The unattractive women are off-putting. I don't wanna hear about realism of how people in a place like this would look. It's fiction. I wanna look at beautiful people on screen. The boxer covered in tats and looking like a pincushion is distracting.

DEI has committed the sin of trying to convince the public unattractive people should be on the cover of glamour or Swimsuit magazines.

Hollywood has followed suit.

Movies are escapism. It's amazing how things have changed... From a Grace Kelly beauty threshold that they knew most saw as unattainable and therefore enticing to watch, to women you'd see at Wallmart in their jammies. It's basic human psychology... People like to watch the pretty people.

Partially agree. More attractive people garner more attention and since they are easier on the eyes they naturally given more leeway for their acting ability.
Flip side it's nice to see authentic representation of an area/people, but when they are unattractive then they better be damn good actors and/or story & writing has to be better.

Plenty of ugly people are good actors/actresses & even singers. Chris Farley, Forrest Whitaker, Zack Galafankis, Jack Black, Paul Giamatti, Danny Devito, Steve Buscemi, John C Reilly.....Tilda Swinton, Kathy Bates, CCH Pounder, Jane Lynch, Sandra Oh, Roseanne
Look at Willie Nelson, man is ugly and not the greatest vocalist, but he tells a great story in his songs. Mick Jagger, Amy Winehouse, & Seal are a couple others.

Don’t care what they look like the show just sucks. S1 and even S2 showed how these investigations effect and sometimes destroy these detectives lives no matter what type of person they were plus the murders themselves were very interesting. This season it’s all about these strong women, their personal BS and in the background there’s a murder investigation which is really just an avenue to show how virtuous Navarro is and how tough and smart Danvers is. All they have to do is figure out a way to combine their masculine and virtuous female super powers then not even supernatural forces, men or evil energy production will be able to stop them.
