Great casting. I would watch her eat salad for two hours.
I'm always glad to see Natasha Henstridge back on TV. She's beautiful, talented, charming, and also surprisingly good with comedy. I don't know this story, so I have no idea what the role with call for, but I look forward to finding out. Even more so if they're gonna make her a redhead to match the casting sides. :)
