Since nothing can top the last episode (in my opinion) I wanted to talk about the acting.
As an actress myself I tend to always pay attention to their technics, what I would have done the same or differently, what was going through the actor's mind doing this or that scene, but with this show I just don't do that, and that is AMAZING!
It is so believable that I forget they're acting, and I know that is a cliche thing to say, but it's just such a rare thing for me to just... watch something, to be so immersed in all those characters inner monologues and beautiful stares and silences, I'm just grateful for the experience. Because it's not an easy thing to pull, believe me. To be so convincing that people just forget it's fiction. Even more when they literally start every episode showing the actors, the set and crew as they are about to get into character. It's so raw and ironic to be honest. When I first saw the opening I was sure a lot of people would hate it, for some breaking the fourth wall just breaks the "spell" of acting itself, let alone show them that what we are about to watch is a well rehearsed, well choreographed big pretend, which in my opinion is bs, because if the actors are good enough people are going to believe, and this only proves that. That's why I love it.
Love the show, how it's written and SO beautifully played.
