Great series, one of the best I’ve seen. The acting was spectacular and should win awards.
Off topic but Skargard is going to be playing Baron Harkonnen in Dune. That guy can act. |

I'm really impressed with the cast for Dune. Gonna be spectacular. I hear the King of Jordan will even make an appearance.

yeah I mean they were supposedly dead or at-least knocked out because they were right over the core. It wasn't like a pilot error they were ****ed. The person taking the shot died later the week.

Nothing more i can say that hasn't already been said. A must watch series. The final episode was outstanding.

There WERE members of the scientific community who shared her views. And like Scherbina said, braver men than her had an opportunity to stand up to similar foes and when the time came, they did nothing. If you're going to create a composite character, I have an issue creating one that takes all the good from those characters and none of the bad. Her being a steadfast, loud voice of 'truth' and passing it off as "well I can't say it myself because I'm a women, or else I would..." just shrugs off exactly why people in her position actually couldn't say it. They'd be ****ing prosecuted and imprisoned for it. And so they didn't. It was my lone frustration in an otherwise amazing series. In a show about the bleakness of moral ambiguity, they just plop one steadfast, strong-willed, truthteller in there and make her unflinching all the way. Hell, she didn't even really serve that much of a narrative function beyond being someone that would allow for 'sciency' conversations to act as exposition and explain things to the viewers. Emily Watson did a fine job with the part but the character was out of place, IMO.

Agreed. I've always loved his acting.

Yeah, I don't know about that. It was a good show. Very depressing though, and them not having Russian accents still pisses me off.

I'm sure a bunch of Englishmen, a Swede, an Irish woman, another english woman and a bunch of token character actors from Game of Thrones could've totally all matched Russian accents in a sensible manner and emoted with the same intensity that they did in their native tongues. They should've absolutely had them all sounding like Sam Neil in Hunt for Red October. When he staggered through "I would liked to have seen Montana" in his dying breaths, it brought a tear to my eye.

Narcos worked because it was mainly in Spanish by fluent actors. If it had been Brad Pitt trying to pull off a Spanish accent, it wouldn’t work. If you can’t get legitimate Russian actors, just don’t even try. This quality of actors are better just acting instead of trying to pull off a Russian accent. We know most from other roles. We know they are not Russians. I’d rather have quality actors and ignore British accents in Russia.
