That’s right, one of the episodes of “The Last of Us” was a clear sign of the normalization of menstruation on television and in the cinema, and even if for some it was nothing, we are left with the example of openness to important current events. The sixth episode of the series marked an important moment for its story and for the audience through this scene.
It is not the first time that a subject addressed by the series of HBO Max It gives something to talk about, but undoubtedly in the sixth episode it made the difference. In it, Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) arrive in the calm of the city where Tommy (Gabriel Luna) and his wife María (True Blood’s Rutina Wesley) live; the couple welcomes them in the best possible way, offering them hospitality and some personal toiletries, including a menstrual cup.
