A lot of American actors just phone in their performances while they are busy being themselves, it just so happens that people like them. Often the British actresses are more focused and clear, like Kate Blanchett. Patricia Arquette really is in that group, which is amazing because she transcends her own, clearly defined look, when many can't. I really don't see her enough, so I'm so glad that she is in this, and she is thus far, delightfully perfect as a brilliant, unhinged mess.
While I can't watch Ben Stiller on screen, he really is doing well as executive director of this! Incredibly talented Rupert Friend is as usual, absolutely brilliant. His acting is so diverse that it is difficult to know him from one role to the next because he can transform himself so thoroughly, as proven in Lullaby for Pi and Hitman: Agent 47! His American accent is flawless and he is appropriately vapid with his hair flipping, etc. Funny for such a serious actor.
Her sidekick Weruche Opia is perfect as a balancing, stabilizing, unbalanced entity. In fact the entire cast is perfect, every one of them, and they are all strong enough to support Arquette's brilliance.
The writing is sharp, the editing is quick and the direction is on target. I look forward to more, and hope they maintain the same quality.
