The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 2 Early Review
As pointed out by the YouTuber, Verne Day from Newsday had earlier stated, “Let’s start with next Sunday’s episode, a master class in direction and special effects that will churn your guts and scramble your brain. You will emerge out the other side a different person — which may not be what you’re looking for but at least you’ll know what it’s like to be transformed by something as seemingly ephemeral as a TV show. This also happens to be one of the best TV episodes I’ve ever seen.”
