Susan Heyward ( Deena Pilgrim)


Am I the only person who finds her constant unnecessary F bombs to be annoying? I mean I don't mind hearing the word but she keeps dropping them out of no where for no reasons. Her acting is so cringe worthy I hope her character dies .

I have to agree with you there, ive just started watching this series but find her so unbearable to watch, she's a *beep* character and an even worse actress. Just when im getting to enjoy an episode she comes along and nearly ruins it all. No wonder its at 6.9

reply

She is a terrible actress. This is a terrible show with terrible effects and terrible acting. Having said that, she's the least skilled actor.

Makes you wonder how she landed the part.

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people post, I just watch their avatars.

She really is awful.

She seems incapable of doing nuance. Her delivery is either flat and wooden like she is reading off a cue card or it's eyes bugged out and face twitching over-the-top pantomime.

Compared to the actress playing Calista, she is the queen of actresses. That girl is really awful.

She actually ruins the show for me. I really do enjoy the show, and then she pops in and ruins it for me. I just recently watched the scene where blood spurts into her mouth. I got so irritated with her acting that I had to come on here and comment. Don't get me wrong that isn't the worst scene. But It's really irritating me. I would hope that her character dies off too. Could be such a better show without her.

reply

The blood spurting into her mouth is a possible plot device to make her a Power.

They stabbed her sex buddy, but not her. :)

Yes she should be killed of very fast. She's the worst actor on the show. I do like Powers even though it has a lot of flaws but the casting of Susan Heyward I don't understand at all. Why did they even cast a black chick for it? Isn't the comic character Deena Pilgrim some white girl? Or are the creators scared of being called a racist because of a lack of black actors? So if you do choose to cast for this reasons then at least make sure the woman can act because she clearly can't. No one wins here. I can imagine other black actors will think that too. Just making it harder for the rest of them.

reply

I'm pretty sure her character is a combination of both of Walker's partners from the comics, one of whom (Enki Sunrise) is black. So her being black is not an issue for me. My only problem is that she is a terrible actress.

reply

No me neither but if the creators thought well better have a black actor otherwise we get the pc community of cry babies on our back at least have an actor that can act. She failed to nail one single scene.

reply

I hated her, and most of the actors in this show, at first, because they're all overacting, but then I realized it's intentional. This show is meant to be campy and over the top, and she's just doing her part.

reply

I didn't care much about Pilgrim one way or another at first, but the more I watched her, the more I disliked her. She's just annoying. She contributes nothing. And her wildly inappropriate tiny shirts are really unbecoming of a police officer. They make it even harder for me to take her seriously.

reply

I hope you realize that she doesn't write her lines.
I appreciate that shows are cussing realistically. This show takes it too far and almost has to cuss in every single sentence. The writing is the problem here.
