Betty Gilpin Drops Fiery Take On 'Widow's Bay' and the State of TV

Hi, hello. Have I mentioned how great Widow’s Bay is this week? Let me do that now: It’s great! One of the highlights of the show is Betty Gilpin’s performance as the tortured second wife of the town’s protector in a haunting flashback episode. She’s dynamite, and she had a dynamite time filming the show, which landed her an Emmy nom for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. But don’t take my word for it. Here’s a delightful and fiery interview where Gilpin praises Widow’s Bay as a kick in the teeth to everything wrong with TV today. You might need a cigarette after this one. (IndieWire)

After realizing that she had only watched the 1995 adaptation, wicherwill read Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. “I think that Emma Thompson deserves a second Oscar, for Best Original Screenplay, because the movie is both a brilliant adaptation of a flawed source and essentially an entirely different story.” Is there a movie that you think is better than the book?
