The cast and crew of ‘The Last of Us’ reflected on the themes of season one.
As The Last of Us concludes on HBO after a tremendous first season, the time has come to look back on what made the show such a breakout hit for the network, with skyrocketing and record-breaking viewing figures mixed with critical acclaim for the apocalyptic drama, led magnificently by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. Speaking with Empire Magazine, the key players in the series have reflected on the successes and the scenes which worked best for them throughout their process.
Pascal concurs. "It's like the icing on the cake with a cherry on top, and a little crack!" The episode marked a milestone too, for its representation of LGBTQ characters 'of a certain age'. "The letters that we've received are beautiful and sometimes make me cry," said Mazin. "Over the last 20 years, the visibility of LGBTQ people on television has increased dramatically, but not necessarily if you're 65 or 75 and in a monogamous relationship.
Riley, David, First Love and The End of Innocence Episode 7 takes us on another diversion back in time, but on this occasion, it's with Ellie. Based on the video game add-on Left Behind, it follows Ellie on a night of fun-turned-tragedy with Riley , her best friend and first crush. The game, a flashback, is set in the Winter section of The Last of Us, when a stricken Joel is on the verge of death, and Ellie - alone - ventures out to seek food and medicine.
