Apocalyptic Brilliance: Second Season of The Last of Us Receives Rave Reviews

On April 7, international critics released their reviews for the second season of the series «The Last of Us,» which is an adaptation of Naughty Dog’s video game The Last of Us Part 2. The reviewers have already watched all seven episodes and shared their thoughts on the continuation of one of the most popular shows in recent years.

Overall, critics have given high praise to the second season of «The Last of Us»: on the aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the project has a recommendation rating of 93% from journalists. They commend the show’s technical execution, highlighting the meticulous portrayal of a post-apocalyptic world, outstanding cinematography, a profound exploration of tribalism, and the exceptional performances of the main cast.

However, some drawbacks noted by the critics include an ambiguous ending that abruptly cuts off the storyline, as well as a dissonance between Bella Ramsey and the other actors. Some journalists feel that her character still resembles the 14-year-old Ellie from the first season, rather than the more mature 19-year-old protagonist from the original game.
