I mean, could you possibly overact more than this woman. I am watching the fourth season, and she really spoils the show for me.

I don't think so. Wait till you come to the end. There is more to this character than you would expect. like all PoI characters.
Sure - Control has to be a figure that the viewers should hate, but unlike other shows, this is played by a middle-aged, overweighed woman. Perhaps you just don't like the optics? In fact she is much prettier in real life.

I think she's great: actually plays her character better than some of the actors playing bad guys there, even though her scenes are so few.

Remember her as Christina in Happiness? That's all I could think about when I saw her in POI.. her and that little Mexican doorman.

OP's opinion but for me she was fantastic while on. Control-Alt-Delete was one of the series best ( she was great in that ). That episode is really underrated now, mostly because people thought they would do another Devil Share style episode following Shaw's presumed demise in If-Then-Else. Instead they went more towards a "Relevance" style and more creative.

Well, I just watched the last episode of the show. I loved this show, and I must stay true to my original post. I really think that at least on POI, Camryn Manheim overacted in every single scene that she was in. It doesn't have anything to do with the way she looks. She seemed a little off, in my humble opinion. Exaggerated. Well, that's my opinion. Greetings to you all.

She has one character, but i'm okay with her.

Her character mysteriously disappeared.

I definitely didn't get that impression. We are talking about Control, right? She became one of my favorite characters when she made a turn to stop Samaritan.
