Viewers of The Last of Us are praising the second episode for its opening set in Indonesia.
The HBO video game adaptation continued on Sunday (22 January), catching up with Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Tess (Anna Torv) as they transport the teenage Ellie (Bella Ramsay) on a dangerous mission across a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Each episode so far has featured a flashback, which takes place 20 years before the fall of civilisation that is triggered by the spreading of a brain-infecting fungus called Cordyceps.
Episode two opened in Jakarta, Indonesia, and saw an expert in the study of fungi learn of the outbreak. Chillingly, after discovering details of the outbreak, she tells an Indonesian military officer that there is no vaccine and her advice is to bomb the entire city.
Indonesian viewers are heaping praise on the show for casting Indonesian actors Christine Hakam and Yayu Aw Unru in these roles, as well...
