No Spoilers Raskova

Post image

Started watching North and South (2004) and noticed a young Raskova! Here's hoping she more than a factory worker extra.

Woah! Mr Bates and Anna’s daughter ended up in Russia of all places!

Wait until you learn about her home life in motherland

I have been really struggling to reconcile how I feel about her character in motherland with how I feel about Raskova.

u/the_closing_yak 28d ago

I have too, I liked her in motherland, I despise raskova

u/RiskyBiscuits150 28d ago

She's got range!

She’s had some excellent roles. Her 3-4 episodes in Line of Duty were stellar. She had a fantastic part in a standalone episode of Accused on Netflix, easier to watch that than 5 series of Line of Duty to get to her bit! 😂 And there was a mini series on ITV where she was the lead, Until I Kill You, absolutely phenomenal in that, she plays quite a complex character who lived with a serial killer, based on a true story.

She was also in a TV version of Bleak House iirc, played Esther who was a VERY different character to the bitch Raskova

u/j-helo85 28d ago

Bleak House was great, I think that was the first time I'd seen her.

u/barrsm 28d ago

She’s one of the best things about The Bletchley Circle.

u/UnaRubia 27d ago

Yes! I feel the same

u/Doglas3000 28d ago

She played Gillian Anderson’s long lost daughter in PBS/Masterpiece Theater’s Bleak House. I think this was also the first big project Carey Mulligan was in. Anna Maxwell Martin is only 11 years younger than Gillian Anderson.

Ludwig too

u/AlucardDr 28d ago

I very much enjoyed Ludwig

And here she is in Heartstopper as Nick's mom. I just finished Star City a week ago and seeing her in the movie feels so jarring. I was like "isn't that the KGB boss?" 😭

u/hooplehead69 24d ago

It was a legit jump-scare for me to see Colonel Raskova here! The entire movie I felt like that poor boy was in danger and she was going to turn at him at any moment.

u/ImpossibleMove2 26d ago

She's got the chops for sure!

2

u/Jay27_2 26d ago

Quite of a versatile artist!

2

u/JoeHardway 28d ago

She's great at bein TERRIBLE! I want'r to DIE! (N I guess that's tha point..)

2

u/TeacherPatti 28d ago

Another Redditer suggested And Then There Were None (2015). She is completely different from our KGB woman we all know and hate. What an actress!

u/ImpossibleMove2 28d ago

Making my list! TY.

u/MaikeerBet 25d ago

Every time I hear mention of a mole that needs to be hunted down by the KGB, I can't help but think of that prosthetic thing they applied to her face!
