But this:

The script does enlarge and develop in flashback the role of the man’s wife (played by Charlize Theron), who disappears quite early from the novel, choosing suicide rather than what she imagines will be starvation or worse.

Yep, that sounds like a Charlize Theron role all right.

I think the character in the book was better as a cipher marked primarily by her absence.

Thanks, Cor. My second season ahem appears to be of a lower video quality than the first, so it was hard to tell.

It's all in the game, right?
