Lol no she’s evil bruh. She literally delved into evilness in season 2. She was more innocent in season one but her dark path began to develop at the end of season 1

Mariah Dillard is a villian I root for. She is for the greater good by any means

Uhh killing innocent people and burning a man and shooting him is not evil. Yeah sure! She played that part well though. Love Alfre.

I would always remember when she and Kathy Bates played on a family that prays.
