Curious as to why everyone is talking about The Last of Us? The series, based on the acclaimed video game of the same name from Sony Interactive and Naughty Dog, has been growing its audience as the season goes on. Last Sunday’s episode reached over 6.4 million people the night it aired, and the show joined the ranks of HBO Max’s current roster of wildly popular shows averaging over 15 million total viewers per episode alongside The White Lotus, Euphoria and House of the Dragon. If you want to see what all the fuss is about, you can watch it on HBO Max, starting at $10 a month.

Pedro Pascal stars in the role of Joel, while Bella Ramsey from Game of Thrones stars as Ellie. Other actors involved in the show’s production include Murray Bartlett, Storm Reid, Nick Offerman, Merle Dandridge, Gabriel Luna and more. The plot follows Joel as he rescues Ellie from a quarantine zone 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed and their travels across the United States to get to their destination.
In particular, the show’s third episode received much praise for the bittersweet queer romance depicted by Bartlett and Offerman. The episode even garnered Linda Ronstadt renewed popularity after her song “Long Long Time” appeared in a key scene. Each subsequent episode of The Last of Us seems to draw in more viewers and more impressed critics, so there has never been a better time to watch on HBO Max. It’s so popular that it’s already been renewed for a second season.
