Genya Safin was supposed to be a side character, but Daisy's acting just makes her so incredible that she becomes the most memorable and favorite character in the whole season
leigh bardugo never wrote her as a side character and it’s actually a shame the show doesn’t use her more because her character has a really prominent role and important story in the books
I think Daisy Head had the absolute strongest performance out of all of the amazing actors this season and this really shows it. Her understanding of Genya... she's a phenomenal actress and I am BEGGING for the show to be renewed so we can see more of her.
"Pain is in all of us and accessing it brings stuff up." Daisy I have never loved you more. thank you for doing Genya so much justice Netflix we need a 3rd season with her!!
Genya is a great character and I’m so happy we got someone as talented and caring as Daisy to play her. She’s done so much justice to the character, and it makes me happy to see her talk about her experience and process in playing her ❤
Finally Daisy getting the love, and appreciation, she deserves. She steals every scene she is in, has had the best performance in both seasons, and is generally one of the highlights in every show/movie she is in.
daisy speaks about genya's emotional journey with such consideration and empathy, its a joy to listen to. i think she did amazing things with genya this season. her story is a much needed anchor in all the grand political and fantastical drama, a reminder of the people in ravka affected by the struggles for power, the people no one cares about. and daisy really keeps us so grounded in genya's experiences that its impossible not to care.
Daisy tearing up about Genya & acting out the ruby-drawing scene, really shows what a huge sweetheart she is😭 i love her so much and i'm so happy about this video, just recently thought about wishing to see her react to stuff more since we'd gotten some of the other cast members. The deep understanding she has of the character paired with her eloquent explanations is just,,, superb.
This video just made me notice the look on her face when she touches Adrik’s hand because David made it and added gemstones (2:45) 😭 Daisy’s performance this season was just phenomenal!
Me and Genya were crying the same way during the ruby reveal. I had to pause and be consoled by my partner for a moment. Absolutely stunning performance, Daisy!
I know everyone is talking about which performances were the best this season and who carried the show (I have seen a lot about Inej and Kaz) but personally the scenes between Genya and Nikolai were absolutely stunning and I wish more people acknowledged them. There was so much depth in these moments from her pain and strength to vocalize what happened to her to her rage. It felt so powerful that she was the one to ask Nikolai what kind of king he will be with his mother standing behind him and only hours before watching the king and his brother get literally ripped in half. Paddy and Daisy played it so well with all the raw emotion and complexity it deserved and really showcased their characters as more than the puppy prince and beauty. These moments really took the show to another level for me.
I'm very excited to follow this actress's career because the work she did in S&B as Genya and in D&D as Sofina were some of the best performances I've seen lately and she looks very talented, I'm sure she is gonna be a very big deal in the near future ;)
Oh Daisy, you absolutely did her justice. Her and Luke just stole the season in my opinion, just brilliant work that made me sob so hard. Love them both ❤
Daisy Head truly is an incredible actress. Thanks to this show I am now in love! She’s fantastic. I love Shadow and Bone and oh that scene when Genya and David 😢😢
Its amazing to see how invested she is to her own character's story. I personally loved her this season. And her story's end in the finale broke my heart.
Daisy Head is such a brilliant actor. She brought so much to Genya, who is a beloved favorite among the Grishaverse fandom. Well done! I hope we get a season three so we can see more of Daisy’s incredible portrayal of this incredible character.
The absolute love in which Daisy handled Genya is beautiful and comes across magnificently. All the casting was great, but Daisy was hands down the single-best decision casting wise. She handles Genya with such love and care, but also deep respect and admiration, and it comes across. No one could have done my Genya better, truly. Daisy brought the character I relate to so heavily to life and she did it flawlessly. I just can't believe how lucky we got with her, with Daisy Head, as our Genya Safin.
I think Daisy and Ben are the best actor and actress for this show. Genya expressions, I have never seen a lot from someone who's in the film industry for 15 years, but daisy slayed!
Loved Daisy’s portrayal of Genya. Started shadow and bone the show without having read the books but saw a lot of fan art of Genya and show-Genya (thanks to Daisy) quickly became one of my favorite characters!!
She is such a talented actress! But the real revelation for me was what kind of person she is behind the scenes. Sensible, deep-thinking, sensitive. Her statements from recent interviews are gold standard aphorisms that came to her mind during an ordinary small talk. Delightful!
Daisy did incredible portraying Genya and the most emotionally impactful scenes in my opinion of this season are hers. She understands the character at all levels and it shows so well. I love Genya and I can't imagine anyone else playing her with the power and emotion Daisy has.
I truly own Daisy all my heart. She was just brilliant this season. She broke me with every scene. I really really hope we get to see more of her🥺She has so much more to give!
Daisy Head! You did Genya JUSTICE!! She's sooo proud of you for dedicating so much to bring her to life and be the vessel for her story💯 You're amazing!
I sat through all of "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" constantly thinking, 'I know I've seen this actor somewhere.' I mean, I _just_ finished this season before watching it. Totally didn't recognize her.🤦🏻♂️ Anyhow, she's a great screamer! You feel this character's hurt. She would've been AMAZING in the era of horror Scream Queens.
girlie you and I both were hopeful we'd find David. even in the books when genya was like "We can't find David" I was like girlie he'll be around dw like he's here why are you being so dramatic. then obvs the next scene was of his pyre so guess I was in denial instead 💀
i appreciate how brutal they made the scars look. oftentimes shows/movies have a tendency to tone down scarring on characters (i’m looking at you Game of Thrones and Tyrion’s nose wound), for whatever reason. i can sometimes get it for practical reasons (e.g. ratings or prosthetics), and even with Genya you COULD argue that they toned it down somewhat. but even so, they kept the important parts there: the mutilated eye, the deep wide scar, and it makes all the difference between keeping to the severity of the scar and the scar losing meaning altogether due to adaptational changes.
When Genya found the ring design my mind immediately junped to the fact he was gonna propose. I don't know if that's true or not. This scene though had me in tears and Daisy's performance was absolutely amazing
I swear if David doesnt come back just missing a limb or something Im gonna be so upset. We weren't given a body so Im opporating under the assumption he is definitely alive.
Daisy Head , I Think You Are a Brlliant Actrice. Sofina also You Played So well. Truly Played so well. The Handmovements are Amazing You don't See the Green Screen. As You where Born to have Magic For Real👍 In time You will get and other Offer to Play a Magical Being, I know.
Genya is like the character I would ask my friends like what happened to her? Is she okay?? I miss her! When can we see her again? I swear my friends are like soooo tired of me Everytime we watch the show..S3 pls, we need more Genya 💯
Genya really deserves the world. She's gone through so much this season. Daisy really gave justice to her character.
Genya Safin was supposed to be a side character, but Daisy's acting just makes her so incredible that she becomes the most memorable and favorite character in the whole season
Yes!
leigh bardugo never wrote her as a side character and it’s actually a shame the show doesn’t use her more because her character has a really prominent role and important story in the books
I think Daisy Head had the absolute strongest performance out of all of the amazing actors this season and this really shows it. Her understanding of Genya... she's a phenomenal actress and I am BEGGING for the show to be renewed so we can see more of her.
And yet, she is the one that Netflix didn't put in the list of Emmy nominations for supporting actress...
Agreed she was amazing
love the entire cast but I 100% agree - so captivating every time she was on screen
She elevated the show in every scene. Definitely the strongest actress (in my opinion) in the show.
Daisy's performance was incredible throughout the season, very well done!
"Pain is in all of us and accessing it brings stuff up." Daisy I have never loved you more. thank you for doing Genya so much justice
Netflix we need a 3rd season with her!!
The scene where Genya finds the ruby made me cry so hard, and watching it with Daisy's explanation, I cried again, such a beautiful scene
Genya is a great character and I’m so happy we got someone as talented and caring as Daisy to play her. She’s done so much justice to the character, and it makes me happy to see her talk about her experience and process in playing her ❤

GENYA DESERVES THE ENTIRE WORLD (and that world has David IN IT)
Genya's such a powerful character ❤️ I love her
We need full potential Genya in season 3! And we need to see her teaches Nina about tailoring. Daisy, we love you! Genya, we love you!
My heart went out to Genya this season, she had been through so much since her childhood
Agreed
This video just made me notice the look on her face when she touches Adrik’s hand because David made it and added gemstones (2:45) 😭 Daisy’s performance this season was just phenomenal!
Me and Genya were crying the same way during the ruby reveal. I had to pause and be consoled by my partner for a moment. Absolutely stunning performance, Daisy!
I know everyone is talking about which performances were the best this season and who carried the show (I have seen a lot about Inej and Kaz) but personally the scenes between Genya and Nikolai were absolutely stunning and I wish more people acknowledged them. There was so much depth in these moments from her pain and strength to vocalize what happened to her to her rage. It felt so powerful that she was the one to ask Nikolai what kind of king he will be with his mother standing behind him and only hours before watching the king and his brother get literally ripped in half. Paddy and Daisy played it so well with all the raw emotion and complexity it deserved and really showcased their characters as more than the puppy prince and beauty. These moments really took the show to another level for me.
Daisy was amazing as Genya. Please renew the show so we can see more of her!!
This scene where Genya tell the Queen how she did it was breath-taking and gut-wrenching
Daisy's analysis of Genya's storyline is perfect
I'm very excited to follow this actress's career because the work she did in S&B as Genya and in D&D as Sofina were some of the best performances I've seen lately and she looks very talented, I'm sure she is gonna be a very big deal in the near future ;)
Oh Daisy, you absolutely did her justice. Her and Luke just stole the season in my opinion, just brilliant work that made me sob so hard. Love them both ❤
She was worried of not doing it justice DAISY YOU DO JUSTICE TO EVERYTHING please we need season 3 Im not ready to say goodbye to her 😢
Genya is such an incredible character!!! I love her!
Her grabbing the hand David had made when she nearly faints 🫣
Daisy Head truly is an incredible actress. Thanks to this show I am now in love! She’s fantastic. I love Shadow and Bone and oh that scene when Genya and David 😢😢
she had the strongest performance in season 2. the only actor to make me cry
Amazing how Daisy gave us an inside not only into Genya’s thoughts but also hers; on how to convey and make everything work ❤
She really gets her character. It's wonderful to see and watch and hear.
Its amazing to see how invested she is to her own character's story. I personally loved her this season. And her story's end in the finale broke my heart.
Genya and David were amazing ❤❤❤ Props to Daisy and Luke
Agree! Would love to see Daisy and Luke in a rom-com. ❤😉
Daisy's performance as genya broke my very soul. Genya deserves the entire world.
I love her voice! She has such a powerful and dynamic tone and I want to listen to her narrate an audiobook
These videos are just the best. Keep up the good work as always.
Daisy Head is such a brilliant actor. She brought so much to Genya, who is a beloved favorite among the Grishaverse fandom. Well done! I hope we get a season three so we can see more of Daisy’s incredible portrayal of this incredible character.
"Your beauty is your armor"
The initial lay out of the ring 😭
I love how Daisy explains so well the scene and Genya's character. It shows how much it means to her and that she understands perfectly Genya.❤️
NO 👏🏻 BODY 👏🏻 NO 👏🏻 CRIME 👏🏻 *screams in denial*
The absolute love in which Daisy handled Genya is beautiful and comes across magnificently. All the casting was great, but Daisy was hands down the single-best decision casting wise. She handles Genya with such love and care, but also deep respect and admiration, and it comes across. No one could have done my Genya better, truly. Daisy brought the character I relate to so heavily to life and she did it flawlessly. I just can't believe how lucky we got with her, with Daisy Head, as our Genya Safin.
Genya's scenes were the most emotional ones, that's when you know that you have an outstanding supporting actress, she absolutely stole the show
i can tell she really understands the character, shes the perfect genya.
Thank you daisy head for doing the absolute best job at bringing one of my favourite characters to life.
Her performance was gorgeous 😍
genya is my favourite character
Daisy deserves all the awards and flowers for the way she brought Genya and her journey to life 🥺💖
I think Daisy and Ben are the best actor and actress for this show. Genya expressions, I have never seen a lot from someone who's in the film industry for 15 years, but daisy slayed!
Daisy really delivered as Genya since season 1, I'm thankful that we have her as our Genya 🤗💖👏
Loved Daisy’s portrayal of Genya. Started shadow and bone the show without having read the books but saw a lot of fan art of Genya and show-Genya (thanks to Daisy) quickly became one of my favorite characters!!
SHE IS RUINATION ❤
I look forward to seeing her in future episodes
She is such a talented actress!
But the real revelation for me was what kind of person she is behind the scenes. Sensible, deep-thinking, sensitive. Her statements from recent interviews are gold standard aphorisms that came to her mind during an ordinary small talk.
Delightful!
I am sure David is not dead per say haha after seeing the 🐝 in the last scenes, the ruby left to Genya could also be a clue :)
Daisy’s performance was incredible!! Genya deserves all good things!! She went thru so much shit
Daisy did incredible portraying Genya and the most emotionally impactful scenes in my opinion of this season are hers. She understands the character at all levels and it shows so well. I love Genya and I can't imagine anyone else playing her with the power and emotion Daisy has.
She is every bit as good as her dad. Can't wait to see more from her.
Daisy Heads performance as Genya was truly amazing. Her scenes were played with so much raw emotion. Really wonderful
I truly own Daisy all my heart. She was just brilliant this season. She broke me with every scene. I really really hope we get to see more of her🥺She has so much more to give!
Daisy is such an artist, she really put in such amazing work. It was a treat to watch
Such a talented actress!
Amazing performance Daisy! Really really loved it ❤️ she is so beautiful and kind hearted 💗 she played Genya perfectly!
She was SO good absolutely loved her perfomance!!!
Full honesty: I have never seen the show or read the book. Buttt I still am obsessed with/want to hug Daisy, she's such a sweetheart 💖
Daisy Head! You did Genya JUSTICE!! She's sooo proud of you for dedicating so much to bring her to life and be the vessel for her story💯 You're amazing!
I love how they don't actually show the dumbwaiter scene here because they KNOW it would be too traumatic. 😭
She is an incredible actress
I sat through all of "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" constantly thinking, 'I know I've seen this actor somewhere.' I mean, I _just_ finished this season before watching it. Totally didn't recognize her.🤦🏻♂️
Anyhow, she's a great screamer! You feel this character's hurt. She would've been AMAZING in the era of horror Scream Queens.
She put on such an outstanding performance that I had to stop watching the show and search her up. Now I'm here :)
Daisy and Luke were such a good pairing as Genya and David!! Fantastic acting from them both, I love both of them so much
give to this woman an EMMY
girlie you and I both were hopeful we'd find David. even in the books when genya was like "We can't find David" I was like girlie he'll be around dw like he's here why are you being so dramatic. then obvs the next scene was of his pyre so guess I was in denial instead 💀
Genya made me cry the most this season
She really bring Genya come to life, Genya is my favorite character of both seasons.
i appreciate how brutal they made the scars look. oftentimes shows/movies have a tendency to tone down scarring on characters (i’m looking at you Game of Thrones and Tyrion’s nose wound), for whatever reason. i can sometimes get it for practical reasons (e.g. ratings or prosthetics), and even with Genya you COULD argue that they toned it down somewhat. but even so, they kept the important parts there: the mutilated eye, the deep wide scar, and it makes all the difference between keeping to the severity of the scar and the scar losing meaning altogether due to adaptational changes.
Daisy was the best actress in this season everytime she was on the screen I just almost couldn't blink
Daisy absolutely killed it in D&D, she has great presence!
these scenes gave me CHILLS
Netflix you must renew Shadow and Bone. Look at the level of talent on this show❤❤❤❤
daisy is an amazing actor
When Genya found the ring design my mind immediately junped to the fact he was gonna propose. I don't know if that's true or not. This scene though had me in tears and Daisy's performance was absolutely amazing
daisy was incredible and she truly gets genya
I swear if David doesnt come back just missing a limb or something Im gonna be so upset. We weren't given a body so Im opporating under the assumption he is definitely alive.
Give her an award!!!
Please we need a S3 and Crows Spinoff. Keep streaming the show everyone!
DAISY HEAD YOU'RE JUST PERFECT!!!!!
I love Genya 💖 She deserves better 😭
Genya was so good this season!
Daisy is such a great crier 😭👌

Daisy, don't you understand that we are in denial as well. No body, not dead. Don't loose hope on David. 🤞🤞
She deserved so much more. She lost everything and in the end we didn't see her ever be at peace
She is amazing.
OH MY GOD 😭
GENYA IS SO AMAZING
I’d actually love to also see Daisy reacting to scenes between Genya and David
Genya is like the character I would ask my friends like what happened to her? Is she okay?? I miss her! When can we see her again? I swear my friends are like soooo tired of me Everytime we watch the show..S3 pls, we need more Genya 💯
