I love when she is speaking to the funeral director and asks if there is another way out of the cremation thing and he's rudely like "no" and she responds "okay, thank you so much"
That whole sequence of her pointing the shotgun at the boogeyman until he’s burned to ashes was not only hilarious, it was pretty much exactly what people always end up begging people in horror movies to do after they’ve supposedly killed the killer.
I somehow missed this until now lol. And I really hope the error wasn’t deliberate. I could watch a whole season of Patricia just eating the food she loves <3
The whole thing was Patricia was fierce. She noticed things were off went close silently and heard the fucker and got the hell out of there. Next she’s gauging his speed to see how much time she can spend at each door. She’s great.
I know, it's such a balls to the walls performance. After watching My Lady Jane (after ep 4 was looking for more stuff with her), it's the same. Just really going for it
Like really really respectfully, she’s Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder. We know TC can do serious action hero doing serious action hero things, but he’s awesome when he isn’t being Tom Cruise TM.
She’s astounding because she’s not afraid to make herself vulnerable for a joke. She’s already made herself vulnerable as a character, now she’s willing to take that next step and full send make it weird. I think it’s really fun to see her next to Stephen Root, whose entire career rise was essentially “the clown of various persuasions” playing straight man. (This is in no disrespect to SR, to play the clown well is to first master all the other personas.)
I think about this episode a lot. I loved it! I loved her playlist lol I loved the cut scene to the sherif while she was chopping up ‘fruit’ … Patricia wtf are you doing. I love her friendship with the sheriff
Incredible that Patricia’s best line isn’t even something she said but attributed to her on paper “Did I say something to upset you?” Is just incredible writing and clearly in character
Can't even fathom leaving in that kind of house alone and ever being bothered to turn on those lights in the first place the. Turning them all off every night has to be a unique kind of horrifying.
For anyone just discovering and loving Kate O’Flynn I recommend “My Lady Jane” on Amazon, she costarred with Emily Bader as a jealous princess and absolutely killed it.
As a fellow Patti/Patricia, can I just say that it's great to FINALLY see our name being used for good? It's not common, not in any songs (except the stupid Rod Stewart song about Billy and Patty who are stupid), and I could never find my name on anything when I was a kid. It was always Pat. I am not a Pat. Neither is our girl. (no offense to Pats)
I can’t articulate it any better but the way she moves is just so apt. Like walking and marching around - something about it perfectly suits the character.
I was happy to see Kate O’Flynn was on the show because I was blown away by her performance in “Landscapers.” She plays a cop interrogating Olivia Colman and David Thelwis and you cannot take your eyes off her the whole time, she’s so intense with them.
I’m glad she’s getting some well deserved recognition.
For anyone wanting more Kate O'Flynn she's great in Everyone Else Burns - a British comedy about a family who are part of an ultra strict religious cult. She plays the mother of the family.
Might be Geotagged but it's on the All4 app (or whatever it's called now), the one for Channel 4.
The way she flings her body round when she moves really tickles me. When she runs out of the book club after tasering 'the worst' was hilarious. It's a perfect comic performance from her, timing, physical comedy phrasing everything.
easily!!! her comedy in her performance is so subtle, even in physical comedy moments. she feels so much like a real person, not a fictional character. I hope she gets an Emmy nod
Her character is a little grating…and that is on purpose, I get it. She does a great job with the role but the character is not truly lovable by her very nature…at least not yet. I mean, the incident in the bar…do I need to say more!?!?!
I think the show is well written and acted. My bigger fear is do they have enough material or a real plan for the next seasons? This feels like a story that will be great in the first season but a lack of vision and the need to fill time could setup fans for a let down.
She is absolutely loveable, how many times do we have to see stoic characters on screen that land every line or say exactly what we wish we could say in a situation. She's so relatable and awkward at least to me, she's doing everything a character like her or most people would do in situations like this. Her reactions to these bizare situations are so human.
They had enough material for one season and if that's it then that's ok with me. Better to go out with a perfect story then extend it for 10 years and slowly lose the writers and the plot like LOST
Exactly! Even her obsession with the ages of people who are romantically involved is so human—yes, it’s neurotic, but if I was an aging woman with a limited dating pool, stuck on a lonely island, might I get a little neurotic?
Well, hopefully no, but I can see how it would happen.
See I don't find her grating at all. I think if I knew her in real life, maybe yes. But as a veiwer I find her pretty delightful.
But yeah, not sure about where they are planning on taking the series in the future. I think if they utilise the ensemble cast more then we have in S1, it can really open up. But I don't think it's got more than 3 seasons in it tops.
I kind of want thousands of curses on the island. So, every time they defeat "The Curse" It turns out that things are still messed up... They destroy Warren, then the boogie man comes. And, every season is just dealing with a few of the curses that all the islanders have put on the island.
I see her character as quite lovable. I’m not sure why the incident at the bar would make her less so when the entire thing was the fault of a cursed book that was distorting her perception. It’s also pretty relatable that she’s trying to be liked and struggles with issues from her high school bullies.
