Awesome. Turned in for Sigourney. And there I found Alycia Debnam-Carey and Frankie Adams two more recent favorites as well. This cast is gold. The kid is doing good work too.

The ending of the season hits home more then I thought a tv series could. Its Like listening to an experienced domestic violence therapist/counsellor give you permission to lose any feelings of guilt, guilt for staying, guilt for not reporting the abuse, guilt towards your children for making choices they had to live with,,you may have convinced yourself they didn’t experience or witness any abuse, but you are their mother they feel when you hurt. It was hard to watch at times but I really enjoyed it

I'm glad, very happy, her hair is long again. She's so beautiful like that. And rejuvenates. The most perfect was the curly hair of 79. Unforgettable. Sweet.

Loved her in this show! Sure her accent wasnt perfect, shes a woman in her 70s who has never done a aussie accent and had to learn in a short time, well done her! Especially considering the aussie accent is actually really hard. Besides the accent though, her acting was SUPERB! I mean WOW , I was an emotional wreck on the last ep. You will find in thid interview shes had more time learning the accent , but in the show she had a smaller amount of time. Either way, Sigourney Ellen Ripley Weaver, I take my hat off to ya! ❤

Bruh, Ms. Weaver has gotten so much older, she was my old favorite actress. I didn't know that she's got an accent voice.

She sounds like an expat American in the show, definitely not a born-and-bred Australian.

Exactly, I kept waiting for an explanation to her accent and it never came, then she said the farm was started by a great grandmother or something and I was like "what?, she's supposed to be like a 3rd/4th gen Australian?". I love her but I couldn't buy her accent...

@Chartail1 4 ай бұрын

The Aussie accent is one of the hardest accents to do apparently, people either sound brittish or scottish or south African or whatever, listened to a accent specialist and she said the aussie one is one of the hardest. Sigourney is now in her 70s and has played majority of American roles and maybe one or two brittish roles, so it was gonna be hard for her to get the accent perfect, either way her acting was incredible!

Is it just me or did she put on an accent for the interview?

@jaxr2958 8 ай бұрын

Making the effort to pronounce Australia like a locals is classy move. Did seem to be doing that Aussie thing finishing her sentences with a questioning tone a couple of times. Might be she's a bit of a mimic, I've seen Aussies start an interview full Aussie and pick up an American or British inflection by the end.

@AllGreyEverything 8 ай бұрын

She's definitely doing a bit of an accent. Weirdly, I think it's actually more Aussie than it is in the series.

@Chartail1 4 ай бұрын

@AllGreyEverything probably because after the series was complete she then got the hang of the accent, but during it , it was still eaely days, its a hard accent to do.

@scottcraft8227 8 ай бұрын

Weaver's Australian accent is absolutely awful. Her acting performance was fine but she then butchered the role with a half baked accent that sounded American most of the time and who knows what at other times. It was anything but Australian. At first I thought she was supposed to be an American expat living in Australia. She really should have worked with an accent coach.

@AnointedFlow 7 ай бұрын

Thank you! Someone else telling the truth. Her accent was not even noticeable for real. I heard it a few times and was like, REALLY? She's supposed to be Australian?

@theholidaylady1 7 ай бұрын

I didn't want to insult her by saying anything about her accent however, I'm amazed that they went with her rendition of an Aussie accent. I think if you can't do the accent, then just use your own. I am aware that I am watching a film and not watching reality every time she talks. Other than that, she is a great actress and movie star and I really love that she's playing her age without a facelift. That takes a lot of self esteem in this day and age for actors. Good for her. Despite the accent, I'm still glad that she is in the show. I'm sure interested to learn more about her character and see what happens in the end.

@Chartail1 4 ай бұрын

Remember shes in her 70s, and has played mainly american with maybe one or two brittish roles, other than that shes had the same accent all her life, so for a woman in her 70s learning the accent in a short period of time, she did a great job For me as the episodes kept going her accent got better, but her acting was superb, I stopped noticing the accent due to her acting being amazing. In the end a woman in her 70s trying for the first time a aussie accent which is actually a super hard accent to do, she did great.
