Tenant does such a good job with the role that I legitimately had a hard time watching him as other characters for a while after. Kilgrave is so fucking vile on so many levels, but is still a fully fleshed out awful character by the end, and Tenant absolutely nails it.
I think my favorite episode was the ‘kilgrave tries to be a hero.’ Like, there were so many perspectives that could be taken, and all of them had valid points. They did a good job with it. It also… did have a dark comedy/joke to it. The exasperation of the two main characters as he struggles through the hostage scene was humorous.

It’s a ridiculously good performance and I think it really shocked a lot of people who only knew him from Doctor Who.
I’ve always said that it takes a genuinely good person to play a truly repugnant villain, and by all accounts that’s Tennant through and through.
Totally the same. Between this and him as Crowley in good omens I have a hard time seeing him as anything but these 2 characters.
