Sabrina Wu is a terrible actor here. Her glib amateur performance does not belong anywhere near q real show, and stands out as extra awful in contrast to some other solid-ish performances (Akshay Khanna is super cliche cheeseball). The diverse cast as usual excludes a "normal" white guy, but at least David Dastmalchian adds some character to these cardboard cutouts (Noma Dumezweni's experienced chops notwithstanding). It's quite distracting watching Skarsgård trying to make this show good, while half the cast is just not good. I'll keep watching for the story, but the irrelevant and hamhanded "relationship" bits are cringe.

The VIPs once again are execreble actors. The gravitas and emotion of the show are turned farcical as soon as these rejects from every grade 7 play start talking. Even their gestures are cringe worthy. Non English speaking directors can not distinguish bad acting from good in foreign actors. Test this theory on any film made anywhere at any time in a non English speaking country, which contains an "American" in it. Japanese flicks are notorious for this, even Kurosawa. Break out the ham. I can imagine the ads run in Seoul papers: "Foreign English speaking actors needed." And since last time I checked Seoul isn't L. A., the pool of trained, good, professional actors must run at about ZERO candidates. Show is great otherwise: The contrast between the quality of acting in these cheesy foreigners and the Korean cast couldn't be more obvious. LA London Toronto and Vancouver have loads of actors serving table who would be great. Think about it guys.
