REVIEW: The Last of Us – Season 1, Episode 9, “Look for the Light”
HBO’s The Last of Us has thankfully come to its conclusion with episode 9, “Look for the Light.” After enough bloat to bore Hemingway, The Last of Us barrels to the end, forgetting that it has not invested enough of its overstuffed screen time in developing the relationship between Joel and El...
