Like, this is not even a hate post. It’s just the truth. How the hell did she or anyone agree to release that show. She literally made a caricature of an amazing woman. A fellow black woman, for that matter!
How did she fail in capturing Michelle. Why did she make it look like a parody.
Great actors are allowed to have least marvelous performances, but this one’s different. It’s like she was mocking Michelle through her performance. It was horrid af. This is what happens when you’re so huge and surrounded by yes-people.
edit: The petty downvotes won’t diminish the truth of this post. Viola’s performance as Michelle Obama was DIABOLICAL it makes you question why she even won so many Best Actress Awards. But most importantly, the director and showrunners did her dirty because they should have been honest with her that the performance wasnt it!
