I asked my boyfriend in Canada once, how he deals with polar bears because I was curious about what to do and he was like, just be calm, let them know youâre there, and give them space and theyâll usually just go away.Â
âItâs like Thorâs meeting his hero. Heâs absolutely smitten by her, and because of her history being Valkyrie and all that. But sheâs also this beautiful woman, so heâs kind of caught off guard. She could have him if she wanted. I think he hasnât come up against that very often.â – Chris Hemsworth
Can I geek out about K.J. Harper for a second? I have to admit, in her first appearance I wondered âWhat the hell kind of show is this?â when she was shown to be a lush and daytime drinker whose job performance was suffering for her habit. I wasnât used to women characters being presented this way, especially Black women professionals.
Then the more I got into the show the more I understood her, though Iâm only on Episode 3 so Iâm sure thereâs more to come. Itâs a timely and necessary portrayal, too, with mental health and substance abuse being a problem in the legal profession. PTSD among professionals who deal with the suffering of others, from EMTs to reporters, is an underappreciated epidemic as well.
And the layers on this woman, just wow. You get a glimpse of her brilliance and passion behind the burnout and the cynicism, the up-and-coming prosecutor she must have been before the work got to her, and then you can see the trauma slam down behind her eyes and itâs in the way she talks, in the way she canât make eye contact all of a sudden⌠Clare-Hope Ashiteyâs performance is a standout here and I am riveted.
K.J.!!!! You brilliant, brave, batshit bitch, I LOVE YOU
