The last episode of the relay then runs on the corresponding platforms on May 26th. According to the current status, the second season is a great success. 5.3 million viewers on all channels were counted - that is about ten percent more than in the first season. Here "only" interested parties looked into the first episode.

The second season strikes even more strongly

HowDeadlinereports, the number of spectators for the first season last week has exploded. The figures have increased by 150 percent here. Why? Well, probably because many fans wanted to take a look at the entire first season or at least the last episodes. A refreshment just before the second season appears, just.

And it doesn't stop, because even the trailers are extremely popular and clicked a lot. The official trailer for The Last of Us Season 2 is the mostly viewed video on the entire YouTube channel from Max and has been able to record 33 million views so far. There is not even the trailer for the Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: ​​return to Hogwarts with its 30 million - or the trailer to House of the Dragon with 27 million.

The spark still has to skip

Alex has already looked at the first episode of The Last of Us Staffel 2 and has its impressions inProcessed, which was released on our site late in the evening. In the following it comes toSpoil, so have been warned.

In the first episode, he already sees problems that existed in the first season: "In fact, I had the feeling several times that the creators were shining back before the game was flawed back. After the premiere of the second season, the same feeling is already having the same feeling."

He also criticizes some decisions in terms of narrative order. "Who the hell had the idea of ​​humanizing Abby at the very beginning?" He writes. "I am very curious to see if the series can make any capital from it to introduce us to Abby's true motivation so early."

Otherwise there is a thumbs up. "That was okay" and "there was also a lot of good things in the first episode" sounds a bit skeptical, but the second season has six more episodes that can change our experienced film and serial critic a little.
