If you have HBO Max, you’ll be able to witness Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) early next week. The Last of Us will premiere Episode 5 on the streamer and HBO On Demand two days early on Friday, February 10, before airing on the linear network at its regular hour on Sunday, February 12.
The move comes as HBO’s original drama continues to gain viewers and expand with each new episode. The Last of Us scored the network’s second-highest audience for a series debut in a decade, trailing only the behemoth Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, and went on to produce record growth from a premiere to Episode 2 as the series drew in its last sceptics.
Meanwhile, Episode 3 has been the series’ highlight to date, attracting 6.4 million viewers, the most in the series’ history, to watch what is largely regarded as its most emotional episode to date.
Stream it early.

What Happened in the Last of Us Season 1 Episode 4?
Ellie is messing about with the rifle she found and looks in the mirror. Outside, we find Joel syphoning gas from one car in order to refuel the truck and get back on the road. Ellie is still a thorn in Joel’s side, but this time she’s reciting jokes from a pun book.
Joel begins to become increasingly protective of Ellie. This time, at night, she seeks his assurance that everything will be fine. They came found tremendous wreckage that obstructed the interstate as they drove down the motorway. As a result, they will have to turn around and return to the highway via the city.
When they get in town, they discover that the checkpoint is deserted. During this time, a man appears injured, but we shortly discover that he was faking, and when Joel floored it, they collide. A massive gunfight ensues, with Joel ensuring Ellie’s safety before taking down two of the men. Joel believes he is safe until a man bursts through the back door and knocks him down. Ellie intervenes and shoots Joel in the back as he is about to joke to death.
We now meet Kathleen, who is asking someone regarding the location of certain persons, particularly Henry. Everything but what she wants to hear is said by the man. Her soldiers arrive just as she is ready to pull the trigger to inform her that one of her guys has been shot. She begins to panic and returns inside, where she murders the man.

The Last of Us Season 1 Review
The Last Of Us is off to a good start, and as far as video game adaptations go this is a solid adaptation. So far. It’s too early to call this a masterpiece or give it a high 9 or 10. You cannot watch the first act of anything and say it’s immediately overall a masterpiece. Remember, this might all lead to the problems and character assassinations of The Last Of Us Part II. The Last Of Us will serve as a unique test.
Will HBO and the creators listen to their audience and stick very closely to adapting Part I of The Last Of Us, but win fans overwhelmingly by deviating away from the events of The Last Of Us Part II? Hopefully, but it’s far too early to tell.

The acting is solid, the production designs and sets are superb, and the slow-burn opening in the first episode left a good impact. There are changes made to the adaptation, but for many, these are subtle and go without damaging anyone or anything. There are fair criticisms to be made. Example in episode II, “Use a grenade!”. And why is Ellie making so much noise in a zombie apocalypse?
However, The Last Of Us, so far, proves a video game can be adapted well into film. Good so far, but it’s far far too early to give this high praise.
So far this is around a 7/10. Good with the potential to be even better, or at its worst end up being The Last Of Us Part II.
