The Last of Us Season 2: New series trailer Teast important game scenes and new characters
What exactly is criticized and praised? Similar to the games, part 2 differs from the first part, among other things, that the story is less focused on Joel and Ellie and instead several figures moves into the spotlight.
The newcomers Kaitlyn Dever (Abby), Isabel Merced (Dina) and Catherine O’Hara (therapist of Joel) are expressly praised several times and described as a great addition to the existing cast.
At the same time, however, it is also a shame that Bella Ramsey (Ellie) and Pedro Pascal (Joel) have less screen time than before. The relationship between the two is one of the highlights of the first season.
The quality of production is said to be at the highest level again, making some wonderful scenes waiting for the fans. The latte for the following video game adaptations is therefore very high again.
In contrast, the fact that the second season “only” offers seven episodes compared to the nine episodes of the first season is understood differently. On the one hand, there are fewer lengths in history, on the other hand, some critics would have liked more time for certain developments.
From April 14th you can get an idea of the new season The Last of Us.
