So what did we think of the first season of
The Alienist? I just watched the finale (co-directed by Cary Fukunaga and John Sayles!) last night; I've been running a couple of days behind. Anyway I should start a Tumblr called "Twinks in Tweed" just so I could devote the very first post to
The Alienist's
Douglas Smith here...
... who always looks super sharp in his period duds. That's where he first caught my eye - I think he's the only one who gets to have sex on the show... well except for all the murderers and boy prostitutes of course. And we do see Luke Evans getting re-dressed in brothels a few times. It's a repressed show. On purpose. As I tweeted...

That's been the sexiest moment on the show by far. Although... it is a show about murdered boy prostitutes, so maybe "sexy" isn't the agenda. Oh well! We've got Douglas Smith there to boink freely, at least. I never watched Big Love (which he played Bill Paxton's son on, I believe) so I wasn't familiar with Douglas before The Alienist but the thirty-two year-old has been acting for ages - his very first role was in the infamous "Home" episode of The X-Files!
I mean that's really something to be proud of. For real. You can coast on that for a lifetime. But Dougie here ain't coasting - yesterday it was announced that besides
The Alienist he's lined up a major gig. Super major.
He's joining the cast of Big Little Lies! He's playing a surfer and "aspiring marine biologist" who works with Shaileene Woodley's character. I smell romance! And I'm just guessing here but since Andrea Arnold is directing the whole season I also smell "nudity." Good thing Douglas isn't shy...
Good thing for him, good thing for us, good thing for everybody. It is raining good things. And speaking of, things that are good I mean, you can follow Douglas on Instagram
right here, and then another good thing besides that is I gathered up a couple dozen pictures of him, and you can find those good things right here
after the jump...
