  • how easily the corporate marketing apparatuses think they can shove it down the public’s throat.

    Let’s also remark: USian public. Outside the States the reliance in stereotypes and too-pretty or too-token-minority is so obvious that it detracts from enjoyment.

    Argentinian here. Lately I mostly consume British TV. It’s immeasurably better. People act and look as real people.

    That’s also why I find USian remakes disgusting. They lose all distinctiveness. A blatant case was the police drama Broadchurch (UK original) vs Gracepoint (US remake). The only common cast member was David Tennant. The UK characters feel as real people. The US characters were obviously actors. Olivia Coleman was believable as a police officer in a small fishing town. Anna Gunn… wasn’t.
