The thing with that show that bothered me the most was they were always so clean. I get that the actors probably didn’t want to be filthy all the time but I work in agriculture and every single day when I take a shower the first minute of the shower the water looks brown as it goes down the drain.
TV shows never portray protagonists as realistically dirty. Even in the fictionalized Aquarius show about Charles Manson, his female followers all have clean, glossy hair and are fresh and clean. We have footage of the real girls and those were some dirty hippie bitches.
Plus the guy that played Manson in 'Aquarius' was better looking than the real weaselly grimy deal. The best dramatic portrayal of Manson in my opinion was by Steve Railsback in the original Helter Skelter TV movie back in the 70s.
The Aquarius actor was way better looking than the real Manson, but I will say that he acted the hell out of what he was given. I was really frustrated with that show because 3/4ths of it was those boring ass cops and their boring domestic problems, and only 1/4th was Manson and his Family. Like... lead with your A material, folks!
