| Noma is the *only* person in that show who deserves a nomination (I am continually baffled by the awards love for Kidman and Grant, who were fine considering what they were given), and indeed, she should have been the star of the show (as in, make the show about her, not these oblivious, banal rich people). Her zinger about hiding the knives was the high point of a very disappointing series. | |

| I don't actually remember the line you mentioned. I remember her saying something about Grant having not hidden the sledgehammer. Is that what you meant, or is there something I'm forgetting? (I binged the series rather quickly, so it's very possible I missed something.) I wish the show had leaned more into the issues of privilege that it only occasionally seemed to recognize--and then out of a clear sense of having to do so. But I thought Kidman and especially Grant were great. |

| Oh, right, it's a sledgehammer, which I'm misremembering as a knife. But yes, it's the scene when Nicole testifies, and Grant realizes that she's betrayed him, and then Halie (who is the best character) snaps at him that he's going down because he couldn't throw away the murder weapon... she just says that line so perfectly, with such a delicate moral balance. In that one moment, she gives us a character richer and more compelling than anything else we've seen. | |
