The Last of Us: When You're Lost in the Darkness episode

"[This] Is How You Start a TV Show (...) A chilling symphony of an opening episode destroys one world, creates another, and expertly sets up a precise and punishing season of television." 

"The casting here is universally brilliant. Pascal is perfect as Joel (...) We don’t get a ton of Ellie yet, but I think Ramsay is perfect (...) The supporting cast is all terrific as well, and really capture the feel of the video game’s characters." 

"Touching yet explosive, it encapsulates everything that makes the opening chapter of the video game’s story so special - whether it's the first or the hundred-and-first time that it's punched you squarely in the gut (...) Rating: 9 (ouf ot 10)" 

"Hits all of the beats expected from HBO’s new blockbuster zombie apocalypse show, even if some of those elements feel largely formulaic. However, in the finer details, there are hints of a much richer show waiting to burst out."
