I mean it in the way of an actor who truly loves the craft, who has a keen observation of people and works to find the humanity and specific vulnerability in all of his characters . The first half of the show I was reminded of Taxi Driver, the way DeNiro truly went into the mind of a lonely man who constructs his own framework to get through a crazy and sometimes cruel world. ... full review
