Andrew Garfield’s acting career continues to peak with his latest role in the FX true-crime series. As Jeb Pyre, the 38-year-old actor plays both dad and detective tasked with leading the investigation into a murder within a devout Mormon family. Given how much Garfield’s fans have crushed on him over the past year, there’s no doubt that his latest role will likely earn him the moniker, “DILF,” which works two ways here: “a dad/detective I’d like to f**k.” When asked by ET’s Lauren Zima if he’s ready for such a title, the actor responds by joking, “I mean, listen I’m just trying to give the people what they want.” “As long as I’m in the business, I’m just in the business of pleasing,” he continues, before teasing, “You know, if you ask a silly question, you’re gonna get a silly answer.” While the series is far from humorous, the levity that Garfield brings to the interview is just the kind of charm audiences have come to expect from the actor, who is rounding out an incredible year of back-to-back roles in, and, with the latter earning him his second Oscar nomination., meanwhile, will likely earn the actor his first Emmy nomination for his complex turn as a man whose faith is called into question after he uncovers buried truths about the LDS religion and witnesses the violence that can come from unyielding devotion. Adapted from Jon Krakauer’s nonfiction bestseller by creator and showrunner Dustin Lance Black, the series depicts the events leading up to the 1984 murder of Brenda Wright Lafferty (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her baby daughter as well as Pyre and Det.

Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticIt’s all too easy to imagine a version of “Under the Banner of Heaven” that fails. In adapting Jon Krakauer’s 2003 book for the screen, Dustin Lance Black (“Milk”) had to delve into the horrific murder of a mother and child and untangle the clash between mainstream and fundamentalist Mormonism at its core.

FX/Hulu’s big play for Emmy glory in this incredibly crowded season is an adaptation of Jon Krakauer’s excellent 2003 book “Under the Banner of Heaven,” a historical analysis of the history of Mormonism in this country framed alongside a dissection of a brutal murder case from 1984 in the state of Utah. While the book had the context of the history of the origin of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints and how it got twisted into the mindset of the fundamentalist sect of Mormonism that pushed Ron and Dan Lafferty to commit brutal murder, the show feels at the beginning like it wants badly to be more “True Detective” and less Ken Burns, improving in the third and fourth episodes as it becomes more about a broken community than a specific murder.
