THE LAST DAY
A love that spans decades: Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank (Murray Bartlett).
Freedom fighter Kathleen (Melanie Lynskey).
With its abundance of cannibals, torture and gnashing, eyeless revenants with blooms of fungus sprouting from their faces, it’s almost absurd that the image most associated with The Last Of Us turned out to be a strawberry. The full-hearted moan of ecstasy as Bill (Nick Offerman) takes a bite of Frank’s (Murray Bartlett) post-apocalyptic fruit became a standout moment from a near-perfect hour of television — one that swiftly went viral, talked about with the same awe and reverence as banner episodes of The Sopranos or The Wire. If people hadn’t heard of The Last Of Us before Episode 3, they could hardly avoid it thereafter.
