The Last of Us Season 2 adapts the second game's complex narrative, delving into Joel's decision to lie to Ellie about the fate of humanity after he saved her. This season, set five years later, explores the layers of their relationship amidst the threats posed by the infected and their struggle within a new community. Critics argue that the season brings a daring freshness compared to the original game, challenging viewers and diving deeper into the consequences of Joel's actions. Despite not reaching the 'prestige' moment of the game, the adaptation promises emotional depth and complexity.
The second season is hardly the meandering middle act of a trilogy, as what it does translate from game to TV is just as moving as before, and even more daring.
Joel chose not to admit to Ellie that he'd essentially damned the entire world in order to save her life, and Ellie chose to take him at his word.
