We've been obsessed with The Last of Us games and the HBO show for years -- yeah it's thrilling and horrific, but more than that, it's about love, and loss, and the blurred lines between right and wrong. Are you as ready for season two as we are? Hope so, because as always we're thrilled to have you guys along for the ride. So join Jason, Lucy, Erik, and Ben as we dive in and look at this show from all the angles!
