And he’s choosing an actress that he has lots of experience working with. The show will survive. And, I think, it will prosper.
For the sake of the series I hope you’re right. I also hope Whittaker can surprise but I doubt it. Her character on Broadchurch left a very bad impression.
Sure, it was a very stressful character. I thought she played it perfectly, though. Similarly, her Black Mirror character was absolutely awful and easy to hate. But again, performance wise she did it right, in my opinion.
No clue how she is going to play this role, but I’m hopeful that she and Chibnall will nail it.
