Never judge a book by its cover. Not many people know this, but that sentence is an idiom and not really about books. It literally means – never judge a person by their face. You might think Shamik's face belongs to a sensible, practical man. You'd be wrong. He's not the responsible older sibling. He's not good at chess. He's not a nerd. At least, not in a useful way. Despite Appearances is an effort to put things right and break away from shallow, face-driven stereotypes. But you should just watch it for a laugh.
