HBOâs The Last of Us series may have drawn to a close - season one has anyway - but that hasnât stopped people talking about the show. Itâs undeniably still the talk of the town and with all the season two speculation, I shouldnât imagine thatâll stop anytime soon.
When it comes to The Last of Usâ season finale, fans are in agreement that Ashley Johnson crushed it as Anna. In fact, many are calling for an Anna prequel series - including one actor from the show. Joelâs actions have also been a hot topic for debate. For the most part, fans are siding with Joel - as is showrunner Craig Mazin who called Joel a âheroâ but not in a conventional sense. With all episodes out now, many fans are announcing their favourites. Itâs sad and disappointing to see though that The Last of Usâ LGBT-centred episodes are the seriesâ lowest due to review-bombing.
The Last of Us Part I launches on PC on 28 March. Take a look at the game in action below.
Itâs been a recurring problem all season long. If you hop on over to IMDb, youâll see that the lowest rated episodes are âLong Long Timeâ with a rating of 8, and âLeft Behindâ with a rating of 7.4 Both episodes feature prominent LGBT relationships. In âLong Long Time,â we witnessed the relationship between Bill and Frank while in âLeft Behind,â we got to see Ellieâs relationship with first love Riley.

Back in January, âLong Long Timeâ was hit by the first wave of review-bombing with many saying that the episode was pushing âpolitical propaganda,â which is complete and utter nonsense. History then repeated itself when âLeft Behindâ aired in late February. I shanât be permitting space to recall any of those so-called âreviews.â
For the most part, viewers have embraced the series wholeheartedly - including its representation of minority groups. Nick Offerman was quick to respond to trolls, while Bella Ramsey has been doing the same all season long. I think the vast majority of us adored both episodes though. Keep doing what you do, The Last of Us.
