The Uncanny

Insanely good acting by the younger versions of the stars. Tiffany Boone deserves an Emmy, Golden Globe, or whatever other award they can throw at her for her performance here.

This episode was okay but wasn't really needed. It could have been the first half of an episode but there was just a lot of information that wasn't necessary and you feel like is never going to come up again in the show.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

The episode shows a little backstory of Elena and Mia. And how they came to be. A lot of questions are answered with the mystery of these two characters. Emotional driven script and direction. Great performances with the cast.

I personally think that we will have to rethink all the discussions about who is a likable and who is an unlikable character. This episode was important in terms of that. It puts things into perspective. And we should also forget about the Kerry Washington's facial expression narrative, it doesn't matter anymore (it never mattered to me. unpopular opinion - i like her approach). The acting was amazing. The actors who played young Kerry and young Reese nailed it in every way. YAY

I don't particularly care for the way this show was adapted from the book, and I also don't typically write reviews, but I was just STUNNED by how well Tiffany Boone portrayed Kerry Washington down to the way her freaking lips moved!! It was so good. That's all I have to say.
