The second season cannot match the world-building revelations of the first. There is still plenty to see and learn. .... Some questions are answered almost immediately, while others are left to linger for an unusual number of beats. But as previously noted, the real narrative of this season is about consequences, and by extension, choices, which makes it far more inward-focused than the first.

This season has a narrower scope than the first, without the standalone, digressive episodes that were some of the original run’s best. It’s all about Ellie becoming her own person, which happily means a lot more of Ramsey’s wonderfully punchy portrayal of a damaged young soul fighting for autonomy.

Ramsey homes in on how learning to live with that duality eats away at Ellie, and how a straight line can be drawn between Joel’s teachings and all the good and bad that the girl does. And it’s that insight, coupled with the nuance breathed into even the season’s smallest characters, many of whom inspect their lives with the quiet hope that the better angels within them keep the roiling hatred creeping in at the margins from swallowing their world whole, that keeps The Last of Us from succumbing to wall-to-wall misanthropy.

This follow up is oddly workmanlike. .... To pretend that The Last of Us completely transcends its original medium would be to ignore the hole at the center of the show where insight and complexity and rich supporting characters should be. What fill out the episodes instead are extended zombie-battle scenes and long, silent sequences where people explore gorgeously decaying spaces. At those moments, you might as well be watching someone play a video game.
