As I didn't have U-NEXT membership, I couldn't watch "The Last of Us" yet. I was waiting for the all episodes to come, but I finally watched the 1st episode. Pedro Pascal is actually my favorite actor. Great casting! I was about to watch E2 when I found "Yellowjackets"! pic.twitter.com/Jbur9SfDsg— HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) February 8, 2023
