why is it that it looked like those actors were having fun, then the shot changed to ellen paige and it just killed the vibe. every single time.


She is miserable person. I really wish they would have cast someone else for Vanya/The White Violin. They nailed almost every other casting decision but hers.

Agreed.

Stick figure Paige has never seemed happy. In any role. In any interview. And now, even dancing. I looked up the graphic novel after the show and yea, Paige as such an oddball, nonsensical casting choice. Frankly, I don’t even think she’s a very good actress either.

Honestly, the "miserableness" kinda worked during the beginning. You genuinely got the impression she had a horrible life.

I agree though, that if she (Vanya) is to grow then Paige needs to grow as an actress.

That said, she didn't ruin the show for me at all. Season 1 was really good regardless and I'm looking forward to Season 2.

You hear about the horrors of typecasting... but there is a reason for it. You will note that Werner Herzog is not cast as the romantic lead. Though he has cheerfully spoofed his image with his voice over work in animation.

You cast Ellen Paige as a miserable *$(% because her resting bitch face is that of a miserable *$(%. She might be wonderful in person. She might be the life of the party. But she just exudes "I'm miserable and the world sucks" without saying a word.
