TV shows are sometimes criticized for lack of realism due to most of the cast being too good looking. What is a show that has mostly normal looking people?

    [off topic]

    I hate when they do a biopic and cast an actor who is much better looking than the actual person.

    Tonya Harding was plain at best and certainly nowhere near as gorgeous as Margot Robbie

      I remember when the Aileen Wuornos movie came out, my first thought was, “The kindest thing ever done for this woman was having her be portrayed by Peyton List.”

          I suspect the ugliness was contributory to her nastiness, so it really was wrong to cast a beauty in the role

          What happened to making it clear who was good and who was bad by good being pretty/handsome and bad being ugly?

            She could play a super model or the mom next door. And she was really funny.
