How is it possible? This guy is literally perfect.
He’s funny, he’s talented, he’s chill, he likes good music and musicals as well as movies, he is British, he is so adorable and of course handsome.
Maybe he’s also immortal, ‘cause he didn’t age at all since Narnia.

6:20. Listen. Okay. I have the same thoughts as him about having a random musical episode in a show that's not already a musical. It's like watching a dark murder plot in Glee, just doesn't fit.

[@CocoPopssss]

Honestly it’s so random when shows do it, most of the time it’s a total disaster and cringe fest.

[@caitlindaniels1999]

It instantly takes me out of any realistic reality the show has spent years creating when they do musical episodes. It's so jaring

YES! I want to thank him personally for saying it out loud! What's with American shows and their obsession with needless and cringe worthy musical episodes?

[@katiem4935]

Agreed! The only one where it worked well I think was in Once Upon A Time - because they purposely made it a bit tongue in cheek (where the dark one thought it was silly and the Queen was annoyed at everyone singing), but being fairytale characters it just fit the vibe so it worked

[@cnanden]

Ben’s Billy Russo is an acting triumph. He really needs to be able to bring that same nuance to Darkling, but it all comes down to the writing. Ben should really be in more work, and be given a hero with a darkness just to balance out his portfolio.

[@AnushkaBhattacharya710]

i had a crush on him when i was a kid and watched prince caspian. And then I saw him in Shadow and Bone and MAN has he aged like the finest of all wines. The weird thing is I also saw him in Westworld and both times, he is such a convincingly bad person that its hard to connect those charactors to this adorable, polite british man. Much respect to a person who is not just that good looking, but a really convincing actor and...a musician as well!

okay but- HE MAKES PLAYLISTS FOR CHARACTERS I CANT

[@cataryad661]

The Resistance (Muse - he called it “The Exogenesis album referring to 3 parts on the album) would be the perfect album for The Darkling. I would have never thought it until he said it, but thinking and running through it in my mind, it works perfectly. Undisclosed Desires is, in particular, a favourite, and works.

4:50 Kvass is actually a very famous Russian drink, it is a little bit like English dark porter beer, whit a strong taste of rye bread. It is not bitter like porter, more like a sweet drink and it is also much less alcoholic. Of course, I don't know if that was Leigh Bardugo thought kvass is, it is her fantasy world, but Russian kvass is awesome, give it a try.
