What would've worked better for Gaga in Hotel..
I've said quite a few times on here that if Lady Gaga didn't have as much screen time, then The Countess would've been more mysterious and we'd always have been aching to see more of her. But of course, Ryan loves Gaga so decided for the camera to be in her face 80% of the time, kinda destroying the effect intended. Quality, not quantity.
Not saying that Gaga is a bad actress, just saying that her performance is very powerful and would've worked better if we saw her in small doses.
Imagine just seeing this mysterious platinum blonde woman who keeps on popping for six episodes, shifting around like a serpent. The whole time we're aware that there's something going off in the Hotel that isn't quite right and we know it has something to do this sinister, shady individual who's always wearing a chain mail glove- an overruling presence governing the Hotel. We then meet her properly in Episode 7 or 8, having just seen glimpses of her throughout the season, and we begin to develop an idea on who she is and how she's connected to these towhead children and then in Episode 11 everything starts to make more sense, paying off in the finale.
Obviously this would alter the plot of Hotel completely and if this did happen, Hotel would not be as you know it now but this is just a big "What if.."
