They made a self contained love story within the confines of a fungal world calamity and made you love the 2 characters and mourn their losses all within 30 minutes of introducing you to them in the first place.

That’s pretty much as good as writing, direction, acting and pacing can get.

I certainly won’t say it’s ‘one of the best tv episodes ever’ but it was brilliant.

Whenever a thing is supposed to be big, all of a sudden the entertainment press will talk about it and talk it up, and are trying to create as much experience to drum up business. Manufacture controversy where there is none, talk about how amazing a B+ episode of a show was, talk up an actor who is prospective for several big roles, etc. Just watch what you like and ignore media press - its as manufactured as the shows and actors it’s reporting on.

The Last of Us so far is shattering expectations and could very likely end up on my best of TV list of 2023 if the remaining episodes are as good as the first 3. HBO is on track to having the best television output again with the fourth seasons of both Succession and Barry out this year. The White House Plumbers and Love and Death have potential with great casts. Hopefully True Detective has their best season since the first. Reservation Dogs S3 hasn't got a release date, but if it comes out this year it'd definitely be one of my most anticipated shows. Season 2 was my second favorite season of television in 2022 behind Better Call Saul Season 6. It was a perfect blend of humor and heartfelt drama.
