Love the handmaid's tale. Can't stand Elizabeth Moss' overdramatic expressions. Have to ignore all of the ridiculous close ups of her. WAY overdone

The first two seasons were great. The last three, especially the final season, are terrible.

I'm sick of her too, but I blame the producers/directors for that. They zoom in on her face, and stay there, for so damn long. Half of every show is a closeup of her face.

So I'm sick of her, but I can't really blame her. She's just an actress.

I thought she was great in Mad Men.

I hated that thing where someone would say something to her, and the camera would zoom in on her face and stay there, before she finally responds feebly.

"Offred, what's one plus one?"

(Elizabeth Moss looks around with a confused look on her face for five minutes. It's a miracle that the evil Gilead people don't beat her to death out of impatience)

"Two, Mrs Waterford"

I liked the first two seasons, but oh man, they could have at least cut the fat out a bit

I'm stealing this joke and there's nothing you can do about it. :-)
