There have been many instances once I’ve sat down to look at a Sunday night time HBO lineup and thought “Rattling, I would like that character’s hair.” I’ve screenshotted Carrie Bradshaw’s highlights in And Simply Like That… and introduced them to my stylist. I concern and respect Kate’s means to serve bob on The White Lotus. However I by no means anticipated to covet the curtain bangs and artfully positioned waves on Dina, Isabela Merced’s character within the post-apocalyptic collection The Final of Us.
The present, primarily based on the online game franchise of the identical title, is nearing the top of its second season, which takes place 5 years after the occasions of its first, many years after a viral fungus turned a lot of humanity into deformed, zombie-like creatures. Although the present’s principal characters have joined a peaceable, secured settlement in Jackson, Wyoming, the Contaminated, as they’re recognized, nonetheless pose an enormous menace to the city and its folks, together with protagonist Ellie and love curiosity Dina, who go away this civilization for a cross-country journey (I received’t spoil why for individuals who by some means nonetheless don’t know), sharing a single horse and an entire lot of beef jerky.
Roaming just about in every single place that’s not Jackson, the Contaminated are starved for human flesh, and most of them are very quick. And if so-called “Runners” or “Clickers” don’t rip you limb from limb or flip you right into a zombie your self, a closely armed unbiased militia may shoot you on sight, otherwise you may end up kidnapped by a cannibalistic cult. Characters face numerous obstacles within the endlessly harmful and hopeless panorama of The Final of Us—however imperfect hair, weirdly, shouldn’t be one in every of them. Amid this hellscape, Dina appears to have by some means discovered a Dyson Airwrap and a miraculously functioning electrical socket as a result of her hair is good at nearly each second.
