Just thought how they got to it was odd.
Yeah it was all too sudden or easy for us to go from barely any clues to BAM El Coco is something that supposedly someone in earshot of a conversation can tell you about. It's takes a whole point off for me.

It's a change from the book but even the way it was done there wasn't the most seamless way either.

Cynthia Erivo is terrible in this. .Her acting is so flat. She is not doing quirky well.

Im enjoying the show tho...but I dont get her hype. Even in the El Royale film I watched the other day she was terrible too. She might be able to sing, but her acting is not up to par IMO.

She's doing pretty good IMO. I take it as she has Asperger's...the quirks are in line with the perception of the syndrome. Her kissing the dude made sense bc they were on a date and they had some things in common :yeshrug:

I dont see it. Its a poor performance IMO. And her lil wide eyed stare is not getting it done.

Hmm . . .if that's the case I gotta agree she is not pulling it off. She is coming off a bit weird but not someone on the spectrum besides the lines where she has all this memorized knowledge.

A little back story on the character from the BIll Hodges Trilogy of books: Holly has OCD, synesthesia, sensory processing disorder, and she’s somewhere on the autism spectrum. She also has only recently become an independent person having been sheltered by her family until she was around 31.

Gotcha, I mean it is a small thing not at all taking away from the show. I don't think she is terrible or anything but you are not getting the entirety of her disorders via the performance. She just seems like a very smart person with some quirks.
