The Last of Us
A rather sedate third episode of the second season of HBO’s “The Last of Us” aired last night and served as a bridge between the Jackson and Seattle parts of the game-to-screen adaptation.

Next week’s fourth episode, however, sees the action return with a full Seattle-set episode adapting big chunks of the ‘Day 1’ section of the game including the major ‘The Tunnels’ set piece. Check out the official trailer for that episode below.
