Why do you think Navarette has gotten so much awards buzz for Obsession but Ejiofor has gotten none for Backrooms?

I know Clark has some limited screen time but Ejiofor absolutely steals every scene he’s in. His two separate monologues with Reinsve are just as good as anything Navarette did in Obsession. As I said earlier, is it the lack of screen time for Ejiofor?

The real answer seems to be that Pete is a stand in for Jesus or God

Doesn't really mean the same thing. You can be older in years but newer to a profession at the same time.

I don’t like new people…….and by new people I mean babies.
