Far from it, that's exactly the point.
 It's the main criticism of many people when their favorite book/series
is turned into movie(s)/TV series, that the cast does not look like they
imagined them to look when they read the book(s).
  When the movie or TV is the original, you don't run into that, you are
presented with a fait accompli of the casting director/script
writer/producer/directors idea of what they should look like.
 Some people might want to mentally re-cast the show to suit their own
preferences, but most just accept what they're given (unless an
actor/actress is terrible at acting and practically forces them to
imagine someone competent in the role.)

I think there's also the problem when they the sort of stick to the book but not really. Where it does work for me is at one end Good Omens, very much to the book, and at the other end Bladerunner which just uses the themes.
The other problem I have is if I've watched the film/TV series then when I read the book the characters voices get into my reading.
