The dp and the set designer should get every award possible. Knitwear - gorgeous.
I'll get to Tom Hiddleston in a minute.
The cast is divine - with the exception of that little doctor. He almost sucks the air out of whatever scene he's in but the other actors are so strong, they stop every scene he's in from going under.
But Clare Danes- what a nightmare. Just as I wrote this, I got an image of that jack-o-lantern grimace she made at the first dinner table scene with Tom H and his family when she was trying to be whimsically challenging or adorably contentious. She's says something like " So you don't believe in pro- gress?". Her accent is hideous and her scene chewing is almost unbearable to watch.
But I will continue to watch this show - each episode over and over - so that I can look and listen to god's gift to mankind- Tom Hiddleston.
He's a very fine actor . I saw him on stage in " Betrayal" and I've seen every movie he's made. I could go on and on but I won't. I'll just say it's impossible to take my eyes off him when he's in a scene - for many, many reasons. He is , quite simply, the most charismatic, talented in even more ways then he's given credit for, magnetic and gorgeous man on the face of the earth. He's just stunning- in so many ways. But his sex appeal, warmth, humor and intelligence just jumps off the screen and the stage and hits you in all the right places.
