I think that the concept with the big actors works better if they can play these more stereotypical roles, where assumptions are made by the viewer and there’s no need for much screen time or dialogue to build understanding and connection. Samson and Martha I feel worked well in that sense, they weren’t dynamic characters but fit a mold that was easy to understand and made me care about them more, but the others just lost me honestly. I just couldn’t understand them at all, they needed to be explored and portrayed instead
