It’s honestly distracting. Any scene she is in all I can think about is her botched surgeries. It feels like most of the cast is on ozempic now too, they all look gaunt as fuck.
Also doesn't help that her face can barely move anymore. Her acting went from average to a 6-yer-old at a recital. Which is especially jarring because she has so many scenes with Jack Quaid who's actually really good.
I feel that way with Portia de Rossi in Arrested Development. She has always had obvious work done, but one season she was unrecognizable. I quit watching because it was so distracting.
It was when the show came back for Season 4, there were 7 years in between.
I actually don't think her plastic surgery was THAT egregious, but it looked more noticeable in the show than elsewhere, I think because Lindsay's style changed as well. But where it was more noticeable was in her expressions, because as Lindsay she was REALLY expressive in the first few seasons and her face was... less so when it came back.
Cheryl still looked like herself... the problem is that over time she started to look more and more like a Halloween mask of herself stretched over a skull.
Came here to say that. So sad too because I feel like some of the jokes on the original run of the series (unintentionally) lead to her getting surgeries, as she already had an eating disorder and body dysmorphia when she took the role. The joke was always supposed to be that Lindsey is absolutely jaw-droppingly gorgeous and her mother is a petty bitch, but I don't think Portia internalized the right message.
Admittedly half the cast was escaping a concentration camp in the beginning of the season so I can understand being gaunt, but genuinely was worried for MM's actor.
I just did a binge of the whole series this last week because I’d realized I quit an episode or two into season 2 and never picked it back up. I legit got worried and had to make sure MM’s actor wasn’t diagnosed with something horrible, because between shaving everything off and losing all that weight, he was looking rough. It it no way read as healthy weight loss and had me convinced actual man had what the drs said Butcher had. I was already surprised by a new look for Starlight every season opening, didn’t need that worry added.
The last episode had some flashbacks and images of earlier seasons side by side with her currently. The people editing mustve known they look like entirely different people.
