Switched is a member of the "Movies that undermine their own messaging by the end" group, except only as an honorary member, obviously, since it's a short TV series. Without delving into spoilers too much, the show makes a point of saying that looks don't matter, and yet completely disregards that beautiful messaging by the end. Just like 200 Pounds Beauty, and a few others.

It also doubles as a school bullying story.

The lead actress looks so much like the actress who plays Gogo Yubari in Kill Bill Volume 1 in some shots, it's actually uncanny. She is also terrific, and the range she displays in this show is a sight to see.

So yeah it's sadly just a fine body swap story but that's it. Only fine. For genre enthusiasts only.
