One of the Best Series Ever - Writing, Casting, the Works! Season 5 is Awesome!

No spoilers here, but I had to write: I was not thrilled with how season 4 ended (and fans of the show can guess why), even though it was necessary. I was even doubtful about the casting of Rihanna in season 5. I should have known the writers and actors of this show would make the final season as engrossing and amazing as possible. Vera Farmiga is incomparable, Freddie Highmore is perfectly cast as well, and every supporting character makes the show what it is: Brilliant. Kudos to Rihanna for giving a believable, solid, and amazing performance in the role Janet Leigh made famous. Five stars, guys!

Highmore is insanely talented (pun intended). I hope he gets more roles after this performance.

I agree! Highmore was perfectly cast. He has an amazing range, and doing the emotionally-charged scenes he has over and again has got to be draining. I don't think there's a weak link at all regarding the cast. I can't imagine the show without Carbonell, either. He was the perfect choice for Romero.

Freddie is amazing and outstanding. Vera is a goddess! She is so talented as Norma, I love her so much.
