Nice! How are you liking it so far?

That's reflected in a lot of her other performances floating around on YouTube, too. She's got an impressive talent for finding the emotional beats within a song and drawing attention to them through specific use of her face/body and visual effects/gimmicks. Usually drag performances elicit more of a "YAS BITCH WERK"…

"If you want to be spotlighted, you need to force yourself into the
spotlight, and some queens were much better at that than others."

I don't think I'd call Shea a mediocre lipsyncer; her performance during the Kardashian musical can attest to her abilities. She was still great here, but Sasha really took everything to a whole other level.

Oh, and as a follow up, some of my favourite scenes from the entire show:
- Both of the scenes between Daniel and Tawney from which I drew quotes above.
- "Because I know you, because I know you, because I know you."
- The Thrifty Town managers' seminar and Amantha's speech.
- Daniel in Atlanta, discussing with Peggy the…

I finally finished the last couple of episodes. Like a few of you did a while back, I delayed watching the finale because I didn't want this to be over; this has been such a magical show to experience, and I'll only be able to watch it for the first time once.

That's how I read it, too. It cemented one of the central ideas of this show, which I believe our illustrious reviewer covered back in season two. The mystery of this show isn't "who killed Hanna" or even "did Daniel kill Hanna". Daniel IS the mystery of this show, and that's been further supported by other dialogue…

I can't tell if you're being ironic, which I suppose is par for the course on the Internet.

I've had to use the block feature, too, just because most of the comments on here are so wonderful to read and a handful of people derail my enjoyment. It's sweet relief once they're blocked and you can't see the idiotic comments, though.

Rectify and Six Feet Under are now my two all-time favourite TV shows, and I agree; I'd happily recommend one to somebody who liked the other. Aside from their depictions of humanity/relationships/mental illness, they also both deal with a late-30s male protagonist coping with life under the shadow of mortality…

"You a good girl… say your prayers, you'll be alright."

I can relate, too. I've never been to jail or done anything close to the things Daniel was incarcerated for, but I'm made foolish decisions in the past and been cast out for them, and I connect to Daniel's sense of upheaval and empathise with him as he struggles to make sense of his life and to make sense of the…

I'm assuming you're talking about Masters of Sex when you mention her previous work? Funnily enough, she ended up being my favourite actor on the show by the final season, with one of the most wonderfully satisfying arcs.

Can confirm this (seven months late, but whatever). I'm friends with a lot of artsy/creative types, both male and female, and some of them are like this; eccentric, a little flighty and evasive, dealing (or not dealing) with their own pain.

I'd certainly let both of them put their boots under my bed. At the same time, even.

Good to hear! It's a wonderful show to rewatch, although some episodes feel a bit more twee than the show might have been if Whedon had created it in present day (not this episode, though - this episode is absolute perfection).

So, Caitlin Fitzgerald is on this show now and I couldn't be happier. Between Rectify, Masters of Sex and UnREAL, she's building up a really interesting resumé of dramatic television roles!

Same. I've gotten my partner completely hooked on the show, but thus far nobody else has heeded my recommendation. :(

Me, too! I'm so happy to see her given a chance to play a different character. She was my favourite thing about MoS and probably the main factor that kept me watching the whole series (season three was a bit of a slog, yeah, but her character always compelled me), and it's nice to immediately see that she's not…

It's also tied for the most moving show I've ever seen on TV (tied, that is, with Six Feet Under, which I'd recommend to anyone who liked Rectify since they touch on some similar themes and both have deliberate pacing and a slightly surreal edge).
