Most of the characters in Severance are not pretty, and it was very original IMO.

There's this concept called Hollywood ugly. Even people who are not pretty or considered to play ugly characters on film are still above average in terms of looks compared to the whole of the population. Most actors in Severance while might not be considered movie star out of everyone's league gorgeous, are still pretty and attractive people. It's much more about how they are presented in camera that makes them seem more everyday like.

Yeah I guess John Turturro is a good example of Hollywood ugly :)

Severance is excellent and exceptional. It’s also AppleTV+, where it’s more likely than not you’ll see actors that resemble people in real life (and when it’s not, it’s Ghosted and shit). And they generally don’t do remakes.

If anything, they’re the exception and not the rule.
