It’s from Jessica Jones, a very, very good show. David Tennant plays a man with mind control powers who uses them in all of the worst ways you can possibly imagine. It’s technically a Marvel comics thing, but the creators were given total carte blanche and went deep into the absolute nightmarishness of the subject matter. It’s basically a mix of detective noir and horror. Tennant and Ritter both deliver incredible performances and the show really plays with the abject terror of living in a world with superhumans in it. It’s like a version of Invincible that refuses to ever undermine the horror by cracking a joke.
If you want a less explicit example of what he does that doesn’t really spoil anything, he picks some random family’s house as a base and tells the kids to stay out of sight. Iirc they just stand in a closed closet because they can’t disobey.
Tenant does such a good job with the role that I legitimately had a hard time watching him as other characters for a while after. Kilgrave is so fucking vile on so many levels, but is still a fully fleshed out awful character by the end, and Tenant absolutely nails it.
Always seen this meme format posted, no clue what it’s supposed to be from

It’s a ridiculously good performance and I think it really shocked a lot of people who only knew him from Doctor Who.
I’ve always said that it takes a genuinely good person to play a truly repugnant villain, and by all accounts that’s Tennant through and through.
Totally the same. Between this and him as Crowley in good omens I have a hard time seeing him as anything but these 2 characters.
From Jessica Jones, the guy has a superpower where what he speaks is treated as a command by the one hearing it.
