disparity in acting (Olivia Hallinan) from episode one to episode two ??

I was very pleased with the first episode and everything confirmed it was well worth watching. Composed acting of Olivia Hallinan is completely different in next episode. She is constantly nodding her head, euphoria suited barely for theater, and a very bad one at that. She is constantly gesticulating while talking, for life of me; I’m not sure how is such difference possible, and not detected by director?

I really wanted to continue watching, but now I fear this would spoil any further enjoyment. Does her acting becomes stable in later episodes like in pilot, or remains the same?

It varies from episode to episode and scene to scene. But in the last 2 seasons it gets rarer imo.

The other actors however seem to get a lot more relaxed in their roles, and it brings out the quality of the programme.

I found her to be awful and quite unlikeable.
