9 Problems With The Walking Dead Nobody Wants To Admit

8. Everyone Still Looks Pretty Good

In terms of the aesthetics of The Walking Dead, making the zombies look good is one thing. Having all the survivors still looking pretty peachy keen after supposedly living without being able to wash, shave or style themselves for an extended period of time (coupled with all the blood, guts, sweat, mud and tears they've been smeared with over the seven seasons so far) is stretching credulity a bit. Even for a show where that plummy Brit out of teachers is playing a hard-bitten Texan cop.

Rick Grimes has shown signs of wear and tear as the show's gone on, his close-cropped haircut slowly morphing into a straight-up mullet and his face fuzz often venturing into festive Santa Claus territory. His son Carl has grown upwards, but his skin remains surprisingly pimple-free considering Clearasil is low on the list of priorities when they go raiding pharmacies for supplies. Everyone else, meanwhile, retains a Hollywood level of style and glamour.

It's here that the artifice of the show falls away, because actors (rightfully, since they mostly trade on their looks) are resistant to being too uglied up. Mostly everyone's hair doesn't look nearly as greasy as it should be, their teeth remain spotless white diamonds, Glenn doesn't suffer from hat hair nearly as much as he should, and seriously how does Maggie even look like that.
