How to watch 'The Last of Us' premiere for free?
You can now view the first episode of 'The Last of Us' without having a subscription to HBO Max. Following the show's quick and enormous success after streaming its first two episodes, the streaming service has made the first episode of the show available to watch for free. The episode can be streamed online at HBO Max and has also been made available to watch by Sky TV on YouTube for those in the UK.
The fact that only the first episode is available for free viewing is obviously a drawback. There have already been two episodes, however in order to watch Episode 2, you would need to be a subscriber. However, viewing the pilot will offer potential viewers the chance to decide whether the show will resonate with them in the same way that it did with so many others before giving their money to subscribe to HBO Max.
What happened in Episodes 1 and 2?
The first two episodes of 'The Last of Us' have revealed high stakes, and both have seen the death of a major character, with Joel's (Pedro Pascal) young daughter, Sarah, dying right away in Episode 1. Tess (Anna Torv) was infected in 'The Last of Us' Episode 2 and died after selflessly sacrificing herself, giving Joel and Ellie a chance to flee a swarm of infected. Ellie, played by Bella Ramsey, is now the most useful tool in the world of 'The Last of Us' because it's believed that she is immune to both the infected and the Clickers. Despite being attacked by both in the first two episodes, she exhibits no symptoms of infection.
How Ellie may play in contributing to averting the ongoing pandemic is the key topic 'The Last of Us' attempts to solve. Ellie and Joel will need to be cautious about who they trust with her secret since the government and scientists will want to examine her to determine what makes Ellie immune to the sickness. Her incredible immunity could be able to save the globe, but it might also make things worse if some evildoers discovered it first and utilized the possibility of a treatment or vaccine to wage further war on the planet only for their own gain.
New episodes of 'The Last of Us' release every Sunday on HBO.
