The Last of Us is already the best series of the year
Hands up, how many of us cried watching yesterday's episode of The Last of Us? Despite branching away from the main story of Ellie
and Joel's odyssey across an apocalyptic America, the series managed to deliver one of the best television episodes, well, ever.
No spoilers here, but let's just say Murray Bartlett and Nick Offerman's performances as a couple destined for tragedy deserves
all the attention (and an Emmy).
If you're still yet to watch the series, or if you haven't got a Sky or Now account, the first episode of The Last of Us is
available to watch for free on YouTube. But be warned: you won't be able to resist watching the rest of the show.

Pick of the day: Emily Atack: Asking for It?, 9pm, BBC Two
Chosen by Gerard Gilbert
“Every morning I wake up and see a man’s penis I haven’t asked to see,” says actor and comedian Emily Atack in this documentary
about cyber flashing (as in unsolicited pictures of genitalia). She is not alone, of course, girls as young as 12 being subjected
to online sexual harassment.
Continuing the debate that took her to Parliament in February 2022 to try to make cyber flashing illegal, Atack wonders whether
education and not legislation is key – although one man’s reply (“because we can”) is hardly encouraging on that score. She also
discusses the problem with her parents, her therapist, fellow campaigners and, finally, reports her abuse to the police. Click
