New episodes of season 2 of The Last of Us are premiering on HBO every Sunday night .

Ars' Kyle Orland and Andrew Cunningham will be talking about them here every Monday morning .

The opening episode of the second season drew me in more than I expected.

The debut episode is already showing a willingness to move around scenes from the game to fit better in chronological order.

" All Growed Up" Ellie's shunning of Joel is coming from her sense that something is amiss.

"I'm hopeful the show might be able to smooth out some of the rough storytelling edges and give a more compelling version of the character," she says.
