I'm not an expert on the profession, but I've always considered Jordan to be a pretty good actor, going all the way back to his days on The Wire.White Lotus is the perfect template for a miniseries, in my opinion. Low/no stakes. Minimal plot needed. Even less character development (the broadest of broad strokes suffice) required.
And, it's super enjoyable! THIS should be the north star for miniseries templates. Give shows that require some depth (looking at you, True Detective) enough run time to tell the story.
As an aside, I dig her, but Aubrey Plaza is the white gal equivalent of Michael B. Jordan. Neither can act a lick, but they're pretty as heck.

I've got no thoughts on Plaza, because I'm not sure I've ever seen her in anything.
Aubrey can do deadpan humor and crazy pretty well. Also, wood.As an aside, I dig her, but Aubrey Plaza is the white gal equivalent of Michael B. Jordan. Neither can act a lick, but they're pretty as heck.
I keep meaning to watch that, but I never seen to get around to it. I checked her IMDB page, and her only credit I've watched, aside from some voice work, is Scott Pilgrim, and I don't remember her at all.Parks and recreation is the only thing that comes to mind.
Watch her "Hot Ones" episode...I keep meaning to watch that, but I never seen to get around to it. I checked her IMDB page, and her only credit I've watched, aside from some voice work, is Scott Pilgrim, and I don't remember her at all.

Hey, how bout a spoiler?One episode left in Shogun…
In episode 9, Mariko, definitely the main character (and that’s what makes the difference with the previous version) thanks to her back story, has been killed by an explosion in a shinobi (ninja) attack. I wondered if there be would be a ninja attack, that was one of the best scene of the first adaptation in 1980. 🥷🏻
Excellent tv series !
Ooooops.how bout a spoiler?
I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more attention here. It was great. I rewatched the Minghella (Damon/Law) movie this week and just finished rereading the novel. "Ripley" is a much more accurate portrayal of the book than the movie. The cinematography is first rate. Think noir de noir.Ripley on Netfilix was spectacular.
Agreed, it was extremely well done. Almost all compositions could've been a beautiful photograph, taking good advantage of the high contrast black & white. Also great cast in all the smaller parts, perfectly directed. And after... a certain turn of events it becomes suitably nightmarish. Good stuff.I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more attention here.

Do you know the first (1960) adaptation? Highly recommended.Agreed, it was extremely well done.
