While i was watching ep 2 for no reason at all i got a flashback of Brad Pitt in Seven , now that would have been a great choice instead of Foster

Nah, they wanted somebody more masculine.

I watched s04ep01 for 30 minutes or so and found it off-putting, but was just waiting for Foster character saying "shieeeeeet" at some point. Did she do it yet?

I like her in the role, so far.

No, she's not miscast. But that heterosexual sex scene was unconvincing.

Her acting is so wooden, her nose grows when she lies in a film! :)

She overacts and reminds me of a grumpy garden gnome in too big police uniform. She's also very unconvincing as a maneater.

I don’t know about being miscast but I’m more surprised at how weak Fosters acting is in this series. She’s a very good actor yet her delivery is often weak in this

She always is.

Kali is a massive miscast. Jodi isn't the greatest choice either. I think two better leads could've really elevated this season.

Aww, I like Jodie Foster and think she's doing a great job! She kinda reminds me of Helen Hunt a little bit. In fact, at first I thought it WAS Helen Hunt.

She's fine. I can deal with her. The other girl doesn't seem like she's ever had any sort of acting lessons before.
