What’s a strong Sevigny episode?


I would like to have a look.

Many. She's such a strong character.

S.2 E.3 Reunion

S.3 E.4 On Trial--best Nicki moment ever.

S.3 E.1 Block Party--another great Nicki moment

S.3 E.3 Prom Queen

S.3 E.10 Sacrament--This will tell you everything you need to know about Nicki. But it's huge so MAJOR SPOILER ALERT if you haven't seen the series.

That aint no etch-a-sketch. This is one doodle that can't be undid, homeskillet.

Lovely. I will watch those exact episodes. Thanks.

IIRC Season 3 Episode 9 was pretty good. I think it's the first time she's sees JJ and he asks her if she wants to see Cara Lynn.

Season 3 was really Nicki's season. she was great in episodes 6 and 7 now that I think about it. I think it all really hit the fan in ep 7.

I agree that Prom Queen and On Trial were among her best.

None: she acts like a hateful repugnant bitch pretty much every single moment she is on screen.

For a few minutes in Seasons 2-3 she becomes somewhat sympathetic when you see what complete perverts Roman and Alby are and how they must have abused her (in various ways) and caused her irreparable psychological damage, but she always reverts to being a spiteful selfish vengeful bitch all on her own merits.

The character of Nicolette Grant is a deeply troubled emotionally, and scarred from her upbringing in the EAB commune. She acts out because of this, lying, stealing, and backstabbing at every turn.

We're supposed to hate her most of the time, so Chloe Sevigny did an excellent job. She's a first class actor.

So, I disagree. Sevigny is the best actor on the show, and she has many great episodes.

Sevigny is a brilliant actress. I didn't actually realise it until I watched this show. Sevigny depicts the extent of conflicting emotions bubbling beneath the surface perfectly. I think season 3 is a time of genuine psychological turmoil for her character. A psychologist could have a field day studying it.
