I really hope she gets more roles after this. She needs her own show again. Anna Torv is criminally underrated

If you want more of Anna Torv you most definitely need to watch The Newsreader! She absolutely killed that show! I watched I after episode 2 to console my grieving heart.

[@widepeepocat6940]

even tho she was only in 2 episodes you cant deny her acting is spot on you can really feel her urgency.

[@mattcollins3591]

She’s will be in 5 episodes total.

[@RenfromBespin]

@@mattcollins3591 must be in some flashbacks scenes

[@maybachyard]

You should watch her in the series called Fringe. It's a sci-fi show similar to the X-FILES, and she is great in it! I think is also on HBO MAX atm too.

[@lavishlyvice]

@@RenfromBespin There are apparently flashbacks for Joel (in the 3rd episode) but I don't know if Tess will be included in them. 5 Episodes sounds made up though lol

[@GyutaroUpper6]

@@RenfromBespin Yea maybe we will know how Joel meet Tess

[@stevenkaye1625]

Anna Torv is fantastic. From Fringe, to Mindhunter, and this. She kills it.

[@brandothecatmeow]

I'm so freaking happy to see her back on TV, even if it is briefly. She's brilliant in everything she does.

[@bubthegreat1]

Where has she been? What's she been doing? We're watching Fringe now and we love her!

[@jrc16176]

Her deep voice + accent does things to me

[@GregJ22]

She kinda reminds me of Cate Blanchett, whose also an Aussie. Sus!

[@astrellax11]

Exactly I love her voice

[@wickedplanet7431]

She is totally hot

[@SparkzMxzXZ]

The last few moments when the infected were approaching tess slowly but surely.. the fear and terror in her eyes, yet the refusal to back down even in the face of sheer, unimaginable horror.. a brilliant, understated performance

[@nougan_gamer]

Indeed. Also imagine the cordyceps is starting to impact her mind/nervous systems at that moment too, Anna's sort of frozen look yet her right hand continue to frantically try to lit the lighter is not just a show of fear, but also a last ditch battle with the cordyceps in her body to maintain her humanity, in order to do the 1 last thing she is determined to do - blow up the monstrosity around (and inside) her, and to give Ellie/Joe a chance, to give humanity a chance.

[@agustinsusinna2275]

In a parallel univerese Anna is the super star she deserves to be

[@maybachyard]

In a parallel universe she has red hair and Joel is the one to die. Also Walter Bishop is in his lab at Harvard University working a cure.

[@earthgrazer5511]

Well, she is the superstar of News at Six hahaha, if you know what I mean. (The Newsreader)

[@HeKnowsNotForever]

@@maybachyard Excellent!

[@nougan_gamer]

Love Anna Torv since Fringe, she's so fantastically talented. I was so excited when I learned Anna will be in The Last of Us adaptation. I watched some youtuber played through TLoU and totally love the story, the relationship of the characters, the acting (voice/mocap/3d rendering...) However, I wouldn't say Tess in the game made the strongest impression on me. And yet, given only 2 episodes, Anna's portrayal of Tess made me really care about her. In the original TLoU, the 1 scene which broke me was when Sarah dies. I cried again during Sarah's death scene in episode 1... but I totally didn't expect to also cry during Tess's death scene, especially the things she said to Joe to ensure he'll protect Ellie and take her to the Firefly researchers to find a cure... A testament to Anna's acting talent.

[@BooneLuleyo]

My girl from Fringe! What an actress. Happy for her success.

[@BudhagRizzo]

She nailed the character perfectly. My only regret is that they didn't give her a couple more episodes.

[@Smoove_J]

I know it. You can’t get attached to anyone in a show like this.

[@AkiraAoyama]

Anna Torv is an incredible actress. I discovered her in Fringe and watched almost all her work since and she never stop to impress me. I love the Last of Us and played since it was on PS3. I was excited for the show and when Miss Torv was announced for the show.. I didn't know I could be even more excited! I love how she portrayed Tessa and despite knowing how the game went, I couldn't stop crying in the game well.. Let's say it, The Last of Us show was able to make me cry even knowing what will happen in each scene 😅

[@earthgrazer5511]

If you want more outstanding performance from Anna Torv, do yourself a favor and watch The Newsreader. She absolutely deserves international acclaim in her performance there and the critics agree. She won best lead actress for her role there.

[@leeparsons1259]

She should have won for fringe too. At least she got Saturn awards she won

[@mjhaners]

I want more Anna Torv on my TV

[@abbygail6010]

Ana torv is a total smoke show and insanely talented… please be in the new mindhunter

[@Reconseal4050]

I still remember every time Agent Broyles (Lance Reddick) interacted with her as Agent Dunham! Good times on FRINGE!!

[@ArthurMgan]

I was oblivious to the fact that she’s Australian. She masks her accent so well.

[@theidealneal]

Right? I watched her in Fringe and now this and i'm like WTF??

[@mistressmozart]

I've just learn this myself. had no idea!

[@jatin368]

I didn't played the games, so i thought she was a main character and i was so rooting for her bond with Elle :(

[@nicolas.grisanti]

She was amazing as Tess! I'm a big fan since Fringe and Mindhunter.

[@lisamccoy6514]

Man I loved her in Fringe I was so happy to see her in TLOU and then she was magnificently gone with a bang literally 😢 I'd love to see her in another series. ❤️

[@DouglasRosser]

So much impact in just two episodes. Two episodes that are gonna make me go back and watch 100+ episodes of Fringe.

[@quietastronaut]

I've never watched a show with Anna Torv I didn't love. She has great taste in projects. Obviously Mindhunter and I'd advice everybody to see The Newsreader if they haven't already.

[@je4895]

She fucking killed it. Clearly a top actress!

[@hellpyro2385]

she also kissed it

[@O6i]

She was amazing. One of the best performances ive ever seen.

[@phil5171]

I've been in love with Anna for years. Deep, blissful, unrequited love. She should be a major star!!

[@treads2595]

I can't believe it's been ten years since Fringe ended. What a great show that was. Looking back, we are so lucky that Fox gave us 5 years of that show. They probably wanted to cancel it after the first year like they do everything else I love. It's a crime that John Noble never won an Emmy for his acting on that show.

[@leeparsons1259]

Anna torv should have won a Emmy as well even josh Jackson was very good threw the whole run never has gotten enough credit. Her and Jackson had outstanding chemistry just like the rest of the cast

[@meme2002bh]

She deserves her own show ❤

[@afkiallu6364]

In case anyone doesn't know by now, the HLN channel (Headline News) has been running marathons of Fringe every Saturday and Sunday 9am-midnight! Great way to spend weekends 😊
