All Plot, No Growth

I’m currently at episode 10, and I think I’ve pinpointed what’s been bothering me. All the characters are interesting and have compelling stories and potential for character development *in theory*. I can kind of understand why a character’s perspective changes after a specific event, but the show often skips over the actual transformation process and jumps straight to the end result.

Take this example (spoiler alert): At the beginning of episode 10, Joke talks to Jack about wanting kids but admits he's afraid he wouldn’t be a good father. This setup is interesting. We then get an extended scene where Joke comforts the little girl after her dad leaves, while Jack watches and seems to think, “You’d be a great dad.” Later, in the same episode, we see Joke introducing his new family to his father and announcing that he and Jack want to adopt the girl.

In theory, we get that Joke would make a good dad, and the earlier scene hints that Jack agrees. But adoption is a huge decision—especially for someone insecure about fatherhood. It would have been so much more engaging to actually witness their decision-making process and see how they worked through those insecurities. Skipping over details like this, which may seem minor but are actually quite significant, makes the series feel less coherent and misses out on potential emotional depth. In my opinion, these omissions rob the characters of the rich, emotional backgrounds they were set up to have.

All this being said - I'm obsessed with it. The start was super boring but after episode 3 I was hooked and can't wait for mondays to come. I definitely recommend to anyone who has free after noon and needs a new obsession.
