Tatiana Maslany is an absolute revelation. The body language! The facial expressions! That's all her, and it's all amazing.
It's strange that saying 'she's so good at playing different characters!' should be an amazing thing, given that that's what actors are supposed to do, lol. But it's still totally amazing. There are tons of actors who are just sort of... same-y, no matter what they're in. And watching shows like TVD and SPN (where people are possessed or have body switches) has made me realize that a lot of actors are not actually that good at really crafting characters or mimicking other characters. Tatiana Maslany would have been amazing on Dollhouse. And of course here it's doubly amazing because so often she's acting against herself, and doesn't have a real presence to react off of.
