Playing Carolyn has also been controversial by Sarah Pidgeon attitude towards his role. He has spoken on the subject earlier this month For The New York Times. On the one hand, the opportunity to play an iconic character was exciting. On the other hand, there was a responsibility, even a heavy one. Pidgeon received his share of negative attention. The shooting of the series was still in progress, when social media went wild with the pictures published from the shooting. Pidgeon’s appearance was derided as a cheap version of its prototype.
