The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 4 review: Here's what people are saying
Episode 4 of The Last of Us Season 2, titled "Secrets," has dropped — and reactions are pouring in. While many critics are calling it the strongest episode of the season so far, fan opinions remain divided.
#Pahalgam Terrorist Attack
Inside Operation Tupac: Pakistan's secret project to burn Kashmir
Who is Asim Munir, the Zia-style general shaping Pakistan's faith-driven military revival
'Looking for partners, not preachers': India's strong message for EU amid LoC tensions
Critics Praise the Balance of Horror and Emotion
The episode introduces WLF leader Isaac, played by Jeffrey Wright, who reprises his role from The Last of Us Part II game. His powerful performance adds intensity to the episode, beginning with a brutal opening that depicts Isaac's defection from FEDRA to the WLF. Wright's cold and commanding presence sets a chilling tone that lingers.
'Unlike last week, all the charming chitchat is balanced with harrowing action,' wrote The New York Times.

CBR noted, 'The episode isn't bad by any means; on its own, it balances the repulsive war crimes of the WLF and a beautiful queer love story without appearing tonally asymmetrical. But Season 2 also only consists of seven episodes.'
Collider added, 'While this episode shows the light and beauty that can still exist in this world... it also confirms just how immensely dark this world can be, as the horrifying, bloody fight between the Seraphites and the WLF takes shape.'
Live Events
Social Media Reacts: Mixed to Negative
While critics are generally positive, reactions on X (formerly Twitter) are far more critical:
'The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 4 without context,' wrote one user, attaching a series of confused and meme-worthy images.
Another bluntly said, 'It's not even the casting anymore — Last of Us Season 2 is trash. I can't believe I actually made it to 4 episodes.'
'The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 4 was complete dog shit. Josh Peck was the best part,' said a third.
Yet another viewer wrote: 'Mixed bag. New Isaac material is great. Beating you over the head with Ellie's sexuality way more than the game ever does. Dad? Guitar scene was good but not better than the game. Immune reveal was a nice spin. Isabela KILLING IT.'

Without naming anyone, she wrote, 'We must do away with this 'U can't sit with us we r better' attitude for democracy n fair play! Love n light to all (sic).' What started it all? The entire row began after Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos appeared on Nikhil Kamath's podcast and spoke about launching Netflix in India. Reflecting on the decision, he said he would have done things differently. According to Ted, starting the platform in India with the series 'Sacred Games' may not have been the right move, and something 'more populist' might have worked better. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 오스템 임플란트 받아가세요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo Anurag Kashyap lashes out Anurag Kashyap, who directed and produced 'Sacred Games', did not take the comment lightly.

Olivia shares her kids with husband John Mulaney , with whom she has been married since almost a year, reports 'People' magazine. She told 'People', "I know kids love (Ms. Rachel), but the thing is, if I can't watch it, I'm not going to spend the rest of my life going crazy. These kid shows drive me crazy". Munn also isn't a big fan of cartoons. "Malcolm asked for Blue's Clues (recently), and I don't know who showed him Blue's Clues, but they are on my s*** list now", Munn said. "I said, 'Hell no. Not in my house'. John got him into the Spider-Man cartoons, which is not interesting to me. I put on Tom Holland's 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' and was like, 'If you want to watch the real-life ones, then we can watch that.' It might be a little too old for him, but I can't take the cartoons". As per 'People', Munn says the only exception is PBS' children's show 'Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood', which she describes as a "great program". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [단독] 서울 임플란트 '33만원' 에 가능해 플란치과 Undo Before Mei's arrival via surrogate last September, Munn and Mulaney, 42, let Malcolm watch the show to help him prepare to become a big brother.

When introducing Mei to Malcolm, Munn says she and Mulaney made sure not to "change his world and identity and responsibilities". "A lot of times people will be like, 'Oh, you're a big brother now. You're not the baby anymore. Now you can help mommy get the diapers'. So, all of a sudden, he has all these responsibilities, and he doesn't just get to be carefree anymore", Munn said. "Instead, we would say, 'Now we have two babies. There's baby Mei Mei and baby Malcolm'". Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
