HBO Max’s prestige drama series based on Naughty Dog’s magnum opus, The Last of Us is garnering overwhelmingly positive reviews all over the board. However, the fans are very bittersweet towards the show as, though it is more than able to offer a very intriguing narrative, the show’s shock value is also very ‘traumatizing’. 

The last few episodes, especially episodes 3 and 5, are seen as some of the greatest moments in the history of television as the episodes delivered a prestige drama narrative. But the way the characters met their end and the emotions that were apparent in the episodes were too much for many to digest. 

The Last of Us fans are ready to be traumatized again

While the previous Last of Us episodes set a benchmark for the fans to build their expectations, the upcoming episode 6 is expected to be much more devastating than any of the previous ones. The new episode will reveal the first climax of the show. In this episode, Joel will be finally reunited with his brother.

The official Twitter page of The Last of Us, shared a behind the scene picture from the latest episode, giving a tease of what the fans could expect from the new episode. The image featured the show’s lead, Ellie (Bella Ramsey) in white snow-filled land. Many fans gave a nod to Bella’s previous major role in Game of Thrones, where snow or Winter had a major purpose.
