HBO’s hit video-game adaptation series The Last of Us took an unexpected detour into gay territory in its most recent episode, focusing on a budding romance between the characters played by actors Nick Offerman and Murry Bartlett. In a recent interview, the episode director said viewers sometimes need to be tricked into watching a gay love story.

Director Peter Hoar, who is openly gay, spoke to the science-focused site Inverse about making the show.
