Seriously, you have to watch Justified. Everyone who's on it is amazing, but Kaitlyn Dever is part of the extraordinary S2.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Margo Martindale, also part of S2 Justified, can go toe to toe with Dench, Smith, or Mirren, any day. She's just been given different material.

I thought Unbelievable was so so good, but I had to fast-forward through a lot of early scenes, because the way the character Marie was treated was just so awful I couldn't handle it. Once I got through the first 2 episodes, though, it was much less difficult to watch (although still enraging).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I just got to the (spoilerfonting just in case anyone who hasn't seen it yet is planning to) rape forensics textbook and all the awful implications thereof, and also Rasmussen's husband refusing to cut a hundredth of a corner and, when she says, "When he rapes again, it'll be on your conscience," shrugging, "No, it won't" as he strolls off to pick up his lo mein. Both sickening.

I love Kaitlyn Dever and Margo Martindale. I had to give up on Unbelievable because I was too sad.

If Justified has both of them, that's good enough for me.

Also, despite the overwhelming sadness, there's something incredibly nourishing about seeing so many gifted actors with great character faces and normally proportioned human bodies and crow's feet and neck wrinkles and none of the women looking any more polished or made up than any regular not-on-television woman.

Martindale is only in the second season. Deaver is mostly in the second season but appears occasionally after that. But it's like Fargo in the quality of its guest stars and recurring stars. Payton Oswalt, of all people, kicks ass on it. Mary Steenburgen. Jere Burns. Jeremy Davies. Jim Beaver. Garret Dillahunt. Stephen Root. Dale Dickey. Alicia Witt. One lone episode of Carla Gugino.

I tried out Disney+ before work this morning; I watched The Three Little Pigs. It's glitchy, though, as you might expect.

I can't get Disney+ to work at all on my roku. Very annoyed.
