Me too. She reminds me a lot of a former acquaintance. Kim's physical characterization gives her a kind of believability that most TV shows and movie characters don't have. She isn't made up to look like a super-model, but the character still obviously takes care of herself and is concerned with presenting an outwardly 'prepared' look (... which I find super-attractive...). The costume design and makeup are very believable for a professional woman in her mid-30s in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Little touches like the curled ponytail are exactly the sort of thing that I see in real-life professional women in their 30s; it's feminine, but the way it's always so neatly and carefully arranged is emblematic of the kind of fastidiousness that lawyers tend to have.

It's also super-interesting to me that Rhea Seehorn plays a character that is about 10-15 years younger than she actually is. It's not uncommon for a 25-year-old to be playing a 16-year-old in a teen drama, but it's very unusual for a 50-year-old to be playing a 37ish-year-old. That Seehorn pulls it off so seemingly easily is all the more proof she's a total babe.


The ending we all knew couldn't happen.
