The third episode of HBO’s “The Last of Us,” titled “Long, Long Time,” earned universal acclaim for breaking with the main narrative to tell the emotional love story between Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank (Murray Bartlett). Critics and viewers have praised the installment as one of the best episodes of television ever made, save for one moment that has become the talk of social media. One establishing shot that is meant to depict “10 miles west of Boston” is very clearly not set 10 miles west of Boston as it features a mountainous backdrop that recalls America’s northwest.

Screenshots of the “10 miles west of Boston” scene in “The Last of Us” have gone viral across social media, with none other than Stephen King calling out the show for the gaffe. King is a New England native having been born and raised in Maine.
