A bit of housecleaning before we dive into the review. I have not played The Last of Us and have (miraculously) managed to remain completely in the dark about the contents of the second game – upon which this and the remaining seasons of the series will be based. So, these reviews will not call […]
This might end up being an unpopular opinion, but the much anticipated return of Pedro Pascal’s Joel to The Last of Us via flashback this week left me mostly cold. Now, that’s not the fault of Pascal, who was acting his ass off throughout the episode, but more so the fault of Craig Mazin and […]
This week’s episode of The Last of Us had a delightful smattering of what makes the series work, as well as all the elements that drive me nuts. Which, to be honest, is a pretty impressive combination for a single hour of television. And the tease of a flashback episode next week? Yeah, that’s something […]

It’s that time of year again. The temperature is dropping, the days are growing shorter, and 2023 is drawing to a close. Which can only mean one thing: It’s time for Pop Culture Maniacs’ annual TV Top Ten list! This year in television was a tumultuous one, as it was for all of Hollywood, with […]
The first season finale of The Last of Us was excellent for a number of reasons. Strong performances, once again, from our two leads – along with some great work from Merle Dandridge in her return as Marlene and Ashley Johnson (the video game’s Ellie) as Ellie’s mother, Anna.* A story that was unafraid to […]
My god, is Bella Ramsey a great actor. That’s what I found myself saying over and over to myself following the close of this week’s The Last of Us. After starting the series off as the closed-off counterpart to Joel – a character we knew far more about than we did Ellie, Ramsey has gotten […]
