"...the standout performance belongs to Allison Altman as Abigail Williams. Altman perfectly captures what makes Abigail such a terrifying individual. Her Abigail comes across as a sociopath lacking any core identity. In Altman's capable hands, Abigail is a shape-shifter who can transform instantaneously when she thinks it will get her what she wants. One moment she is sweet, flirty, innocent, or vulnerable; the next she is vicious, icy, or hysterical. Everything she says is a lie, but it all rings true. Watching Altman, it is easy to see how nearly every authority figure in Salem could be seduced and duped by this young woman. It is a performance that is both chilling and mesmerizing."
