” star is a fan of TV, and she’s also a fan of writing and criticism about TV. And that includes reading press about her own shows — and herself. “I love [film and TV] criticism so much,” she tells Variety’s. “And it would make me sad to not get to read it. You have to put your ego aside for a minute and just be like, ‘it doesn’t matter what I read about myself.
On this episode, Lynskey discusses the twists and turns that came with Season 2 of the hit Showtime drama, as well as her turn as a complicated bad ass on HBO’s breakout “The Last of Us.” She also discusses how personal the storyline of her younger self’s pregnancy was to her own life, and how much she knows or doesn’t know about the trajectory of her character, Shauna.
Discussing Season 2’s sixth episode, “Qui,” Lynskey says, “When I read that script, I cried. It was so heartbreaking. I knew Sophie would do a beautiful job, and then seeing it… Just her little face, there’s so much happening on her face at all times, and just how freely she feels emotion. I know that Sophie sometimes doubts herself because she’s like, ‘Oh, ‘I’m not tortured. I’m not curled up in a ball on the corner, trying to get to a place.
As for her guest spot on HBO’s “The Last of Us,” as diabolical revolutionary leader Kathleen, Lynskey says she relished the brutal way in which her character dies. “She was not a nice person. But I did love that in the writing that they took their time and revealing things like they didn’t instantly show how she came to be in power. They didn’t instantly show her own backstory.
