It's been long enough since I watched this that I've got the general outline in my head, but the details are still a little surprising after passing through the fog of my terrible memory. The tension in the first episode holds up even knowing what's coming, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. What really got me was how strongly Dancy holds his own. He's overshadowed by Mikkelson, sure, but Mads is playing the character the show is named for - it's not hard to be a dominant presence when literally every factor on the screen is oriented around your part. But Dancy goes really hard into this character and commits. He is a gross weirdo possessed by disturbing mental episodes, but he's really trying. One of the things that stood out to me is his facial performance. In keeping with what we're told outright about his thing about eye contact, Dancy isn't going crazy with his eyes, but he does do a lot of work with his jaw, clenching and grinding his teeth, working it around while he thinks, and so on. It's maybe a little on the nose for the cannibalism show, but I still really enjoyed it.
