I did have a moment when the series was announced looking at the playing Jamie and thinking he looked too short. But then I realized I was underestimating how tall Caitriona Balfe is (she's 5'10"). And as someone who's read all the books, I'm enjoying the show immensely.

He's also quite good in Sleeping With Other People, which is not a great movie but has some very fun performances.

I think I can make an argument for his Sirk work, but it would be very close.

The Wolf Hall novel is really, really great.

Female gaze! This is not something we should be ignoring!

God damn it, Zeke,.

I think Jason Sudeikis is somehow doing Best Supporting work in his bits. No, seriously. His scene with the ham radio had me in tears.

I love it. Unreservedly. Such a great cast, the writing and directing is really strong, they're willing to lean into the craziness…
