Great to watch and enjoy the drama and suspense as it unfolds; probably never revisit it again after the story is over.

Nope. Scratch that, stupid.
I'm already watching The Last of Us now for a second time with my wife; it's her first time watching because she prefers to binge series like these over a few days instead of a few months.
In the first few episodes, there are already
several reactions or lines of dialogs or very subtle foreshadowing hints that I didn't pick up on the first viewing. Having the full story in my recent memory including certain characters' backstories gives a lot more weight to a few looks and reactions and comments by certain individuals. Also, some of the heart-wrenching story beats are still nearly as intense upon second viewing. I'm looking at you, episode 3.
So, I'll revise my earlier assessment to suggest that The Last of Us probably doesn't have much replay value beyond
a second viewing.
