The Last Of Us goes deep narratively and even deeper in its lavish world-building. The show’s savage vision of a post-apocalyptic America is so completely convincing that when Ellie (Bella Ramsey) strums a few bars of a-ha‘s ’80s megahit ‘Take On Me’, it’s a haunting reminder of the “normal life” that these characters barely remember. This poignant scene is borrowed from The Last Of Us Part 2, the hugely successful 2020 video game upon which the show’s second season is largely based.

Sugababes at The O2 last night - 23 years after I saw them live for the first time, at G-A-Y at The Astoria. There’s something so magical about seeing a group you’ve been a fan of since your teenage years. https://t.co/3m86CLPXdF
