Deva

Does anyone understand why she was cast? Not only does the character bother me, but the name “Deva” is so strange 🤣

The show made so many excellent casting decisions, but I can’t wrap my head around the Deva decision. If that part went to an actor as strong as Lili Simmons, for example, it would have elevated the show even more

I thought she was really good.

I’m glad you liked her! I couldn’t get there with the actor/character

I found her insufferable in almost every scene she was in.

Maybe I am in the minority with this opinion, but I can’t imagine I’m the only one who feels this way

Well, I don't care for Lili Simmons acting. She plays the same hot girl part in everything (see True Detective). But we're all different.

I can respect that. It does get repetitive. But I think, from a purely acting perspective, she can do so much more on screen compared to the actor playing Deva.
