    Male gaze dominates. Women are required to be attractive. Men aren’t, unless they’re the main character.

      It’s something you see a lot on American TV. Everyone is SO beautiful all the time (well, most of it).

      You get much wonkier looking people on international shows.

        This always amuses me watching true crime documentaries.

        The criminal’s mugshot comes up and they look like absolute shit, and then the guy playing their part in the reenactment is a total looker.

        I guess NOT being pretty is a very difficult and unconventional start to a successful career in acting.
