Amy Acker is not good. She was never good. Quality is something different. But not her acting.
Only bothering to watch this for Amy Acker.
Amy Acker makes any show worth watching. She’s such a good actress deserving of all the critical praises she’s received for Root, Fred, Illyria, Beatrice et al. Can’t wait to watch her next character creation. Loved Root.
Just for Amy Acker
Amy Acker is a fantastic actress and it’s a pity she’s being wasted on these type of roles after her incredible run on Person of Interest.
Amy Acker is as flat as a pancake and scrawny. Not beautiful and a terrible actress.
Amy Acker’s haters are so pathetic and lack any creativity. lmao what a bunch of losers
Have you heard a new awesome joke?
An Amy Acker hater walked out of a bar and never came back. ’cause an average Amy Acker hater is so dumb he can’t come up with good comeback.
She probably won’t be in the promo for the episode too. Well, what else we can expect from CBS? They don’t respect Acker at all it was obvious during the run of Persno of internest
