Wanna know what happens when a city turns into a warzone and humanity’s darkest sides come out to play? The Last of Us Season 2 Episode 4, aptly nicknamed “Secrets,” delivers a masterclass in blending gut-wrenching horror with tender, heart-hitting moments. Spoiler alert: if you’re planning to watch this episode, you might want to hide your snacks because things get seriously messy.
Seattle’s chaotic spirit is showcased right from the start.

It’s like watching a scene straight out of a horror-comedy, except the stakes are as real as they come.

From Capitol Hill draped in corpses and overgrown tanks to rusted remnants of a bygone era, every corner screams conflict and despair.
