foy and kirby are good as sisters, with this confrontation particularly strong: e2r powerless to get margaret to see past the good sex to the likely problem and margaret chilling on e2r's decision to be invisible in plain sight

good god President Dexter was hilariously awfulJFK trolling, more like a young Mayor Quimbythe only thing decent was his teeth and even then he barely had a good smile! and since when was he dark haired?

wow, Micheal C Hall is so bad he should be cast-rationed. Lol xps! at least he nailed Quimby. But It is a very jarring performance to say the fucking least. Ep 8 never recovered from that awfulness at all.

i did really love the final moment between Lizzie & Jackie though, and her mixed regrets over maintaining the high ground. idk, just in terms of succesful women navigating each other & the complexities that insecuruty bringsand claire foy, man when she hears the insults firsthand and her eyes fill with tears but she doesn’t buckle. killed me.

They made bolder storytelling moves in the second season - starting in the middle of something then backing up several months, interleaving flashbacks, etc.

i love this show but the jfk/jackie o episode was maybe the worst one of all. i like michael c hall but his jfk was awful and his performance was just weird, and the jackie o performance was bizarre too, and she confessed all of their intimate secrets to elizabeth at like their second meeting ever???

So many things about that ep made exactly no sense. Both Kennedys were socially savvy and well-prepared by staff; they would not have Billy-Bobbed into the palace and started talking about their bowels.
I mean, if the point you want to make is "Americans are brash and informal while Britishes are polite and reserved," there's like a zillion other examples you could use.
LBJ probably woulda wiped his ass with a corgi and called Nehru "boy."

^ good ep idea for next season btw
Also "Americans are brash and informal while Britishes are polite and reserved" is a really lazy point btw

We're looking for something to binge. Watched the first three episodes of the first season - does it stay that good?
― Chuck_Tatum, Sunday, 31 December 2017 14:53 (six years ago) link
Yes. If anything, it gets better.
― trishyb, Sunday, 31 December 2017 14:58 (six years ago) link
Definitely better. The swanky Margaret stuff is way more fun than Churchill in the fog, for instance.
― twas in the fleek midwinter (Ye Mad Puffin), Sunday, 31 December 2017 15:38 (six years ago) link
agreed on that point, yes.
really curious to see what the next season of this is going to be like with different actors.

Menzies was good in Casino Royale, and he was a+ in HBO’s Rome. I approve of the casting
