I've been confused about SMG's acting in the Ringer, as well. One thing I have never, ever critiqued with SMG is her acting ability. Some of her choices, etc, sure, but the ability to create whole characters distinct from anyone else's regardless of the writing -- never had that problem.
Now? Big problem. I can't figure out either twin, they're far too similar without any of the little clues that I've been expecting with this sort of noir drama and an actress of, what I thought, was her calibre. Now... I have no idea. It's one of the reasons I think I'm struggling with the show. She's just blank. There's nothing warm or vaguely comfortable about Brigitte, and the iciness of Shioban isn't enough. Sad. I really want to like the show.
