Max's The Last of Us can be summed up like this: mushroom zombies. Jones objects to narratives that start as video games, and Daniels just finds the overall series kind of so-so as far as these things go. But: episode three, "Long, Long Time," starring a terrific Nick Offerman, which stands alone fine without the rest of the story, is original, touching, exciting, and surprising. Who'd have thought the apocalypse could be this...well, nice?
