HBO's The Last of Us adaptation quite rightly received near-universal acclaim from critics and fans alike, delivering surely the greatest adaptation of any video game ever.

Yet there was nevertheless some criticism for one creative decision in particular - the diminished role of the Clickers and infected creatures in general, enough that they felt decidedly less of a threat than they did in the games.

It seems that Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann were opting for a less-is-more approach with regard to the series' action and suspense sequences, in favour of focusing on developing their characters.

However, they arguably got the balance a little off, with many fans craving more presence for the series' iconic monsters.

Mazin did however confirm in a recent interview with Variety that season two will feature "a lot more Infected," which the show can hopefully do while still maintaining its rich investment in its characters.
