‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 is arriving soon. Here’s a Season 1 recap

As a passionate movie enthusiast, I’d express it like this: Crafted by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann, HBO’s critically acclaimed survival drama takes us into a world overrun by a baffling mutant cordyceps fungus, transforming humans into terrifying, mindless beasts. Based on the popular video game, this gripping nine-episode series chronicled the story of hardened smuggler-turned-surrogate father figure Joel (Pedro Pascal) and his teen companion Ellie (Bella Ramsey), who embarked on a treacherous cross-country journey to uncover a cure for this devastating infection. It’s Ellie’s unique immunity that offers our last hope for salvation.
