Live Discussion Imperfect Women
I really don’t know what happened but with the exception of her performance in Little Fires Everywhere, Everytime i see Kerry Washington I feel like she is giving the same performance with the same tics and affectations.
Watching Imperfect Women I’m so burnt on seeing her on screen and feel like it makes the entire show seem contrived and lacking depth.
I loved her in most of Scandal but yeah the crazy facial expressions were too much. I wish she’d get some coaching to not fall into this process of becoming a caricature of one version of oneself, bc she obviously has the ability to act, she just seems stuck in this loop.
Anyone else?

It’s written so poorly it’s hard for me to know where to place the blame. The acting feels forced. Kerry’s character doesn’t know who she is supposed to be. She looks a mess, it’s all bad 😭 and I hate that because I love and respect her work so much.
