Gabriel Luna Joins Pedro Pascal as Tommy in The Last of Us

Gabriel Luna as Ghost Rider

Adapting a video game into a series isn't something that we've seen done too frequently, at least not on a platform like HBO, so I'm interested to see just how much they change from the game to the series, but that being said, getting to see Pascal as Joel with Luna as Tommy is going to delight me to no end.

With the passing of Prince Philip, there has been discussion about his family's connection to the Nazis during World War II. I decided I wanted to look deeper into it and, in doing so, found an interesting familial history.

Not Just Made For Love: TV Has Proved Female Trauma Doesn’t Exist in a Vacuum

Cristin Milioti as Hazel in HBO Max's Made for Love.

Beyond the series’ sci-fi core, Hazel’s burden speaks to other women that lockdown has trapped with emotionally, physically, and/or sexually abusive partners in their own homes. But the HBO Max show also attempts to tell Hazel’s complicated story in a form that doesn’t exclusively revolve around her ordeal—because, as we learned from other excellent TV precedents like Michaela Coel’s I May Destroy You, trauma doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
