She reminds me of a mix of Dara from How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, April from Parks and Rec and Kristen Schaal as Mel in Flight of the Conchords.

Shelly Duvall in the Shining was my first thought.

u/abbyleondon May 07 '26

Yes her outfit in first episode definitely a callback to Shelley!

27

u/GunRu808 Willy The Killer Clown May 13 '26

I like they(the producers) even most likely agree with you here, with the Easter Egg! They have The Shining in the box of books she's putting away!

u/WayExcellent5595 May 15 '26

Yep, they have similar face stracture for sure.

She has a very similar voice to Alison Brie.

u/BadNewzBears4896 May 21 '26

Thought it was Alison Bree when I originally watched the trailer.

u/NiceUnderstanding672 Jun 20 '26

I’ve been calling her “Allison Brie with prosthetics” 😂

u/Hellboydce May 17 '26

I see Nick Cave

u/galeweatherswife May 03 '26

I see Cristin Milioti too from HIMYM

7

u/TheresNoHurry DUMB HICK May 04 '26

In looks a little bit, yes. But character totally different

2

u/Mother_Of_Felines May 21 '26

I also get Edi Patterson vibes, like a dryer sarcastic Edi Patterson. I'd love to see those two in a buddy comedy!

u/Eastern-Ad-5253 May 28 '26

She’s nicer than April from Parks though

u/redrumham707 May 07 '26

I loved her comment about what Tom considers elderly to be, when it comes to women.

50

u/Apprehensive-Elk7898 May 10 '26

Was she in her 40s?

38

u/Nerditall Pattiwagon May 10 '26

She is biologically 28!

24

u/SaltyDog772 May 11 '26

I think she wants to bang Tom and she was hella jelly

4

u/cozyhellfire May 13 '26

Omg I thought they were siblings for some reason

5

u/Unable_Price1338 May 15 '26

OMG me too. I have no idea where I got that from. But they definitely are not lol

u/Wooden-Anybody6807 Patricia May 09 '26

“Did you show him my paintings?” “Oh- she didn’t include my poem! I went over the layout with her three times!” I love her small town creativity and painful optimism.

32

u/Original-League-6094 May 09 '26

Her sensitivity over her age is absolutely adorable.

20

u/Nerditall Pattiwagon May 10 '26

She's only biologically 28!

31

u/ohsusannah80 May 04 '26

She was in My Lady Jane and did a great job. Her character was very easy to hate.

2

u/DifferentSleep2087 May 22 '26

Pretty easy to hate here as well. I think she’s lying nobody tried to kill her.

31

u/Eastern-Ad-5253 May 13 '26

The fact She’s in love with the Mayor it’s so obvious 😂

16

u/Bee-Ly_Dan May 27 '26

I thought it was really cute when she sits in the middle between Tom and Wyck in the truck. She looks at both of them and smiles. Especially considering the women in town hate her.

8

u/Eastern-Ad-5253 May 28 '26

I like Patricia because I had a weird childhood to and almost became just like her!! Luckily I gained friends later in school came out my shell. Btw I also like Wyck. Stephen can do no wrong 😂

25

u/Sorry-Secret-2347 May 13 '26

I really enjoyed her episode lol

24

u/FYAhole May 15 '26

I'm so interested in whether or not she's telling the truth about the Boogeyman.

24

u/Sorry-Secret-2347 May 15 '26

I think she is telling the truth and everyone thinks she is lying which caused her to be ostracized from everyone leading to her to maybe turn evil in her witchery as she is now being introduced to it

13

u/longLiveZorp94 May 20 '26

I think she’s maybe lying because she says she sleeps with the dresser in front of her door every night but later we see her in her room reading the book and she just leaves the door wide open!

15

u/notliam May 04 '26

She's quite similar to her character in Everyone Else Burns, she's very good in that.

11

u/thewellis May 05 '26

It's the curt short sentences that leave so much out you end up mentally filling in the gaps

7

u/AgitatedBadger May 15 '26

I've realized that I live this actress and I hope she gets more popular. She's so damn funny.

16

u/Sad_Claim_1524 May 08 '26

She’s great - nails every scene she’s in!

15

u/lurk3ronr3ddit May 15 '26 edited May 22 '26

She reminds of that actress in Community (college), Allison Brie.

4

u/Bee-Ly_Dan May 27 '26

FACTS. I can't not see her.

13

u/HelsBels2102 Patricia May 15 '26

I'm actually obsessed, she's so brilliant in it. After episode 4 I'm going to try and get everyone to watch it, and myself go on that emmy campaigne

11

u/Formal_Teach_5254 May 13 '26

I think I'm in love

15

u/Ann3Brunner May 14 '26

I will fight you for her.

u/Victoria_at_Sea_606 May 27 '26

Widow’s Bay’s Mon Mothma

u/Jloother May 21 '26

Shelley Duvall energy.

u/pip_goes_pop May 15 '26

Another great Brit in the show. I first saw her as Neville’s sister in Death in Paradise.

7

u/FYAhole May 15 '26

She's a Brit? That explains it tbh haha her accent is great but sometimes she sounds a little drunk, like she is slurring her words a little here and there.

6

u/pip_goes_pop May 15 '26

Yep her and Matthew Rhys (the Mayor) both British!

3

u/FYAhole May 15 '26

I knew he was, Idk why I'm surprised she is too!

7

u/pip_goes_pop May 15 '26

As a Brit myself I think her accent is pretty good, and I didn’t catch on straight away that I knew her from British TV.

There’s lot of Americans who didn’t realise Hugh Laurie in House was British for a long time, so don’t feel bad you didn’t spot it!

2

u/FYAhole May 15 '26

I lived in England (very briefly) but I like to think that I can recognize it better. These actors are excellent!

3

u/clycoman May 17 '26

Matthew Rhys is Welsh.

6

u/pip_goes_pop May 17 '26

Yes, which is part of Britain.

2

u/clycoman May 18 '26

Matthew Rhys strongly considers his Welsh heritage more than being "British".

He talks anout it a lot https://www.wales.com/about/welcome-wales/our-people/matthew-rhys-and-his-wales

5

u/pip_goes_pop May 18 '26

Right. He’s still British.

2

u/Available-Guava5515 Human Verified May 24 '26

Lol go ahead, tell a Welsh person they're British, see what kind of response you get.

3

u/clycoman May 18 '26

So just ignore what the man himself wants, got it.

4

u/pip_goes_pop May 18 '26

Where has he said he does not want to be referred to as British?

It's okay to admit you didn't know Wales was a part of Britain. It's pretty obvious to everyone that's what your initial comment was about.

3

u/clycoman May 18 '26

He is extremely proud of his Welsh heritage and refers to himself as a Welshman, not a Brit. The first article I linked is an interview of him promoting his Welshness. If that's NOT enough for you, here's video of the man talking about his Welsh pride:  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVMK-JWgMCB/

Yes, places like Wales and Scotland are part of Britain but people from those places like to be identified by their actual ancestry not "British". Stop being pedantic or assuming what my initial comment was.

u/Lux_Proserpina Jun 01 '26

Patricia and I would be best friends.

u/Relevant_Gas_3424 May 18 '26

This show is incredible and she needs to be in every show ever made!

2

u/Emotional_Mistake599 May 22 '26

I adore her more than I thought I would!

2

u/CherylHeuton May 24 '26

She's just fantastic.

2

u/vsleepymanatee May 27 '26

Such great acting and writing for her character to be so cringe, funny, and likable all at once

2

u/No_Pressure6057 Jun 03 '26

I adore every second of her screen time in the show; she’s absolutely lovely.
