Mad shines.

Brie's unwavering portrayal of the genius scientist (who does seem spectrum before we knew really what that was). She's truly special in this show. I also have to admit I'm impressed at how well it's sort of hidden how buff she's getting at this point for The Marvels, though the rowing scene sort of let the cat out of the bag.

But Madeline. This little girl has stolen my and my partners hearts. She's complex and has amazing range already and the diner scene left us both utterly heart broken. I already don't want this series to end and hope it continues. She is only going to keep shining and I hope she keeps performing.

Past the halfway point and still excellent!

Warning: Spoilers
Episode 5 of 8 is the first to feature Brie Larson's character of Elizabeth hosting her local TV show, "Supper at Six." She's resisted even the thought of it until she realizes that she's got to jack up her income to afford to send her gifted daughter to an expensive private school. Despite ignoring every piece of advice from the narrow-minded station owner desperate to reinforce late-'50s to early-'60s stereotypes of stay-at-home mothers and submissive wives, her show is instantly a hit (& not surprisingly to anyone with half a brain) with those very same bored and forgotten wives

Again, Ms. Larson effortlessly sells her learned chemist's approach to cooking instruction. While some elaborate technical explanations are more than basic meal preparation require, her sincere belief that what women provide daily for their families is not only undeniably worthwhile, but also worth doing very, very well strikes a chord. In a personal level, we can already start to sense her daughter's growing resentment of her career.
