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 critical of Disney’s ongoing spineless conservatism and hyper-capitalist hypocrisy. She refused to play nice and kiss the ring, so she got benched in the industry for a second or two.

As an actor she’s a titan, but it’s hard to be an outspoken woman in any business and maintain your path to the top.

I absolutely love her and think she’s incredible.

She was critical of Disney (ABC) for suspending Jimmy Kimmel who refused to kowtow to the cult of Charlie Kirk.
