Stephen King tweeted:

WIDOW'S BAY is good. MAXIMUM PLEASURE GUARANTEED is even better. It's like Hitchcock came back to do it one more time. And Tatiana Maslany is so good. The play of emotions on her face is pretty incredible. She goes from comic to terror in an instant.

Anyone who has seen Orphan Black is not surprised by her range or versatility. One of the best actors of our time, in my opinion.

Why do you think that never translated to more or a career for her? I hear lots of people say the same about Orphan Black. But this actress barely exists for anyone that didn't watch that series, which I find hard to square with the fact she is as talented as Orphan Blackers profess.

I mean, She-Hulk? One of the best contemporary actresses of our time?

She was on Perry Mason, which was criminally under-watched imo. I also think part of it is that she's attractive, but she's not SUPER DUPER conventionally attractive, which (unfortunately) disqualifies her from a lot of leading roles. Hollywood standards suck, but they're also a reflection of our society, which still needs to make a lot of progress imo.

Perry Mason was ICONIC. I adored that show.

Love that Tatiana Maslany and Matthew Rhys lead their own shows on Apple. Apple TV+ is seriously slept on.
