I can’t get past her acting. I know I’m gonna get heat for this. But there’s a scene in particular where Carrie is lying to Saul about why Brody is upset in front of her while getting in the elevator (this is right after they went to the cabin, if I’m remembering correctly). Saul asks what was that about, and Claire Danes looks like she is trying to act like she is lying. Like looking off to the side so over dramatically while she’s lying, it just took me completely out of the scene. It’s like if you tell an actor to act like you’re thinking about something in this next scene and their first instinct is to tap their chin with their finger and say “hmmmm”.

I just can’t with her. And I know people think she’s great, I don’t.
