Tobias Menzies always seemed somewhat type cast as a friend who would heel turn on the protagonist, really enjoying him carrying the mantle himself, and gotta love anything with Patton Oswald in it.
Also currently caught up on Franklin, it's OK but I can't get over the Michael Douglas of it. He is just too distinctive of an individual to play such a well document historic figure. Every time he speaks I can't hear Ben Franklin. Also needed someone a little fatter and a little balder to really feel right. But great production quality, as one would expect with an Apple history piece.

I'm enjoying Franklin a little bit more in Ep4. Since John Adams showed up. I think maybe Michael Douglas just needs someone to snipe at, his personality didn't feel right until he was making another actors character feel stupid.
