The newest episode of The Last of Us was seen by millions and is getting rave reviews, but fans aren’t enjoying everything about “Long Long Time.” The episode opens with a shot showing “10 Miles West Of Boston” but people from the area quickly noticed that the geography is totally wrong.
As you can see in the image below, the new episode showed a beautiful nature scene featuring a canyon and big mountains in the distance. In reality, nothing like that is within 10 miles of Boston.
A source told Boston.com that HBO did use drone footage to capture real footage of the Boston area for use in The Last of Us. But the majority of the show’s production took place in Alberta, Canada, and that could be where this specific shot of the definitely-not-Boston wilderness stems from.
