‘The Last of Us’ Critics and Fans are Calling Episode 3 One of the Best Episodes of Television Ever

HBO’s The Last of Us continues to make waves with its third installment, setting a new standard. Though some liberties were taken from the source material, viewers largely didn’t seem to mind – in fact, they enjoyed it even more! It appears that this episode has been well-received and is certainly living up to expectations.

Fans of the show were astounded by how things turned out, with many dubbing it not only as one of the best episodes in its series but also for television as a whole. It may be an audacious declaration to make, yet it is obvious that viewers are resonating strongly with this episode.

For fans of video games, the prospect of TV and film adaptations is usually met with apprehension due to past missteps. However, in recent years there have been some genuinely great movies and shows based on the very same games – a refreshing twist that gives us hope for future endeavors!

It’s a blessing that The Last of Us is being received just as well in its adaptation as the original game. Let us hope this trend holds true for the rest of this season, and on into Season 2!
