Tess Thompson is playing her role in a complicated way. Evan Rachel Wood coached her and Thompson studied Wood's version of Dolores. Thompson even sat and watched Wood act out the Halores scenes from this season to use as a benchmark. Basically Tess Thompson is trying to play Even Rachel Wood playing a broken version of Dolores.

How immediate was that fall? I remember thinking season 1 was some of the best TV ever, and then I got to like episode 3 of season 2 and could feel my interest waning. I "think" I finished that season, but never queued up season 3. [Reply]

We never finished season 2 here. The only other show I have soured on so quickly come season 2 was Heroes but that had a lot to do with the writers strike. [Reply]

This news is a relief.
I couldn't bring myself to even watch S4 this time around. Doubt I ever will at this point.
Every season before that had unfulfilled promise and it just didn't seem to me the writers ever had a clue where they wanted to go with the story and what they wanted to do with the characters. [Reply]

For me it was the William reveal that started the downfall of the show. [Reply]

Season three is where they fucked up IMHO SEASON 2 was fine, hard to follow but hand waved away with a good season 3. Season 3’went fucking crazy and season 4 followed [Reply]
