The Last of Us adaptation is known for its fidelity to the original game, yet it introduces new characters and arcs, particularly in Season 2. While initial episodes maintain closeness to game events, the penultimate episode diverges with a standalone story that attempts to fill gaps but could overwhelm viewers. Key moments from Ellie's backstory, including her interactions with Joel, are depicted, alongside narrative expansions involving Joel's therapist, showcasing a mix of innovation and the risks of deviating from the game's pacing.
In Season 2, the series introduces new characters and storylines, including Joel's therapist Gail and additional backstories, though it becomes less faithful towards the season's end.
The standalone episode in Season 2 strives to fill narrative gaps from the game but ultimately risks overwhelming the audience with excessive detail.
