RELATED: The Last Of Us Episode 7 Review Was Episode 7 Of The Last Of Us In The Game? So, is that a crowd-pleasing move, or does the predictability lessen the episode’s emotional impact? But, as much as it can be, “Left Behind” is a shot-for-shot reenactment.

Recreating sequences from the game or dropping in references has proven to be a balancing act - one that HBO’s series has handled elegantly. HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us treats “Left Behind” as something of a bottle episode, but, unlike previous vignettes, this one is lifted directly from the game series. A refreshing tonal shift, Episode 7 centers on Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and the teen’s late best friend, Riley (Storm Reid), before Ellie meets Joel (Pedro Pascal). Titled “Left Behind,' this chapter of the often-despairing show trades melancholy and nihilism for unadulterated joy - for the most part. Viewers who relished in Episode 3’s poignant post-apocalyptic love story will find a similar beauty in Episode 7 of The Last Of Us.
