And that's it: after nine weeks of episodes, HBO's TV adaptation of The Last of Us has concluded its retelling of the PS3 game. A lot like the previous eight episodes, the finale remains faithful in many places but then deviates in others. We're sure fans will have their opinions on the way Joel and Ellie are captured by the Fireflies in the TV show compared to the game, while the opening handful of minutes focus on how Ellie has become immune to the Cordyceps outbreak.
However, the final episode concludes in the same way the game does. As Joel lies about what happened at the hospital, Ellie simply replies: «Okay.» Then it's a cut to credits, with a second season promised for the future.

I haven't been wild about every episode this season and the season itself felt very uneven, having a few episodes they could have either cut out completely or cut down the content of in favor of other story beats, but this particular episode was bang on! Bravo and a great ending. Looking forward to season 2!
