Rec. #420: Sheryl Lee Ralph in One Mississippi



What: One Mississippi is an excellent series and I am VERY disappointed about its cancellation. VERY.

There's a lot to love and admire about the show (we'll get to Tig Notaro and the Louis C.K. episode and the songburst from Fun Home at some point), but at the moment I want to highlight the work Sheryl Lee Ralph did during season 2 as Bill's new love interest.

The character could have slipped into brittle iciness or flattened out the energy of a scene, but instead she was vibrant and precise and entirely believable. Three cheers for Felicia Hollingsworth.

How to get it: Seasons 1 and 2 are streaming on Amazon. There apparently won't be a Season 3 because Amazon makes poor choices.
