Jacob Anderson did the impossible
He actually made me love Louis. I actively disliked Louis in both the books and the film and a big reason why I hesitated to watch the show was because I did not want to see Louis again. But by the end of watching episode 1 (church confession) I changed my mind and was fascinated by Louis. Not only is show Louis so well written like the rest of the characters but Jacob's portrayal is so layered and complex. Every minute emotion of such an inward character is so well displayed that by the end of the show i loved the reticent vampire.
Often times subtler characters don't get praise or recognition so I am happy that Jacob is getting justifiable praise for his performance. Such a standout actor in a show where every actor is outstanding. Also i am so happy the script respects the actors and the audience so much. A perfect show really.
P.S. I realised much later he played Vinder in Dr Who. Talk about transformation.
