The Last of Us Season 2 Ratings COLLAPSE | Fans Bail, Critics Clap, HBO Blames the Grill

The Last of Us Season 2 just pulled off the impossible—turning one of the most beloved video game franchises into a rapidly shrinking TV audience. Over HALF of viewers who tuned in for Season 1 have now left the building... and Joel’s not the only one who's dead.
