Sandra Oh was annoying (Spoilers)

I cant stand Sandra Oh! The answer to all your questions is: She is a cokehead.

I did't find her that irrational, but yes, she was very annoying.

I'm having a hard time discerning if you're annoyed with Sandra Oh the actress, or the direction of her character. If it's the latter, then blame the director and writers.

Worst character ever. And what was all that eastern dramatic theme music when she appeared? This kind of music is mostly used before something unusually dramatic happens. I dont know maybe could be used on the scenes with the kid Charlie. Seeing her snorting coke with this music was so out of place. Her character was so unneccessary and out of place. She was okay at first but at one point it just went crazy. I almost felt like this character fell off to the show from some other story. It was just weird. I literally felt happy when she finally died.

I also think this was much worse than Sleepyhead. I guessed the killer on the first ten or twenty minutes. And found it very similar to Luther's last season, i suppose Luther was written later, but it was much better and it had fresh ideas. This one just went unneccesarily dramatic and lost its eccentricity every minute.

Sleepyhead was more interesting but even that wasn't handled sufficiently interesting. I think the show just needs some touches outside of miserable backstories.

Actually I think Luther is a successful version of this show. It is interesting, even though Thorne as a character is a good one Luther on Luther is even better and it's other characters are much more interesting, not to mention its legendary character Alice Morgan. And it manages to import interesting ideas to itself successfully with intriguing stories. Maybe this comparison shouldn't be made, and at some point i wasn't willing to do that but Thorne is much more similar to Luther than i thought, so i think this is fair.

I was cheering for her to get shot as well, which is quite unusual for me.

wasnt this whole storyline misogynistic? the sole cop woman is a temptress, a sex doll, a coke head, and irrational, the other woman is a motherly boss.
cliches all over, and so is the serial killer with the dual personality killing gay men.

Her character was definitely a contender for Worst Cop Ever. Casting Sandra Oh in that role was a huge mistake. Her accent was just horrible. There are so many other actresses who could have done that so much better!

As for the character's behavior with Palmer, I think she went alone with the intention of killing him to prevent him from testifying about her behavior (she badgered him, left the door unlocked, sent the other cop off for coffee, nicked into the bathroom to snort coke, and then proceeded to start whaling on the guy in the back of the car). Had she been trying to redeem herself and her career by capturing him, she wouldn't have signed out a weapon from the evidence locker.Hhe did this after days of no sleep, lots of coke, a hell of a whack from the car wreck, and the panic of having been found out by Thorne, so it's pretty safe to say that chick was not in her right mind. My only problem with her death was the fact that it was blamed on Thorne. Yeah, I know he's the Tortured Hero (TM), but it was really heavy-handed.

I agree with all your points except for her acting - she's a good actress, but her character and lines were awful.

David Morrissey was awful - bad lines, bad acting, passable character. I mean, the guy was just cringe to watch.

The scene in the bathroom made no sense. She tries to get out of the apartment and couldn't - if she were trying to avoid alerting him, why return to the room? Oh yea, to get her jacket. WTF!

When she knew she was found out, why run to the bathroom where it'll be harder to escape. If anything, bust out through the front door.

I couldn't fault her acting because that was the script.

She was clearly made to be despicable so as to make her death less "tragic".
