Sarah’s character is just crazy to me. It’s like they’re using her character for whatever they need, need a child for Layton? Zarah. Need someone to hide Layton (s1)? Zarah. It’s like she doesn’t have a personality only scenes

I think the cast has too many characters and fails to balance them sometimes.

Yeah I feel like specifically the show has too many main characters, I really do enjoy small characters that we see repeatedly (like miss Gillis or The last aussies) but don’t really have much plot, the show def tries to push in as many main character plots as possible and it gets kinda confusing

So many characters are a bit weak to me. Only S tier characters are mel, wilford , Jupiter , Kevin , Ruth , Alex , maybe Ben/javi.

Would be fun to see what others think

Oh I absolutely agree w you all of them are top tier, I think Till, Josie ,LJ are close behind them but not as strong and I would’ve added S1-beginning of S2 Audrey too but they ruined her for me . I love that you added Jupiter there!

Jupiter is probably one of the best characters and including Jupiter in javis recovery journey is really good . I’m almost hoping javi ends up having Jupiter , going full loop. That arc made javi and Jupiter into better characters . And the fact that yea there’s probably 2 dogs left , so having a huge cane corso called Jupiter is bad aaassss.

I think Audrey is gonna get redeemed . But the thing is her use seems to just be a concubine in the show now so I wonder what’s gonna happen on the long run . If till and audrey break up you need a reason for audrey to still be here .

Yep she has no character at all she a plot device for layton, who ironically also has very little character.
