After the gloomy prologue of the first episode, the theme song begins The Last of Us written and performed by the Argentine composer Gustavo Santaolalla. For fans of the video game it was – probably – pure emotion, given that the song is the main theme even video games. In fact, the introduction is a clear reference to the mushroom Cordyceps and how it branches out with its filaments and expands. All this creates a sort of network where all the elements are interconnected. The acronym closes with two filaments that are created in the center of the scene with shapes that clearly recall the two protagonists, Joel e Ellie.
