He's not exactly the villain in "Turn: Washington's Spies", though I guess he's an antagonist (disclaimer - I didn't watch all the way through). But he's very good at his job.

I watched all four seasons in about two weeks in the summer of 2020 (I watched more television than ever before in my life in 2020) and if you make it over the hump of the first season, he remains an antagonist by circumstance and emerges otherwise as an absolute delight, one of the series' most interesting characters [edit: somewhat rambled about here]. I still resent that no one cast him as a straight-up romantic lead in a period drama on the strength of the part. The late eighteenth century looked great on him once he got out of the wig.

He's downright repulsive in "The Expanse" and was probably having a lot of fun with it.

I hope scenery was chewed.
