Fans were left furious over the season two finale of The Last Of Us – with some labeling the episode as ‘garbage.’
The second season came to an end with a major cliffhanger over the character of Ellie (Bella Ramsey) and her fate following a shocking confrontation with Abby (Kaitlyn Dever).
The finale kicked off by following Ellie as well as Jesse (Young Mazino) and Dina (Isabela Merced) on their third day in Seattle – as Ellie continued her hunt for Abby to avenge Joel’s (Pedro Pascal) death that occurred in episode two.
The seventh episode – which is titled Convergence – built up to an explosive few minutes, leaving more than one character dead and questions left unanswered.
However, viewers were less than thrilled with the finale, with some slamming its pacing and others simply calling it ‘trash.’

Social media users flocked to X not long after the episode was dropped on HBO Max, with one penning, ‘It’s like HBO said “how can we make the worst season finale possible??” and then they went out and did it. The Last Of Us is trash.’
Another wrote, ‘Well after that finale I can surely say the last of us season 2 WAS GARBAGE.’
‘The Last Of Us Season 2 finale. Not sure how to feel about it. Everything happened too fast. Biggest problem with the season was pacing, so nothing had a chance to breathe & this version of the story suffered for it,’ a fan shared.
A viewer commented, ‘I finished watching The Last Of Us season 2 n Jesus Christ this is the most lackluster disappointing season I’ve ever seen.
‘Ellie is now becoming an unlikeable character to me. It sucks seeing Joel died in episode 2. The finale felt rushed at the end,’ they added.
One wrote, ‘the last of us season 2 finale left me feeling like a ghost in my own body. just… hollow. completely, irreparably empty.’
Another typed, ‘the choices made in the last of us finale… y’all can keep the next season i don’t want it.’
‘That season finale of The Last Of Us was definitely NOT absolute cinema. Felt more like a bridge episode than it did a finale,’ an X user added.

Another shared, ‘I for one am glad that there will be 2 years in between tonight’s season finale and season 3 of The Last Of Us, I will need about that long in therapy after tonight.’

The finale episode began with Jesse helping Dina with an injury to her leg – with Ellie returning to their hiding spot in Seattle after questioning Nora about Abby’s whereabouts.
Ellie finds Dina – who is pregnant – resting inside a dressing room at the theater they are staying at as she recovers from the leg injury.

The pair then have a conversation about how Nora gave a hint about where Abby is by giving two words: Whale and Wheel.
Ellie admitted that it had been ‘easy’ to hurt Nora to gain the information, but told Dina that she did not kill her.
She then reveals to Dina that Joel had killed everyone in the hospital that she had been held at before going to Jackson – and said one of the doctors had been Abby’s father.
Dina is overcome with emotion upon the revelation, and the next scene cuts to both Ellie and Jesse packing up before venturing outside in war zone Seattle.
While Dina stays behind, Ellie and Jesse leave to go find Tommy (Gabriel Luna) – and Jesse tells Ellie that he knows Dina is pregnant with their child.
The two end up taking shelter inside a run down parking garage but quickly hide and witness soldiers capturing a Seraphite.
Ellie is left angry that Jesse prevented her from stepping in to help the young man, but Jesse tells her that he needs to stay alive.
When the pair take refuge inside a library where Tommy was supposed to be, they hear gunshots and go to the rooftop. Ellie sees a Ferris wheel and understands that is what Nora told her in order to locate Abby.
She then reveals to Dina that Joel had killed everyone in the hospital that she had been held at before going to Jackson – and said one of the doctors had been Abby’s father
Ellie goes off towards the Ferris wheel on her own to track down Abby – which is located on a wooden pier next to the ocean.
Jeffrey Wright – who plays a leader of the WLF named Isaac – arrives to the pier to grab what appears to be supplies with others before heading off.
Ellie gets a boat to follow them, hoping to also find Abby, and ends up on an island as the storm worsens.
