Fans of the Naughty Dog video game series knew that this bomb would happen, but under the direction of Mark Mylod, a man who directed the episodes of “Game of Thrones” and “Succession” (among other shows on the Premium network), it was particularly Brutal to watch the events of this episode. Not only have we seen a massive aggression of a real army of infected cordyce zombies, violent and hungry on the human colony protected in Jackson, Wyoming, but it is the episode where Joel Miller, the ostensible hero of history played by Pedro Pascal, is brutally murdered by Abby, a new character of the season played by Kaitlyn Dever.
There is no doubt that it is the most overwhelming episode of “The Last of Us” to date (which says something; the series is not really fun and windy). So what is the meaning of Mylod who directs this particular episode? I called the director and producer of Grim Reaper of HBO, but he was not always A warning sign of death on the various shows of the network. He started with “entourage” – which, you know, is not his fault! We all make mistakes and even work on shitty jobs. Finally, he went to “Game of Thrones”, where he tended to direct episodes that set up rhythms of major characters rather than those with great battles.

Mark Mylod cut his teeth as a television director on Game of Thrones
Beyond “entourage”, “The Affair” and the British and American versions of “Shameless”, Mark Mylod has become important as a director who could manage large episodes of television dramas thanks to “Game of Thrones”. Mylod began to lead David Benioff and the massively popular series of DB Weiss in 2015 during the fifth season of the show, leading the episodes “High Sparrow” and “Sons of the Harpy”, which presents the high Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce) and its religious acolytes and, in the case of the last episode, which is a key and death (Ian MCELNEY’s Scre Barristan, who is a key figure in death (Ian Mcelhin’s’s, Scre Barristan, who is a key death figure (Ian Mcelhin’s Scre Barristan Episode, who is the key character in death and Ian Mcelhiny killed by a violent group known as, well, the sons of the Harpie). Mylod came back for season 6 Broken Man “, who reveals that Sandor Clegane of Rory McCann is still alive, and the following episode” Person “, where Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) leaves Braavos and his faceless assassin lessons. Finally, in the penultimate season of the show, Mylod made the second and third episodes,” Stormborn “and” The Queen’s justice ” (Kit Harington) To meet a potential Westeros queen, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), by triggering a situation of enemies with buyers and building one of the biggest floors of the show.

The reason why I review Mylod’s “Game of Thrones” credits as I am an imdb page on foot, it is illustrating that no one Mylod episodes in the series are particularly enormous payments. In fact, many of them are simply payments that set the pieces in place For Huge episodes that follow. In this spirit, you might think that Mylod would not be the obvious choice for the second episode of season 2 of “The Last of Us”, which is one of the most important outings of the whole show so far. This is where Mylod’s work on “succession” comes into play, however. After making his mark on “Game of Thrones”, Mylod went to another HBO prestige drama … and proved that he was the perfect person to direct extremely important episodes.
