If you haven’t heard of The Last of Us yet, allow me to introduce your next TV obsession. The HBO hit has taken the world by storm—and no, that’s not just internet hype. With a near-perfect 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a leading role played by everyone’s favorite on-screen heart-throb, Pedro Pascal, it’s safe to say this show is having a moment.
The Last of Us is a post-apocalyptic drama set twenty years after a devastating fungal infection turns humans into zombies and topples civilization as we know it. (Yes, it’s every bit as intense as it sounds.) Pascal plays Joel, a hardened survivor with a painful past, who’s tasked with transporting a teenager named Ellie out of a quarantine zone. But Ellie isn’t just any teenager—Ellie may be the key to saving humanity.
