seriously, sickness and HBO. it's a trend.

When I finally saw the 2011 Jane Eyre a few weeks ago, it reminded me of how awesome Mia Wasikowska is, so I ended up re-downloading all of the Sophie episodes of In Treatment (which is a fantastic show; damn fine acting and writing across the board). I watched the first season proper back in 2008, so I felt I could get away with just watching one character's sessions.

Anyway, I just watched all of said episodes back to back, and damn, I'd forgotten how fucking phenomenal she is. I think she was, what, 19 at the time? And it's even more impressive now that I've seen her in other things; she played a sixteen-year-old Olympic-hopeful gymnast to the hilt, and just as impeccably as she played a 19th-century orphaned Scottish governess.

NGL, I cried a lot this time through. Sophie is such a brilliant character.

God, IN TREATMENT was SO GOOD. I keep wanting to rewatch it but I'm kind of afraid it will TEAR MY HEART OUT AND STOMP ON IT again, and I am not sure I have the emotional wherewithal to handle that.

It was! I only ever saw the first season, so I'm thinking now may be a good time to watch the second and third. It is kind of heart-stompy, but in a really delicious way. :)
