"When you're lost in the darkness, look for the light."

You know what else is known for being lifeless?

HBO's latest post-apocalyptic drama, however, is anything but that. On top of…

That such a beautiful, unique, and unexpected episode of television was sandwiched in the middle of this PlayStation video game adaptation…
