How “The Last Of Us” Episode 3 Departed From The Game in a Beautiful, Heartbreaking Way

There will be spoilers for episode three below, so avoid this story like you’d avoid Cordyceps if you haven’t watched it yet!

So, have you dried your tears after watching the third episode of The Last of Us, “Long Long Time”?

The third episode in HBO’s phenomenal new series was a heartbreaker that switched focus from the journey of Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) to two other survivors, Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank (Murray Bartlett)...

“Succession” Season 4 Trailer Finds the Roy Children United Against Logan

Oh, the Roy family. You have to wonder what they’d do if they all got everything they wanted. Then again, there is no conceivable outcome in which every member of the Roy family is satisfied; their very natures preclude them from contentment, a statement you could probably make about most people, but in their case, seems like a genuinely pathological affliction. The first teaser for Succession season four finds the Roy kids ready and willing to go to war with their father,...

Rian Johnson’s New Mystery Series “Poker Face” With Natasha Lyonne is a Royal Flush With Critics

Who better to revive the mystery-of-the-week concept than Mr. Knives Out himself, Rian Johnson, and Ms. Russian Doll herself, Natasha Lyonne? The pairing is too perfect, and the conceit of their new mystery series is too delicious, so you’d be forgiven for assuming that Poker Face (Peacock) would merely deliver a pleasing new diversion, a pair of Jacks if you will. Instead, critics are calling Poker Face a royal flush.

Here’s the conceit;...

HBO’s “The Last Of Us” Delivers Astonishing Second Ep For Largest-Ever Viewership Growth

If you watched the riveting second episode of HBO’s The Last Of Us, you were a part of history. The series delivered the largest-ever viewership growth for a drama from a premiere episode to its second, according to measurements by Nielsen.

HBO’s “The Last Of Us” Has Massive Debut

First came the outstanding reviews, and then came a monster debut. It’s all good news for HBO’s The Last Of Us, which lived up to its hype with not a more or less unanimously positive critical reception—it’s sitting at 99% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes—but by pulling in a whopping 4.7 million viewers across all linear and HBO Max platforms on Sunday night in the United States. This puts the video game adaptation, from co-creators Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) and Craig Druckmann (the creator of the original game),...

“The Mandalorian” Season 3 Trailer Finds Din Djarin & Grogu Attempting a Dangerous Homecoming

Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu are back together again, which means their adventures are only going to get more intense. The official trailer for The Mandalorian season three dropped during last night’s NFL playoff game between the Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and we’re guessing the action in The Mandalorian will be a lot more evenly matched. Especially considering our heroic bounty hunter will attempt to right the wrongs of his past.

We’ve also learned that a slate of excellent new directors joined The Mandalorian in season three,...

The first teaser trailer for Yellowjackets season 2 is finally here, revealing a snack-sized glimpse at the return of one of TV’s most satisfying thrillers. Then again, Yellowjackets is more than just a thriller; it’s equal parts survival epic, a coming-of-age drama, and a psychological horror story. Season one was a practically flawlessly executed medley of all those genres, brought off by stellar performances from an ensemble of incredible actresses and some ace directing. The series was created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson,...

As we wrote yesterday, HBO’s The Last of Us is one of the biggest series coming out in 2023 and probably the most ambitious new show from the network since House of the Dragon. And while it would be unfair to set the expectations for The Last of Us at Game of Thrones levels, the hopes for the new series aren’t that far off from that. A new behind-the-scenes look released by HBO lets you visit The Last of Us set,...

HBO’s “The Last Of Us” Looks to Become a Truly Great Video Game Adaptation

There’s a solid argument to be made that one of the most intriguing new series coming out in 2023 is based on a video game. Putting aside the wobbly track record that video game adaptations have had across film and television, in this instance, there’s a very good reason for hope. The creators behind HBO’s The Last Of Us have gone to great lengths to break the curse of video game adaptations by both leaning into the source material and drowning out the noise about how these adaptations have proven so difficult in the past...

“The Consultant” Teaser Introduces Christoph Waltz’s as a Corporate Hatchet Man

If you’ve ever worked in corporate America, then perhaps you’ve been subject to one of the more unpleasant aspects of corporate governance; when a consultant is hired to “improve the business.” What “improve the business” often means is firing people after putting them through a review process, a dynamic that was explored, to hilarious effect, in Mike Judge’s 1999 comedy Office Space. (A cheerful colleague mock-frowning at another and saying, “Looks like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays”...
