2013–present: Subsequent career andAmerican Crime[edit]

Huffman said that after seeing her as Lynette Scavo onHousewivesfor eight years it was difficult for audiences to think of her as anything else.

The project was developed for ABC, but was not green-lighted for 2015–16 television season.[39]American Crimedebuted on ABC in March, 2015 and Huffman received critical acclaim for her performance as an antagonistic character.[40][41][42]Robert Bianco fromUSA Todaysaid in his review "A triumph for Oscar winner John Ridley, who created, produced and directedAmerican Crime,and a reconfirmation that Felicity Huffman is one of the best actors we have... In no case is that truer than with Huffman's Barb, who is the morally questionable center of the story. Barb is a Lifetime movie heroine: a tough, divorced mother who raised her children alone, and is fighting now to bring her son's murderer to justice. Except this isn't that kind of show, and Barb's battles have not just made her stronger; they've made her hate all the people she's felt she had to fight. Which is why Huffman's gut-wrenching performance is so startling. A bundle of barely concealed fury, Huffman forces us to invest in a woman who thinks her bigotry makes her not just right, but noble. "[43]
