The Last of Us (2023) S1 E5

Look, I have never watched an episode of this, and I know a lot of people like this; that being said, had a friend that watches this, couple of them actually, and they were talking about one of the episodes, think it was 3, and guess they were saying it takes place in 2023, and something about a zombie virus mutation from covid or something, and I immediately decided that just nope…full stop nope….

I watch very few shows anymore, and am at the point where I’m both zombied and covid’ed out to the point of exhaustion. I’m happy to see that people can watch it and that it’s good enough for others to be distracted from the world and all the BS going on by it, we need something to distract us for real.

I just can’t though. Not this one.

The people down-voting this comment should be ashamed of themselves.
They don’t have one drop of empathy.

I might have missed it but I have not heard covid mentioned at all in this series.
The virus began with a fungus. The pandemic is a scary thing. I’m sure millions of people have new lifestyles now that include not being able to leave their homes except for when absolutely necessary, which includes me.
And I’m never without a mask.

That being said, so far, this is a beautiful story with many moments that break your heart. At least we can still feel something.
