Honestly, Silver isn't really my type of character, I was just so fascinated by his slow evolution through S1-2 that it was probably the thing I was most into besides Flint's backstory and relationship with Miranda. I am spoiled for a thing at the end, and really want to keep watching to get to that, so I know I'll go back at some point.
ughhhhhh I feel so bad because I love Garai so much, but I was not really a fan of her Emma. I liked the production, but I felt like she was miscast. I'm a huge outlier though in that the Kate Beckinsale Emma is my favorite Emma. I agree that Mark Strong is too harsh for Knightley, but I love Mark Strong, and Beckinsale Emma was exactly harsh enough while the other Emmas aren't. But I'd be interested to know what you think of that Emma; I'm interested in all Emmas.
Have you ever seen the Daniel Deronda with Garai? I DO recommend that, but then again I think Daniel Deronda might be like, my favorite novel, so perhaps I'm biased. It's interesting because Gwendolyn Harleth and Emma Woodhouse on the surface aren't that different, so it seems weird I loved Garai as the former and not the latter, but I think Emma is tons more self aware than Gwendolyn, and that ability to self critique is so important to Emma and I didn't see it in Garai.
...that is probably way more of my opinions than you needed to know.
