Aaaaah, that explains a huge amount, both about the visuals, and the presence of D'onofrio.

Its to the show's great credit that they let that stand without particularly trying to soften it, and allow the audience to come round to realizing it for themselves, without short changing the Hero by having her do an inorganic 180 so the audience doesn't get uncomfortable.

Yeah, I'm ok with television taking a Mr Robot-esque approach and accepting that the audience will work out 'big twists', so not particularly trying to hide them so the audience misses the smaller, more emotionally resonant twists/details, and focusing on -why- the twist matters, rather than shock value.

At least 24 other things!

Kind of like Luther, then? I've been wondering whether to watch it or not, but I worried it might be another 'great performances, decent first season, writing kind of falls off from there' show.

Oh, to be clear, I've watched every episode perfectly happily, I'd just feel quite happy recommending a one season binge as it's own thing.

I enjoyed Continuum, the best part of it really was the steady realisation that the Hero is on the wrong side, and the real story to be had is whether Crash from Crash and the Boys subverts his destiny or not.

Only season one, mind, it's all downhill from there.

My current method of only watching TWD episodes that feature Carol and /or Jesus is working out pretty good for me. I've only had to commit a few hours and because nothing ever really happens on that show I don't feel particularly out of the loop.

Gael is so great in Mozart in the Jungle , that show deserves more love.

Yeah, I'd watch a whole video of just his accents. I feel like Hardy has a tendency to find really specific voices/individuals and model himself around them. You could never criticise him of not committing to a character.

It is pretty good, but I've never been convinced he's actually British. It is jolting when he 'fakes' his real accent, though.

I'm not a big fan of that film series, but credit where credit is due, Zellweger's accent is actually pretty damn good. It's a specific sort of accent, but very much something you'd hear in an office in London somewhere.

Well that was super interesting (and the way that Singer can just mimic all of those carefully built accents with ease is incredible).

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is too precious to be tainted by these lessers.

If this were a world in which people had previously heard of Zombies, I would'be assumed that the pair of rollerskates belonged to a hipster couple as part of their poorly conceived ZA survival plan.

Man, thank God Jesus is back!

Of course WhiJo angry crunches. Everything about the Daryl/WhiJo plot this episode was lovely. The snail! Ugh, my heart.

I do! I agree it has its stupid moments, but also its lovely ones. Also Gael is wonderful. I find it very comfort-foody. I'm really looking forward to season 3.

Yeah - he's not quite Carlos Valdes level, but it definitely helps him stand out here. Its amazing how some more interesting line readings and mannerisms (see: all the jumping) can instantly flesh out a performance from, as you put it, blandly handsome.
