Am I going to be the guy to point out that Mark Wahlberg was never in a boy band? (Sorry, but "The Funky Bunch" doesn't count as a boy band. It was Donnie Wahlberg that was in NKOTB.)

It's so confusing, you know.
…so odd that particular statement being made by E. Buzz Miller!
I agree…but I also liked the subtle underplayed business about Jacob secretly being thrilled to be interacting with Che. His glee at getting a high five, for instance.
Back when the "Celebrity Free Pass" was a list of five names…and back when the unedited "Wild Side" ran on HBO, I had a similar response to people wondering why I'd "waste" one of my five on a then-dabbling Anne Heche.
Highway 2 is pretty much as North as Northern Wisconsin gets.
I did Joel's Riff Camp in Seattle in 2013.
If the underlying theme of Gracepoint is "you don't really know the people around you"…most of the cast is doing an excellent job of acting like they don't know anyone around them…or themselves, for that matter.
Less shrill than Colman?
I'm certainly not "use(d) to her as Skylar" as I didn't watch Breaking Bad.
Comparing Gracepoint to Broadchurch is similar to comparing Fox's Kitchen Nightmares to the UK's Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.
That may be the point.
I cannot stand Gunn's Miller. That's my biggest problem with Gracepoint. She looks like she's acting…she sounds like she's acting… The comparison with Olivia Colman is tragic.
The story that I'd heard, back in the day, was that products with Dexedrine were banned in the UK at one point…so people would smuggle them in across the English channel under the cover of darkness…
I remember her line reading of the title of Masterpiece Theater "The House of Buttafuoco" very well—always cracks me up.
It did open doors for him. When he left Doctor Who, it was to come to the US for his big break: starring in an American television show called "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer."
An argument could be made that the essential British-ness of Broadchurch made it such a huge phenomenon in the UK…made it catnip to Anglophiles over here…but would confuse most Americans.
Capitalism.
Actually, I thought they went too far into making the Northern California town into a Benetton ad.
