groundwork for the storyline between Ellie and Abby in the third season, there is a certain difference between her slightly stiff narrative twist and the overall delicate style of the work.

  According to foreign media Collider, the screenwriter of the drama Craig Mazin revealed in an interview that given the richness of the game content of "The Last of Us 2", the series is likely to be extended to the end of four seasons, rather than the previous plan only three seasons.
