If they don't both take home an Emmy for something this year, I may have to riot.

[all_that_glitters]

This lady deserves an Oscar for her performance

[tassymccormick]

She did a fantastic job with the Martha character.

Jess's charisma is so stunning. I wonder what will be her next project, apart from The outlaws

[kpsphoto]

Baby reindeer’s Martha is as creepy as Misery’s Annie. Amazing performance😱

[cwayzums]

I think the reason Jessica auditioned for the role 4 times is because she probably scared Richard the first time with just how triggering her acting was and brought Martha back to him. Nobody can do this like she did. What a talent. I’m glad she hit it big now.

She's so gorgeous. I love thay outfit!

[GrownKidz]

She's so pretty! I love that she can play so crazy and "off" . an amazing actress! Now if they did a Misery remake, I'd LOVE to see her play Annie.

[vipfzoz]

I love her! I think I would watch anything with her in it, she has loads of character and talent.

[RWRogers]

She’s been so loyal to him and his name since some of the backlash came out. I think the chemistry between them is great both on the show and off. Together they’re a creative force.

[TicTocRobotSnot]

I thought his old comedy routines on YouTube were better than what he portrayed in the show. He has a vaudeville vibe, and he’s quite good at physical comedy.

[MeanEileen]

I’m glad Laura Wray came forward. I think it further exposes the dangers of stalking and the dangerous person FH is.

[mirebell]

I Hope This tragedy leeds to more efficient laws on stalking
I have been stalked for a long time and it has destroyed my life and my health

[markwegner]

When Richard looks and nods, when he offers the free tea ☕ and sees her response, the world 🌍 knew him.

[jod]

Having never met the real Martha Jessica hit every mannerism on the head....she was amazing!

[tanyabeckman]

Hoping they get lots of awards for this one!!

[The_Red_Pill__]

They are both incredibly talented. They did an amazing job with this series. Bravo! 👏👏👏

[EvieVermont]

The whole idea is fascinating. To be stalked is horrifying. Happy this guy is able to benefit from being the victim. Most don’t. But sending it out there is a good thing; people can learn from this.

[luulu]

Jessica is a stunner and a brilliant performer I can’t get the movie out of my head 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾great writing too

[gagaboy]

really love Jessica she really brought this role alive
