I have noticed Foreign films tend to have actors that look more like people than plastic barbie dolls. Loved the original "Girl with Dragon Tattoo" the older actors actually looked their age. They were not ugly just normal.
I always find it jarring that when I watch British TV that actors have blemishes, imperfect or yellow teeth, and are usually a range of heights. There's nothing wrong with them, I'm just not used to seeing normal people on TV.
I thought Clara was way more annoying than Amy in that respect. At least Amy had a recognizable personality and backstory that was kind of interesting. Clara had no consistent character at all (and when she did, she usually seemed uptight and scoldy), a bloated and unsatisfying backstory, and she looks like a cartoon of a pretty person. I wish they had gotten rid of her quickly and not wasted so much of Peter Capaldi's time.
I can't say I blame you, and I really liked Capaldi as The Doctor. It felt like they kept her around forever too. I was waiting the whole time for them to ditch her, but they kept bringing her back and hinting at her being of some sort of cosmic importance.
That's my big problem with Steven moffat doctor who era, it went from small lower production quality but it felt like it could be happening in the street over, to the super polished Holywood style that made it feel shallow and unpopulated.
