And i can't buy into Reva, the actress or the character. Those scenes between the two of them were bad.

Can we get to some space ships and explosions and shit please? I'm here for pod chases, monster creature things, kick ass robots and explosions.

Yeah - the only thing that might salvage that exchange is if, on re-watch at the conclusion of the series, it turns out that Reva is the Jedi double-agent being floated around.

I mean it would still be a little cringy, but i guess if you look at it through 'an actor playing someone who's trying to act' you can maybe give it a little more latitude.

Though, I mean, it would clearly be contrived. I have a hard time believing the actress is playing the part as someone who's actually a bad actor when in fact the ACTRESS is really a good actor.

Indira Varma is KILLING the 'double agent' sort of role in that she's balancing all that indecision fairly well and playing both sides in a believable manner. Then again, she's just a good actress (GOT fans probably recognized her almost immediately - man that's just a classically beautiful woman).
