The Last of Us |
Avengers assemble! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, January 29!
Our Top Pick tonight is the post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us (HBO, 9 p.m.). 2 decades after a fungi mutation allows for a type to survive in humans, causing its host to transform to a hostile, zombie-like state, Joel (Pedro Pascal) must take 14-year-old Ellie (Bella Ramsey), who might possess a cure, across the infested remains of the United States. So far, I think it's really, really good, balancing various tones and story arcs quite well.
Elsewhere, a cow is in crisis, Fire incinerates Sunday, Kingstown still has a mayor, Miss Scarlet detects police corruption, The Way Home revisits a first kiss, and 2 now-Oscar nominees chat with Graham.
Cancellation League (3 p.m.-ish): Scooby-Doo, Where Are Points! Garfield and Points. Saved by the Points. Points of the Superfriends. H.R. Pufnpoints. Heckle and Jeckle with Points.
