The Lizzie character

Seems too beautiful for the part. In real life would have been a big star or married a very wealthy guy instead of pursuing a life of crime, no?

Nothing against the actress but I didn't find her especially attractive. Not quite ugly but an odd looking face and too skinny.

Nevertheless I don't agree with the premise of a woman being "too beautiful" to be that type of con artist considering her attractiveness is one of her most useful tools as a con artist & the character in question seems to enjoy the life of a con artist & would likely not feel content being a trophy wife.

Would be easy for her to be a model or even a Bond girl. A lot of the Bond girls weren't even actresses, just beauty pageant winners.

Con artist = things like nasty associates, extreme danger, incarceration, ....

lol you didn't find her attractive? Her body was a 10 out of 10 , and was irresistible in those tight pants she always wearing

No. The hair, makeup and wardrobe crew did the best they could but I just don't see it. To each their own i guess.

she is, quite honestly, disgusting, and i dont mean it as a character in the series... yes she is not ugly, but to give her 10 out of 10 - not even close, she's too skiny, her nose looks like i dont know, her mouth and teeth look like she is underdeveloped (child) and all in all she is repulsive... she could be a capable actress, though

All con artists get a sort of "high" from each con - it was mentioned in the show multiple times how they just love the life. She would not have given that up if that's in her nature.

I think some of it is you see her taking advantage of her smoking hot body as a way to con people.

i think you need to learn what "real life" is, not every girl gets to be a model or movie star , no matter how good looking.
And I'd like to think that at least some of them are not OK with prostituting themselves out to a "wealthy guy" even though , for some inexplicable reason, it seems to be a socially accepted norm.

I thought this thread was going to be about how batshit crazy she was and kept sabotaging Pete's business even though that directly affected the joint con they were in.
Maybe the writers were going for " jealous / needy / self destructive"
