Deliberately ugly? More like deliberately normal, which is just fantastic, honestly.
I may not be able to prove that God is real, but you cannot prove that God is imaginary.
@hubble-hallow: I think they look like regular people, which is infinitely more realistic. Not everybody can be Hollywood-brand fake perfect OR as shallow as you must be.
I happen to think the mom (Deirdre O'Kane) and Clare Monnelly as Fidelma are both really attractive. Not to mention the accents. I can fall in love with an accent.
AND by the way, Sarah White, as Sinead, is only a kid, you dirty old man!
Clare Monnelly as Fidelma
She is gorgeous both in the show and in real life. I was so happy to find out she was in her mid to late 20's when they filmed. Made me feel slightly less creepy. share
I don't find the boy all that cute either.
sharewhy do a bunch of teenagers need to be attractive to you?
sharehaha that's a good question. I don't need actors to look good, I need them to be good actors. Further, when characters are too good looking (like on all US shows) it detracts from the story.
That's what makes this show so good. They focus on the characters and story.
It detracts from the story and can be an overall distraction. Any ensemble cast, where the actors are all young, invariably they're ALL going to be above-average in attractiveness. A person doesn't have to be a "10" for me to like them, or even like the looks of them. Variety. Variety is the spice of life.
