Can you show me an example of her acting well, then?

I don't think I can because I don't think you understand what I'm saying.

What she's doing with this character on-screen may be exactly what the director and writers want her to do with this character. That doesn't mean you or I have to think it creates a character that's fun to watch. If someone hires you to be an auto mechanic who breaks cars and you break all the cars you get, then you're still doing well at your job even though everyone will call you a bad mechanic.

A good actor would have played other roles. Be known for some good acting. If I told you Tom Hanks didn't act well in Forest Gump or The Terminal you could show me another movie where he acted well besides those to show me he is a dynamic actor with acting skills. I don't see people doing that here. I'm basically seeing white knighting and people saying that the character has poor writing. I could easily imagine other actors carrying this role with more integrity and be funnier and more amusing to watch. If you guys really like her, by all means, Stan for your life. I just don't see why she is necessary or important. In fact, she makes me hold a partial grudge against the show for casting her.

Overacting as a character. Cool. It still doesn't make it suck less.

It's not writing. The show has good writing. I think you're really the one who doesn't get it. But, by all means, stand on your pedestal and say nothing, more.
