This was excoriating viewing. I was riveted to every second of this episode. They'd under-utilised Claire Danes 'til this episode.
This one episode immediately made her feel over-utilised. I've never seen a single episode of any tv show ever feel this raw or real. We just took almost a villainous character and flipped them so hard that it was almost a complete u-turn. I don't think I'll ever forget this episode because it simply showed how you can strip-away your perspective on a person, on a situation and really appreciate the awfulness that is going on in their life.
Watch it with caution. It's almost painful. Beautiful and painful and truly one of the most memorable things I've ever seen. Claire Danes reminded me how acting should be.
