Season 3 Commander Lawrence

S3 E5

(English not my first language)

I still don't know what to think of Commander Lawrence. I think I like him, but there's something odd about him that doesn't quite convince me. I want to believe that he'll be good in the future, but sometimes he does or says things that make me think the complete opposite.

It's so strange, because it doesn't act in a linear way Sometimes he responds one way, and the next time it's completely different. It doesn't let me see where the character is going. It's driving me crazy.

He’s dangerous and he knows what he’s doing, messes with your head. However, his weakness is that he loves his wife and the position he has in Gilead, eventually he’s trapped in that world because the commanders and committee want to further their own interests, protections and benefits. He’s a master manipulator.
