I’m gonna slog through, but as someone who loves Gillian Anderson, this show is hot regurgitated garbage
This was not a well-written show. But Gillian Anderson made the best of shitty writing.
And honestly, a Lena Headey versus Gillian Anderson series is enough to get me to commit. Wish they came together on a better project, though.
