It’s Cate’s first moment this season that’s truly commensurate with actor Anna Sawai’s talent. She has an easy, convincing sexual chemistry with her ex. Her the world is ending, might as well party bravado curdles into open self-loathing in an admirably ugly way. Just from the bottomed-out way she looks at the ruins of the bridge where she lost so many children to Godzilla, she makes the emotional cost of living in a world overrun with monsters feel real to us. Of course, it isn’t hard to relate to a woman living in world overrun with monsters these days.
I reviewed this week’s episode of Monarch for Decider.
