Then the TV show came out and now I can't bring myself to look at it ever again.

I tell people the TV show is what you'd get if you handed the books to the CW's teen soap/drama writers. Yes, it's that bad.

My Darwin, the teeth in that show. All of them have PERFECT Hollywood teeth, shining brightly like magical lanterns.

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. I watch a lot of German and Scandinavian TV because they use actors that look like real people rather than Hollywood Barbie dolls.

It’s often an indicator of poor films/shows for me. Look at Killers of the Flower Moon - it’s not like the actors don’t all have amazing looking teeth, but the film has gone through the trouble of making them all look normal via prosthetics.

Yet so much cheap tv/film doesn’t bother and it just immediately cancels my suspension of disbelief.
