THE ALIENIST Season 1 Episode 8
Babe the day we all stop sticking pins in our Will Graham dolls is the day this hellsite anoints your successor for Torture Victim (Most Beloved). And on that day, Hugh Dancy, you’ll know. It will be as though the weight of a 1000 flower crowns drops away from your head. There’ll be a whisper on the breeze. “We’ll always love you,” it seems to say, sadly. One day soon after that, someone will tell you they’re a huge fan of your current work. Months will go without you hearing or reading the words season 4. The intensity will fade.
