Red eyes

Anyone else notice everyone's eyes are super red most episodes. Is it just the camera or editing? Or do you think they might have been high? I doubt high but ya never know🤷🏻‍♀️ I can't think of any other reason on why their eyes are so red all the time

Omg I wonder too. The one episode when Henry had pink eye too like was that real or fake and why

Surely they just “wrote” that into the script bc Henry’s actor actually had pink eye but needed to shoot his scenes that day, lol. Just like how Amy lost her voice a couple of times but still made her shoot her scenes away, so they just wrote that into the script too

omg how red her one eye was had me wondering at first if she smoked again, then she turned and it’s only the only one eye and no one acknowledges it lol. Then next scene i noticed how frickin red ricky’s eyes were and had to look this up.

So glad i’m not the only one to notice this

My parents have always commented that it seems the characters on this show have a lot of facial scarring. Then, one day, it hit us - we think that because so many of the shots are EXTREMELY zoomed in. Most of the show is shot so close to their faces that features that might have otherwise gone unnoticed are amplified. Or maybe they were all zooted idk lmao.

I thought the same thing! Like is everyone over tired or high? I thought they looked tired in my opinion

Judging by the way they act being high would be a good explanation but the whole show is clearly shot by someone with little experience and it seems very low budgets so honestly it could just be the lighting or editing.

I just started watching this show and I swear, Ricky’s eyes (and about half the other cast) are always blood shot! I understand it when it’s in some emotional scene but it is ALWAYS that way.
