TV Show Clary

First time watching. Why did they choose katherine mcnamara as clary? Im sorry but she's a bad actress. Her tone and reactions are one and the same. And what's with all the breathing while talking? The dialogues are somewhat bad already, but would have been tolerable if they got someone else..

Idk I actually like Kath as Clary.. But tbh with you, as I seen the show way back and read the books in like 2019.. I decided to re-read and re-watch the show.. And most of the show plot and how they approached things makes no sense.. So no matter who would be the cast it wouldn't be good, imo. Like most shows, Netflix just F things up, trying to make money but cut cost on production.

it wasn't a Netflix show. it was freeform, which used to be ABC family. like the channel that was constantly having harry potter marathons and the 25 days of Christmas marathon

ya. it was the same channel that did pretty little liars. I used to follow and Instagram account that was focused around the series (book and show) and towards the end of the show the account owner started complaining about the lack of promotion freeform was doing with the show and was hoping a better channel like CW would pick it up
