The Last of Us Season 2 premiere breakdown explores Abby's introduction, Joel and Ellie's new life in Jackson, and how the show adapts The Last of Us Part II's storyline. We discuss the evolution of key relationships and character motivations while highlighting significant departures from the game's narrative. The episode sets up central themes of revenge, survival, and broken trust that will drive this season forward (hopefully). New characters and plot developments provide fresh perspectives on this post-apocalyptic world to keep things fresh for those of us that have played the game. In our discussion of episode 1, we use what we know to see if we can figure out where we are heading this season.
