Jodie Foster is a terrible actress in this.

Jodie Foster has 82 acting credits to her name since 1969. Three of them were things exactly right for her, (Taxi Driver, The Accused, Silence Of The Lambs) and she was transcendent in them. The rest of her career has been virtually meaningless compared to those three films.

She was great as the cold-hearted fixer in “Inside Man”, although it was more like a special appearance

Anyone could have been generic science person.

e: every time I bring this up people start trying to make out I think she's terrible or something. She has the capacity for greatness, but rarely gets to be great.

I just remembered I watched the movie Galveston which was also written by Pizzalotto and took place on the Gulf Coast in the town I grew up in

It sucked rear end, thank goodness they got Issa on board for this season of TD

I remember walking away from that movie thinking, "What was even the point of Jodie Foster's character?"

She had a movie called Tigers Are Not Afraid that was one of those movies you watch cuz it's got like a 99% on rotten tomatoes but then it goes on for 40 minutes too long and your wife falls asleep and there's too much Mexican Magical Realism so you just switch the input to RDR2 and start stabbing people in Valentine then jerk off and go to bed.

Tigers Are Not Afraid is a really good horror movie carried almost entirely by child actors. I would say the movie that comes closest to it in tone is "The Devil's Backbone"

Tigers left a much more lasting impression on me than 95% of films. it is brilliant, hosed up and beautiful. To me, Issa Lopez gets the benefit of the doubt on this show

Okay, look, I’m just going to say it. Jodie Foster sleeping around with men is the least believable thing ever. I think she’s doing a serviceable job in this show except any interaction with a man that’s supposed to be sexual in any way. They’re all cringeworthy. The one sex scene was laughably bad.

Whoever cast her in this role was an idiot because it was obvious that it wouldn’t work.

I think you'll find she's a challenging, energetic, fresh new voice. Now more than ever it's time for Women of Color Behind The Camera telling intriguing stories and challenging the status quo. No one else could have done Dark Twisted Suspensful Cop Show quite like Issa Lopez.

I think she's a visionary. There's no imagery more pro-female than a pile of exposed dead weiners, and the dance homage to Napoleon Dynamite was inspired.

I can't believe they spent whatever amount of money is required to get Jodie Foster to do this, and didn't get a better script than this. This show feels like a fan-directed mish-mash of famous horror movies with waaay too many references to season 1.
