Yet amid the horror – sometimes so understated that it hits your gut even harder when the realisation sinks in – there are also moments of palpable tenderness and compassion that help us appreciate this unlikely duo's journey that much more. Well-positioned flashbacks, some concise and others stretching almost a full episode, effectively flesh out Joel and Ellie's respective histories with a strong bearing on their present.
