Showtime's The First Lady is full of bad impressions and two kissers that are going to keep me up at night.
for the role, though she still looks almost nothing like Eleanor Roosevelt and a whole lot like Gillian Anderson with fake teeth, the chompers are just distracting. In any given scene, all I can see are her lips arching over said teeth
in a way that is perhaps supposed to seem patrician, but instead reads a bit ghoulish. Davis appears to be prosthetic-free, but spends half the series pursing her lips in a physical impression that feels-worthy. When Roosevelt feels pique or discomfort, Anderson’s lips tremble over the fake overbite. Davis purses a lot, but you can tell Michelle’s really going through it when she purses extra hard.ach real-life first lady has gone on the record talking about the state of their pearly whites.
Still, when I think Eleanor Roosevelt, I think of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, not “overbite queen.” When I think of Michelle Obama, I think “accomplished attorney and path-breaking first lady,” not “shoulda gotten those braces.” WCritics aren’t loving the series so far: It currentlyjust 33% on Rotten Tomatoes. And its failings aren’t all on Davis and Anderson; the whole series is full of sketch-show level imitations.
