i think you should try to gauge it yourself if you don't care about spoilers.. read the "parental reviews" this is not "slasher" - but there's violence for sure - appropriate. not gratuitous IMO.

​

i don't like it when the dog dies either..

​

not sure what you're expecting (did you play the game)?

​

this is not a zombie show like Walking Dead or Black Summer...

it's amazing - the game won awards for writing, acting and directing.. not gameplay (mechanics).. go look at some of those reviews to see what the show might be about.

​

she'd probably be missing out, TBH.

“Long Long Time,” the third episode of The Last of Us, shifts the focus from Joel and Ellie for much of its running time. Still, it’s deeply connected to one of the show’s central concerns with the sort of connections that can survive the cordyceps apocalypse and what it takes to sustain those connections in a world defined by dehumanization, only some of it caused by mind-controlling fungus. It’s also, in the purest sense of the phrase, a very special episode, the best of the series so far, and an extraordinary hour (and some change) of television by any standards.
