what happens
After five years of peace following the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie's collective past catches up to them, drawing them into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.

〰️ uneven — Peaks and dips, no clear shape. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. In the last stretch it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. Very little of it ever resolves.

“The pacing is bad IMO. Way too fucking quick. This season only having 7 episodes is gonna hurt it quite a bit. Next episode is the flash back episode then episode 7 is already the finale. Way way way too rushed.”
