Helen isn’t the main character.


I didn’t say “the” I said “a”.

I’m on the second season and all Noah and Alison do is have sex. It’s getting tiresome.

I loved the first season, but the show gets a lot worse.

She did not for me. She continued to be the same annoying character throughout the series. By I really think it’s the actress and not the character because the characters storyline should have been interesting.


+1
I’ve always found Maura Tierny annoying.

The last season is dull and kind of strange, but I powered through.

She and Noah are two of the main characters. She definitely is, even if you can’t see it in Season 1.

We call Ruth Wilson "Old Horse Face."

I’m very late to this show and about halfway the first season. I started a new thread for anyone who, like me, is new to the show and doesn’t want spoilers.

I find Ruth Wilson to be a really good actress, but her face is so distracting, particularly her Simpsons-like mouth. I’ll be thinking how pretty she is, and then that weird mouth throws it all off. Shallow, yes, but it is what it is.

I find Maura Tierney unwatchable. I mean I actually can’t stand it when she’s on screen. I’ve never found anything appealing about her and it stretches the imagination to think a man would find her irresistible. It’s not just her looks (she also has those weird duck lips), but her very no-nonsense, practical way of speaking and mannerisms. DULL. I also felt this way when she was on ER and in a relationship with the gorgeous Luka. It made no sense.

And finally, Dominic West. Again, a good actor, but his face annoys me. He almost looks predatory when he smiles, with his big, square white teeth.

That’s it - aside from those observations I’m totally hooked and can’t wait to see where this is going!
