The Last of Us슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Season 2 Episode 1 Review:슬롯 머신 사이트 추천By the end of the first season of The Last of Us, Joel (Pedro Pascal) has solved his trolley problem (Google it if you don슬롯사이트™t know what that means) in the way he believed was right in the moment - he doomed humanity to save Ellie (Bella Ramsey). And that decision came with a lot of bloodshed, along with a secret he슬롯사이트™s keeping from Ellie.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천The Last of Us Season Finale Review: Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey슬롯사이트™s Post-Apocalyptic Series Sticks the Landing and Delivers an Amazing Game-to-Series Adaptation!
If you슬롯사이트™ve played The Last of Us Part II, you슬롯사이트™ll know these two decisions will cost Joel dearly, and a deeply emotional journey lies ahead for both Joel and Ellie. The first episode sets the stage, taking place five years after the events of the previous season슬롯사이트™s finale. Clickers and other zombie-like infected still roam the world, but the remaining humans have built small communities to survive. Joel and Ellie now live in the commune at Jackson, where his younger brother Tommy (Gabriel Luna) and Tommy슬롯사이트™s wife Maria (Rutina Wesley) are part of the leadership.

But when we meet them again - it's now 2029 - Joel and Ellie are clearly not on good terms. We know why, but no one else does. Ellie lives in the garage, friendly with everyone but Joel. A resentful Joel has started therapy, though his psychotherapist Gail (Catherine O슬롯사이트™Hara) seems to have her own grievances with him. And Joel, of course, isn슬롯사이트™t exactly being honest about why Ellie is upset.
Ellie, meanwhile, has become a pro at taking down Clickers, treating it with an almost casual confidence. She슬롯사이트™s also developed feelings for her best friend, the warm and cheerful Dina (Isabela Merced), who has recently broken up with fellow camper Jesse (Young Mazino). During a routine patrol, Ellie encounters a new kind of infected - more intelligent and capable of sneaking up on people. (If I슬롯사이트™m not mistaken, these were called 슬롯사이트˜Stalkers슬롯사이트™ in the game.) This sets the stage for even more intense encounters in episodes to come.
And yes, we슬롯사이트™re introduced to Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) and a small group of surviving Fireflies. They슬롯사이트™re heading to Jackson with one goal슬롯사이트”revenge.
The first episode of The Last of Us Season 2 delivers everything fans would expect, with excellent direction and writing from슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Craig Mazin. There슬롯사이트™s intense drama (courtesy of Joel and Ellie), thrilling horror (that abandoned warehouse sequence), and the beginning of a tender romance (between Ellie and Dina), which, of course, takes a dramatic turn.
The series continues its knack for expanding minor game characters into fully realised, emotionally rich roles - just look at the unforgettable, heartbreaking episode 3, "Long, Long Time," from last season. This time, Catherine O슬롯사이트™Hara슬롯사이트™s Gail appears to be a completely original character, loosely connected to someone only mentioned in the game. Her scenes with Pedro Pascal feature some truly impressive acting from both.
The performances remain top-tier. Pascal continues to be in solid form - his Joel is now battle-weary and almost broken by his surrogate daughter슬롯사이트™s distance. One standout moment is the therapy scene, where Joel struggles through a deeply internalised anguish and Pascal absolutely sells that scene. As for Bella Ramsey, she was excellent last season, and her casting슬롯 머신 사이트 추천felt so spot-on. This sea, she does appear slightly younger than a 19-year-old might, though her performance remains incredibly strong.
Isabela Merced brings warmth and charm to Dina, making her instantly likeable. Kaitlyn Dever is only seen in the prologue and again in the final scene, but from what I슬롯사이트™ve heard from those who슬롯사이트™ve seen the whole season, her character gets significantly more attention in the next one (Season 2 adapts only half of The Last of Us Part II, after all).슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜The Last of Us슬롯사이트™ Sets Return With Season 3 on HBO Ahead of Season 2 Premiere on April 13.
'The Last of Us' Season 2 Episode 1 Review - Final Thoughts
All in all, the premiere episode of The Last of Us Season 2 does a solid job of setting the tone for what슬롯사이트™s to come - grief, tension, violence, and messy human drama. It슬롯사이트™s clear the story isn슬롯사이트™t going to pull any punches, and if you슬롯사이트™ve played the game, you probably know just how brutal things are about to get. But even for those going in blind, the writing, performances, and atmosphere in the first episoe does a sold job of teasing we are in for some bleak times. The Last of Us Season 2 is premiering in USA on Max and in India on JioHotstar.
