I have not seen Homeland, How to Get Away With Murder or, Empire and both Keri Russell and Robin Wright are really good. But are any of these actors playing a half dozen different roles, playing them so that you can tell they are all different, and you can tell when she is playing one of them impersonating another,…

well then how do you explain this:

More could have been said about “12 Monkeys” here. The show also includes yet another intelligent woman of mature years (Dr Katarina Jones, as played by Barbara Sukowa) who is the leader of the Project Splinter community. The diversity is reflected in its occasional cast members, many of whom inhabit the role of…
