Featured review
A Master Class in the Art of the Comic Reaction
One can quibble about the possibly overdrawn nature of the character of Bibby (although not the performance by Robert S. Powell, which is as true to the character as an actor can be). But from the first time Brian Tyree Henry appears in this series as Paper Boi I could see there was a serious comic talent on the screen, particularly in one particular . And that talent is brought to the forefront with this episode. Henry gives us a master class in the brilliance of the deadpan comic reaction to surrounding madness, that at times reaches heights only rivaled by comic geniuses like Oliver Hardy and Alan Arkin. I won't spoil for the reader the nature of what the character of Paper Boi goes through in this episode, but I will say that it is an utter treat to see what Henry does with his role here. Just brilliant.
