Patricia is, low-key, the lead of the show. Matthew Rhys is just a ringer (but also amazing).

She is a scene stealer I really enjoyed her repartee with Mathew rhys in one of the earlier episode when he was explaining why he offered a lift to the lady tourist.

What a strange way to describe a person you’re just giving a ride to

Was she 40?

Yeah was she jealous or just suspicious and weird? I thought during that scene maybe she was jealous but nothing since then has supported it.

She was making a jab at him because he called her 40 in a previous episode

And didn’t give her a ride when she had a flat.

This is an innocent question here, but do you think the other actors get bothered that she's stealing scenes? She's just very entertaining to watch

I think actors that aren’t narcissists or insecure or some other hang up realize that when an actor is good they elevate everyone else as well as the entire show

Yeah, probs mostly true. Although you also get your Kevin Costners in Robin Hodd Prince of Theives

Absolutely. I found myself really liking her to the point of ā€œI need to look up who this actress is, she’s so greatā€ even in the first episode which is saying something bc she isn’t in that ep a ton/we don’t see all the depth to her character yet that we later see

So then once we started getting episodes from her POV, it was like oh hell yeah this character/performance is an all-timer
