Pedro Pascal (as Joel) is one of the protagonists of The Last of Us, which is HBO Max’s most recent and ambitious bet in the audiovisual world. This production also stars Bella Ramsey (as Ellie).
After the premiere of the first episode, critics on sites like Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb already favor the series in a great way, since it has an average rating of 99% and 9.6, respectively.
