Stevens gives a larger-than-life performance in the role, and Netflix fans are loving it.

Here are just a few of the responses to Stevens’ OTT turn in the movie going around on social media:

He’s pretty much perfect.

“Dan Stevens was the best.”

“A bastard for the ages.”

He’s a show-stealer!

Is this the height of Dan Stevens’ career right here?

Stevens will now be out with a back injury after carrying Eurovision single-handedly.
