He’s threatening in a way that Anthony Hopkins never could be (and to be fair, in a way he never tried to be). He’s physically imposing to go with the mental acuity. Absolutely superb.
Hopkins is fantastic in the role, and deserves the plaudits, but like you, I feel like Mikkelson inhabited the role like nobody else has.
First two episodes are absolutely superb. Brilliant hook.
