Episode 2 of the HBO TV series adaptation of The Last of Us continues with another strong episode, that deftly and faithfully reinterprets the events of the video game, while adding several new and worthwhile elements to the tale.
After ending Episode 1, ‘When You’re Lost in the Darkness’, with Joel and Tess discovering that Ellie is infected, and potentially immune, Episode 2, ‘Infected’, sees the two adults coming to terms with what this means, while Ellie is exposed to the dangerous nature of the virus in the world outside the Quarantine Zone.
