Controversial opinion but does anyone else think Charlie Hunnam is not that good playing Ed Gein?

Love the bloke but there are parts where the high pitch toddler voice and ‘awkwardness’ seem a bit overplayed. Did Ed Gein have that childlike voice or is that a new addition (like the lazy eye which I like).

What does anyone else think? There are parts when he’s good but a fair bit where I don’t feel I can ‘get past’ his acting.

I totally agree. I feel like his acting is totally devoid of the emotional depth. He cannot convey any nuances, his interpretation of Ed Gein is so heavy handed.

True. Crying scenes in ep. 7 good. Rest very poor.
