The acting of the guy who plays the serial killer mom


is just terrible. Been watching this on Fearnet on demand and liking it, but that guy's horrible performance really drags the show down. I believe he is one of the writers and creators of the show, so good work there, but stay behind the camera!

I can't imagine where you're coming from with this. Shearsmith is a genius, as a writer and actor. He's created and played dozens of characters over the years, and has won awards for doing so.

The OP is obviously a troll. I have never laughed so hard in my life watching the sequence with mother and son in season 1, ep 4.

My favorite was in Season 2, at the dinner, when mother has a few drinks and wants to do her Tina Turner. I howled. But yes, whole thing was great. I've had my fingers crossed for a third series, but...you never know with Brit TV. It could never happen or come out five years from now.

if you lived in the uk you wouldn't think that as sheersmith portrayal of Maureen has so many characteristics spot on.
