2 episodes in and I'm digging it. Late 70s and early 80s setting is always fun and Elizabeth Olsen is giving another great performance. She's incredibly underrated as an actress. People just see her as her Marvel character and don't realize she has put in some great work in other films (checkout Wind River for example). She's very talented and I look to see her start getting bigger roles in future high level dramas. She's on track to become the next highly decorated (awards wise) actress of the era. She gives me Frances McDormand vibes which I think is a tremendous compliment considering she's one of the best ever (alongside Streep, Benning, Amy Adams, Keaton, Bates, etc etc).
Everyone else has been solid as well including Jesse Plemons who again shows that he's one of the top character actors of modern times. The guy pops up everywhere and he always gives a strong performance. He's on a wonderful run of roles and continues to quietly build a resume that shows he's a great actor. Not bad for a kid from Texas who started out on Friday Night Lights because he actually had experience playing Texas high school Football and they needed someone for context on set. I think he's trying to become this generations Phillip Seymour Hoffman which is fantastic as he's one of my favorite actors ever.
The performances of those two will keep me entertained and so far they are executing the storyline of this true crime character study wonderfully. I highly recommend.
