HBO's The Last of Us returns with a new season that examines the intricacies of love and trust in a post-apocalyptic world. Pedro Pascal's Joel and Bella Ramsey's Ellie, initially a close father-daughter-like duo, find themselves estranged five years later in Jackson, Wyoming. The season poses challenging questions about the impact of lies on relationships and the decisions necessary for survival. As Joel grapples with his past deception, the show offers deeper emotional stakes beyond mere horror, emphasizing the importance of truth and connection in dire circumstances.
In its new season, The Last of Us challenges that notion of found family with a simple question: If the person you decide to love lies to you even to protect you, does that eventually destroy the bond?
A father-daughter bond under stress Fans who vibed on Joel and Ellie's hard-won bond may find it a bit jarring if expected to see the new season open five years later with the two characters estranged from each other.
