The Issue with “The Last of Us" HBO
22Welcome to From A Writer's Perspective, where we analyse stories throughout different mediums. The Last of Us has created a bit of a storm these last years, whether it's through the release of Part 2, their remake or the recently finished series. But nothing has captured the attention of the internet quite like these 9 episodes of adaptation.
Just like in 2021, the internet went to war with each other, their weapons one polarizing opinion after another. And we want to sit in the middle. While we already mentioned in our last review that episode 1 to 5 did a good job at setting up the overall themes of the game, we do have some issues with the overall pacing of the series.
