The Best Sci-Fi Show of 2025 Flips The Last of Us’ Story on Its Head (& It’s Better for It)

Now, the top sci-fi show of 2025 is drawing inspiration from the popular HBO adaptation, tackling similar themes. However, it’s not a direct copy; the show cleverly subverts one key element of The Last of Us‘s narrative.
