It's such a...What a fabulous analysis of Saul.<br /><br />It's such a great show. They made me completely believe everything in all the storylines. Storylines which, if I listed them now, would sound ridiculous and hard to believe.<br /><br />I love how they keep you guessing about the Damien Lewis character. Even now, after so much is revealed, I'm not sure what he's going to do or what he's thinking.<br /><br />The motivations are so well set up.<br /><br />I've got to think about this more. Or maybe have a few drinks with Sinead so she can help me figure it out... but I think the similarities and differences between the Danes and Lewis characters are fascinating too. He's hiding everything. So controlled. But when he does react to stuff it's super volatile and violent. And you have no idea what he's thinking. Ever. Her motivations and ideals are more straight forward... And she's reacting to everything all the time... But also very good at deception. Fascinating characters. Fascinating. Both the writing and acting in that show are so great.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-7118943673567882142012-05-25T11:50:19.457-04:002012-05-25T11:50:19.457-04:00We watched it and I was absolutely riveted by it. ...We watched it and I was absolutely riveted by it. The tension of trying to figure out what was happening with Damian Lewis both on the outside and the inside was incredible. Claire Danes as the sanest crazy person in the room. Everything. It was amazing.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803986849921870941noreply@blogger.com
