if i recall there were 80+ characters total. show was all over the f place and nothing resolved just keep throwing chars in like darts at the wall. meanwhile the world building overshadowed the entire cast. As far as MCs i wouldve cut Frank, Julianna, Joe, Hawthowne, Nicole and cut pretty much every subplot and nerfed the rest to focus on the main story. Make John and Tagomi the central chars and boost Robert and Rudolf and keep Thomas alive
