As many people had anticipated, the show The Last Of Us seems to be facing difficulties after Pedro Pascal’s departure in Episode 2 of the second season, along with a contentious plotline.
Following the drop from episode two to three, the drop is even greater with episode four.
According to the latest ratings from Nielsen, episode 4’s release week saw a persistent decline in viewership numbers.
The viewing figures align with the official data published by HBO, indicating a decrease exceeding 50% in viewers from the first season compared to subsequent seasons.
What are the ratings?
According to recently published streaming figures by Nielsen, the data was shared after the premiere on May 4 of Episode 4 titled “Day One.
The viewing time for “The Last of Us” decreased from 937 million minutes to 827 million during episodes two to three, and subsequently fell to a mere 738 million minutes in episode four, causing it to slip down to the seventh spot in the overall rankings.
What happened? Fans aren’t happy
Pedro Pascal exit
Fans are clearly upset because the show mirrored the video game and ended Pedro Pascal’s character, Joel. Similarly, the video game faced criticism as well.
The storyline
In the narrative, the latest character in our series, named Dina, portrayed by Isabela Merced, discovers she’s expecting. Interestingly, Bella Ramsey’s character, Ellie, expresses that she will take on the role of the father figure.
Ramsey, too, has faced considerable debate because of her political views and has gained popularity on the internet as a meme subject.
The show additionally explores the character of Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever, and it includes several episodes and motifs centered around LGBTQ+ issues and perspectives.
Fans are tuning out.
