I knew that the general audience response to The Last Of Us Season 2 would be divisive because the gamers' response to the game is the same way. Some love it, some hate it, very few fall in between. Killing off Joel, one of the main characters and a beloved one at that, is a bold move, but it is all done for the greater good of the story. I it, I hated when I was forced to play Abby and therefore relate to her and understand her motives. That part of the adaptation is coming up in The Last Of Us Season 3, which is when I really expected the hate to come. I cannot say for sure why the internet has decided to hate this latest season so much, when it is very much the story of the game with a few small tweaks.
