Ellen Page is in the top 10 best actors all time for me. Brando and Streep being the undisputed best, just so you know I'm not completely crazy for saying that. When she's flexing her range it's as intense as any other top actor but her subtlety is worthy of a thesis as well, it might even be better at points than the previous two mentioned. The show however, is not worthy of either her raw talent as an actor or the production quality Netflix endows on all it does.

I see what they were trying to do, I see the threads, from moment one. I wasn't surprised once and not impressed by anyone but Page. Although to be fair the main actors all did a fantastic job, especially the young one (to avoid spoilers). The best way I can say this I guess would be this; they thought they were writing a show as deep, well written and produced as Legion (best show on TV right now, holy hell Dan Stevens!!!), The Legend of Korra or Battlestar Galactica but ended up with (just) a really really good CW show.
