[@ItsBAndBees]

I think the show just didn’t get as much hype and attention as some of the others, but Rachel always made it stand out for me too. As a southerner myself, I feel like putting on that accent (which there are several variations of to begin with) really takes down a lot of even Hollywood level actors. For some reason it’s hard for people, even Americans, to pull off. Her acting and mannerisms felt very familiar and homey to a girl like me from TN lol
