Michelle Gomez is brilliant
She’s great in Green Wing, Doctor Who, Doom Patrol etc
MasqureMan t1_j2dxzpk wrote
I haven’t even started Doom Patrol yet, but I loved her in Sabrina. She’s the kind of actress that commands the screen regardless of the context

Is it just me or do women get picked way more often for this Internet honor?

Why is this being downvoted? It’s directly from the article.
RitoRvolto t1_j2e1esz wrote
Some people don't like these performer of the week articles, the concept of it.
I completely disagree with that however.
Throwaway1303033042 t1_j2e1ud1 wrote
I don’t really have any thoughts one way or the other on the list, but I would gladly pay to watch Michelle Gomez read a phone book.

Doom Patrol is such a crazy weird show, and Michelle Gomez fits right in. She's always brilliant, but she just knocked it out of the park with her scenes in this week's episode with young Rita.
My honorable mention would be Diane Guerrero, who consistently amazes as Crazy Jane!
Gonzostewie t1_j2e3v1p wrote
It's a weird surreal fever dream of a show. It is hilarious and gross and bizarre. I love it.
LupinThe8th t1_j2e6hxq wrote
Also the best incarnation of The Master in Doctor Who since Roger Delgado's original in the 70s.
You can tell she's having an absolute blast, managing to be both incredibly funny and surprisingly scary.
LyingCaterpillar t1_j2e9d59 wrote
She was the best part of Sabrina. Once her character became meaningless the show lost most of its magic.
LyingCaterpillar t1_j2e9gz9 wrote

Deserved! That scene where she apologized to Rita was amazing

maybe men should just act better
yodimboi t1_j2ecc5i wrote
I really hope that this gets an ending somehow. Although, judging by the titles, I'd say they're prepared to give the show an ending if they don't survive past season 4. A similar thing seems to be happening with Titans.

Ill throw an extra upvote for Wendell Pierce, went to Death of a Salesman last night and he was phenomenal.
DanimalHouse t1_j2ee6jo wrote
And despite what people thought of the show as a whole, she was brilliant in Sabrina.
thebetabruh t1_j2ef4et wrote
the addition of Michelle Gomez to any show elevates it
tcbysprinkles t1_j2efna3 wrote
I LOVED adventures of Sabrina. She was very sexy and powerful in it. Great representation of Lilith.
ceaguila84 t1_j2egp1x wrote
Last season was okay for me but this one is really good again.
She's great!
Loki-Holmes t1_j2egxul wrote
She’s also a great example of the fact that the doctor being female is as not the problem with the the current run like some people like to say (Either that it sucks becaue she’s female or that people only hate it because she is). Missy was done very well and made sense and was much better accepted. Chibnall’s master and doctor on the other hand were not very good iterations and pretty much everything he’s done has been mediocre.
atomlinson89 t1_j2eixcn wrote
Was also fantastic in the Flight Attendant. Agreed on the Sabrina love.
Scoob1978 t1_j2ejpqo wrote
She carried Sabrina in the early seasons
Scoob1978 t1_j2ekaoa wrote
I love Doom Patrol but it's not for everyone. It's like a live action Invader Zim type show but weirder and much more violent. The characters are all deeply flawed but likable.
crazybunnylady2369 t1_j2el22w wrote
I believe 4 is the last season. They knew that going in so it should have an ending.
jfstompers t1_j2eleih wrote
Great job in The Flight Attendant too. She's just really good.
raysofdavies t1_j2emgib wrote
“I’m Doctor Who, and these are my assistants, exposition and comic relief.”
That two-parter and the triumvirate between her Missy, Twelve and Simm’s Master is the pinnacle of the show’s entire history.
Nightshade238 t1_j2emi97 wrote
Lmao if that's the case then we all look like paintings.
tcbysprinkles t1_j2en6i9 wrote
I totally forgot about flight attendant! Loved her in that too
PM_ME_CAKE t1_j2engp3 wrote
They've also been planning four seasons for quite a while, you can feel it's been building to this. Look forward to it ending on a high, especially since most plots have indicators for where they'll end (eg Jane and Shelley, Larry and Mr 104, etc).
E: Typo.
Labrat5944 t1_j2enic0 wrote
She carried Sabrina in every season tbh.
Songhunter t1_j2eplnp wrote
She was an absolute beast in Doctor Who, chewing through the scenes with effortless ease. I really miss her version of the Master, what a delight she was.
ohdearitsrichardiii t1_j2eq5sn wrote
The scene where she dances with the Daleks makes me smile just thinking about it. She's having so much fun it oozes off the screen and infects you

hollawewantprenup t1_j2eqwwr wrote
Her performance and character in Green Wing is unbelievably funny. The scene where she’s given herself really long fake arms has me dying with laughter every time
Dan_Of_Time t1_j2esxxh wrote
The chemistry between all 3 was fantastic.
If there was one Doctor to deal with 2 Masters at once, it had to be Capaldi.
Even though he’s backed into his last corner he still delivers a brutal put down on the two of them that essentially destroys their entire reason for existing. It was beautifully criminal that The Doctor never knew that Missy was coming back to stand with him and the fact Chibnall brought them back after only 1 season was so subpar.

This woman can do no wrong in my eyes. I have adored every single character she has ever played. My favorite is probably when she portrayed The Master in Dr. Who. She’s such a great actress. Right up there withAnne Dowd who is hands down my all time favorite actress. Both of them are phenomenal at their craft.

I had a hard time stomaching Doom Patrol season 1.
Does it get better?
LyingCaterpillar t1_j2ez35s wrote
She does. From Botero.

I liked the show until the last season/ending…

PaxonGoat t1_j2f0l5x wrote
If you dont click with the weirdness of the first season you will never enjoy the show basically. Most people feel the first season is the best.
ComputerSong t1_j2f0r10 wrote
It was more like every time there was a scene with Brendan Frazier’s backstory, I wanted to throw the tv out the window.
PaxonGoat t1_j2f13sd wrote
I think this is the first time I have ever seen someone complain about seeing Brendan Frazier acting on reddit.
As Frazier himself said about the character, Cliff comes from a place of toxic masculinity. Who Cliff was as a human isn't supposed to be someone you like.
GoldGlitters t1_j2f1qv3 wrote
Yeah, I wanted to love the show, but it was a train wreck. In an avalanche. Falling off a mountain. On fire.
But Gomez was the best part and mostly why I kept watching far after I realized the show was not getting better.
chewiedies t1_j2f1zvr wrote
She was amazing in The Brink as well.
teh_fizz t1_j2f2cuw wrote
She’s great but Diane Guerrero is to me the best on Doom Patrol.
maheshvara_ t1_j2f2xnt wrote
Yep they wasted a very good actress on the role. I would have loved to see her handle a darker aspect. Maybe the unhinged valeyard.

Dnashotgun t1_j2f7t8n wrote
It's not officially confirmed but iirc the showrunner has said on twitter that they've planned for up to 4 seasons. It probably is going to get the axe after this season but at least most things should be fairly wrapped up by the end.

Doom Patrol completely embraces the silly side of comic books. I am surprised people don't talk about it more often.

I logged into HBO max for the first time in months yesterday, saw a new doom patrol episode, realized there were a few episodes out already, and danced a jig.
Segamaike t1_j2fmdwe wrote
I can never gush about Sue White enough, one of my all-time favorite comedic performances. And Green Wing is so niche, I would have never believed she’d be blowing up this much almost two decades on, but it makes me super happy!
here4here t1_j2fmotm wrote
Love love loved her as Missy in Dr Who
Segamaike t1_j2fmpr5 wrote
She’s been the best thing about the three shows I’ve seen her in; Green Wing, Doctor Who and Sabrina. I doubt that Doom Patrol is any different, as is confirmed by the article
AnyNamesLeftAnymore t1_j2fmyk3 wrote
She's just always a cool lady that plays a sassy character everyone loves to death lol.
She really reminds me of Patricia Quinn and I see similarities with their personalities.

I feel like they lost their footing (writer change?) once they killed off Dalton's character.
I'd love to see this series keep going, it's hands down the best and strangest DC based series there's been so far, it's the legion of DC (i love both - and coincidently ending too soon also).

She was perfect for Sabrina. Over the top acting in a somehow not completely cheesy way. She’s great.
