AIBU to say Keeley Hawes is a really really good actress/tor?

[Atalantea]

Watched in Ashes to Ashes, and the Bodyguard

I'm now rewatching Line of Duty from the start (now on Season 2) and i think she is so different. Not one of those actors that always play the same kind of character, I didnt even realise it was her at first

I think she's brilliant!

She’s brilliant and, as you said, so different in everything.

She's fantastic in pretty much everything she does!

Why would you be unreasonable to say someone is a good actress?

I love watching stuff she’s in. So convincing and engaging as an actress.

Getting a bit sick of seeing her in everything tbh, despite her being a good actress.

It’s a Sin. So good - but due to the whole cast, not just her.

I hated Finding Alice and the Durrells but she is lovely. Would like to see her in something faster paced

I'm not sure what else i would have seen her in, i havent seen the Durrells or its a sin (will have to watch that)

just watching her in LOD - amazing

She is just amazing in Line of Duty.

spoilers for previous seasons of LOD below

Had me rooting for her in some scenes and then seconds later properly gasping at how evil and conniving she could be. Lynsey Denton is SUCH a good character and she was obviously having the time of her life playing her. The scene where she asks steve what will happen to her cat when she gets arrested had me in tears. Women actors over 35 must explode with joy when they get to play complicated characters like that.

And Spooks! She’s bloody brilliant in everything.

Yes, absolutely brilliant. I think I first remember her from Tipping the Velvet and thinking what a clever actress she is. Never tire of seeing her because she plays each part so differently.

I'm watching Line of Duty for the first time. She is amazing in it.

It’s a sin. She really comes into it towards the end. Amazing

I like her. She was great in Honour

She was excellent in Spooks as well.

I agree I never recognise her as she is always so different in each programme I've seen her in. First saw her on The Bodyguard and when I watched Line of Duty I only realised it was her when I Googled her name. Then when I watched Its A Sin I didn't recognise her until I saw her name on the credits.

She was great in The Missing.

Oh I love her! First saw her in Wives & Daughters, then Under the Greenwood Tree, and Tipping the Velvet (costume drama junky).

I recently watched the Durrells and after taking a while to get into it I really enjoyed it. She was brilliant in it, as always really.

I thought she was great in Finding Alice too

Saw her in For Olivia with Hugh Bonniville as Patricia Neal and Roald Dahl. She was brilliant.

I was thinking exactly this yesterday after starting to rewatch LOD in advance of starting series 6. She’s everywhere but not too much as so versatile, no risk of getting typecast in period dramas even though she’s great in those too.

She was great in Spooks. I've rewatched them on BBC iPlayer over lockdown.

She's great! I especially loved her in The Durrells but I thought all the actors were brilliant in that.

Tipping the Velvet also. YANBU
