Character biography
[edit]Reception
[edit]John Nugent, writing for Empire, praised Dano's performance as "chilling", and described the character as a "bespectacled terrorist of the Trump era, driven by an incel’s misplaced sense of injustice and a love of fiendish puzzles. (And latte foam art.)"[2] Writing in The Atlantic, David Sims also praised Dano's performance, describing it as "appreciably squirmy and unpredictable, switching from singsong nerdiness to guttural rage in an instant."[3]
