Critic Reviews
The Last of Us Review: The Adaptation That Understood the Assignment
★★★★½
HBO's The Last of Us proves a great game can become great television by trusting its quietest instincts — swapping set-piece horror for the slow, unbearable tenderness of two people learning to matter to each other.
A beautifully acted, emotionally punishing adaptation that clears the video-game curse with room to spare. Occasionally uneven, frequently sublime.
