I am also excited to see how the show will explore Dina and Ellie's relationship, which is one of the most compelling and heartwarming aspects of the game.
I think the casting of Isabela Merced as Dina is a great choice. She is a talented actress who has the range to play a character like Dina. Dina is a complex character who is both strong and vulnerable, and I think Merced will be able to capture all of her nuances. I'm also excited to see how the show will explore Dina's relationship with Ellie. Their relationship is one of the most important in the game, and I think it will be interesting to see how it's portrayed on screen.
