Then theres Ms.
FX
Preacher (Julie White) omniscient and threatening who is clearly part of something larger.
Their relationship is no more than cutesy exchanges and supportive declarations.
Most of the show meanders through a sort of suspenseful and broody atmospheric tension that feels forced and lazy.
But, were left with a dull thud boasting no more than phoned-in remnants of horror masterpieces from yesteryear.
Its been done, and its been done better.
All that being said, when Kim Kardashian appears on screen, something changes.
The overall dramatic drabness gives way to a sort of campy splendor.
Kardashian portrays Alcotts publicist and best friend, Siobhan Corbyn.
She dishes out unexpected and ruthless one-liners with a sense of nonchalance and apathy.
Shes givingKeeping Up With the Kardashiansmeets low-budget CW suspense story.
And, were sort of slurping it up like a Big Gulp delicious but lacking any substance.
Its exhausting being better than everyone, she says with a superior sigh.
Didnt your acting teacher tell you that signing cannot stand in for an emotion…oh wait.
Kim Kardashian is not a good actress.
Rather, the exact opposite.
She alternates between approximately three facial expressions and her tone is impressively one-note.
Is this how the character was written?
Or, is this all Kardashian is capable of?

Shes so emotionless that its refreshing up against the forced intensity akin to the others.
Shes so antithetical to those performing alongside her that she provides a needed reprieve from the DRAMATICS.
She keeps us waiting for the next ridiculous line that shell serve up cold.
Instead, the newest season is already striking a tonally incongruous and uninspired chord.
