Every apocalyptic show demonstrates how survivors have managed to make it through dire circumstances. In The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) survived a coma thanks to (or in spite of) his best friend Shane (Jon Bernthal) blockading his room, so the walkers couldn’t get to him. In The Last of Us, Joel’s (Pedro Pascal) unintentional wheat- and carb-free diet saved his life. But the mailman in Paradise Season 2, Episode 5 (fittingly titled “The Mailman”) is one of the most interesting and clever survival stories I’ve seen yet.
