What TV To Watch

The Last of Us

At first I thought, “not another zombie show,” but this one is different.  Twenty years after a pandemic that turns the infected into zombie-like creatures, smuggler Joel is given the task of delivering teenage Ellie (who is immune to the infection) to people who may be able to use her immunity to devise a cure or vaccine. The show is about relationships, about humanity, about what priorities and compromises people make when the world ends.  Critically, this show is about the relationship between Joel and Ellie (and some really bad puns).
