I'm Having A Really Hard Time Rooting For Natalie Portman's Character In Her New Apple TV+ Show

Natalie Portman in Lady in the Lake.

I’ve always found Natalie Portman a compelling actor to watch, but I’m finding her character in Lady in the Lake hard to root for. Beneath her seductive Baltimore lilt is a deep pit of female rage. The simmering of this has been enough to keep me watching Lady in the Lake, which has a positive Rotten Tomatoes score, but the things she does in the name of her goals make me suspicious.
