The Last of Us fans of the HBO TV series all agree that Lamar Johnson absolutely smashed it as Henry in episode 5.
Over the weekend we were treated to the amazing fifth episode of The Last of Us TV series adaptation. Not only did we get to see the menacing Bloater, but we also got to see a new type of Clicker, superbly played by a nine-year-old girl.
Without question, at least from a monster perspective, the Clicker girl stole the show. However, from a human perspective, the performance of Lamar Johnson as Henry as well as Keivonn Westwood absolutely smashed it.
