The Walking Dead and its various spinoffs have basically given up on realism.
and its litany of spinoffs that bother me, but one thing that irks me like no other is the fact that so many of the characters on these shows look so clean and put-together.
Berg was unsatisfied. “‘More! More!’” Berger recalled him saying. “‘Come on, man. Cover him in dirt, like he hasn’t bathed in a year.’”Berg himself noted the importance of realism in creating a powerful story. “It’s important that we represent the world as it truly was — good, bad, indifferent, ugly,” he said. “Once you cheat that, it doesn’t land the same.”
P.S. I should note that not everyone in The Walking Dead needs to be filthy all the time. They don't need to look like bums. But costumes should look worn, lived-in, like they've seen some action, not like they're straight out of a department store. It's these details that make a fictional world feel real.I wanted to expand on this post a little bit because I often get pushback from fans of various shows—chief among them—when I argue that realism and plausibility matter.
Verisimilitude helps the audience accept these elements by creating an internal logic that feels consistent and believable within the story's world. In a zombie apocalypse, if the outbreak has realistic societal consequences, like shortages of resources or political collapse—or dirty fingernails and worn-out clothes—it makes the concept of a zombie apocalypse more credible.
