“These People Must Be on the Coasts” – The Last of Us Star Nick Offerman Shares His Thoughts on Audience Reaction to the ‘Teary’ Episode 3

The Last of Us is the most celebrated title in the gaming community. So when the news broke out that this 2013-based video game would be adapted into a TV series, it made the fans nervous. After all, most game adaptations failed to impress the audience. But The Last of Us adaptation has been a major hit.

Only three episodes have been released so far, and it has already made a great impression on the fans, even the die-hard ones. The show is taking everyone on a ride of emotions. However, the latest episode which was released on January 29 was an absolute tear-jerker.

The latest episode showed Joel and Ellie continuing their adventure after Tess’ sacrifice in the previous episode. But the hot topic of this episode was the introduction of Bill, who was portrayed by the American actor Nick Offerman. Further, the actor recently shared his thoughts on the audience’s reaction to Episode 3.

Offerman recently appeared on “The Jimmy Fallon Show,” where he was shown some tearful reactions from the fans. They thought it was a “zombie” show and had no idea it would have such an emotional episode. Seeing their reaction, Offerman commented, “That’s like the opposite of Midwestern, where you repress your emotions and don’t show them to anyone. These people must be on the coasts.”

The latest episode revolved more around Bill and his partner Frank, played by American actor Murray Bartlett. Bill is a supporting character in the game who helps Joe and Ellie get a car. But there were some changes in the series, which we never got to see in the game. This series finally showed us the relationship between Bill and Frank.

Further, the most emotional scene of this episode is completely different from how things unfolded in the game. In the series, when Joel and Ellie reached Bill’s place, he was already dead. He left behind a letter for Joel, which revealed he committed suicide with Frank and left behind his equipments for Joel.

It was a significant change that the creators introduced for the series, but it definitely did its work and got the audience more hooked on the show. What was your reaction to watching the third episode of The Last of Us?
