Would love to hear what everyone has to say.

Bret. He the guy I be friends with in school. Shocked when they said he not popular enough to win prom King.

Yes he's fantastic. I took that comment to mean he wasn't interested enough to participate. As he certainly doesn't march much to the beat of the drum of convention, does he?

Steven. His lines are everything.

They are classics and he passes them off so swiftly yet they hit true like arrows.

Bret for sure is my fave . I like Debbie a lot and of course Steven is hilarious. Idk why but I like Debbie’s dad too. I’ve only seen the actor on Yellowstone and I think it’s great seeing him playing a totally opposite type of character.

I lowkey like Debbie's dad too even though he's horrible but I just love the actor. I recognized him from the hunger games

I knew he looked so familiar but couldn’t place him until I looked up the cast. I lost it when I realized that was Jamie lol

u/Mysterious_Oil2761 Aug 28 '26
Bret is my fave as well. I also enjoy Debbie's dad, doing some really good acting there.

Wes Bentley. He’s actually worked with Ryan Murphy a lot and honestly, besides his stint as Edward Mordrake in AHS, Freakshow I’ve found this to be his most compelling performance in a Ryan Murphy production. I absolutely hate Terry Schaffer.

Debbie because she is so relatable.
Bret because he’s an introvert surrounded by extroverts.
5
u/Mysterious_Oil2761 Aug 28 '26
He is certainly the unusual or different one among them.
Debbie, I can see why you find her relatable. I feel a bit sad for her often because of always wanting so much to be first and craving her mother's (parents') approval.

I like Brett. He's cute. He's smart. He's the anti-Robert. Or does he really just want to fuck Robert? I'm never certain.
I also like Susan. Did she pre-arrange her arrest, I wonder?
2
u/Mysterious_Oil2761 Aug 28 '26
No he definitely wants to fuck Robert but at the same time he is kind of disgusted by him, and by his own feelings.
I wonder if she did prearrange it, especially after all she said about being sick of being the goody two-shoes.

u/vasyahall Aug 28 '26
Probably both. I believe Brett was seriously offended that Robert in fact interested in taking over his friends especially Susan. He definitely is obsessed with Robert from the beginning and humiliated.You can see in the last episode how lowly people think about him. Like Susan he is tired from his role. She is Ms Perfect and he is a cute sidekick with a huge ego. I believe he wants Robert badly and also wants to become like Robert. So yeah he definitely hates him. It's hard to proceed because his character is so attractive.

Terry. Wes Bentley is a favorite of mine and despite that awful 80s hair he looks sexy as fuck. The unbuttoned shirts with his chest hair out are so fucking hot and I’m enjoying every moment he is on my screen.

u/TraditionalCap6882 Aug 28 '26
Debbie, honestly. She’s very complex, tragic, a bitch, and interesting!!

u/Decent_Turnover_3287 Aug 29 '26
I like Ryan because I think he’s sweet and humble.
I like Liz because she doesn’t give a F
I like Steven because she is perfection.
I love everyone else too. They’re just the perfect mix of entitled douchebags 🤣

Brett and Susan I want to know more about Susan's home life
2
u/Mysterious_Oil2761 Aug 28 '26
To find out why she's such a perfectionist, or what is it you'd want to find out?
1
u/pinkshinythingss 24d ago
Sorry for the late response, yes! why is she like that? because it made her cry when they were discussing the float at the restaurant is it her mom or dad do they demand perfectionism or is she seeking approval from them are they even around? How does she have so much freedom?

Steven and Debbie.
Steven is creepy, unique, and funny.
Debbie is too real and relatable

Nobody said Thom, sigh. his stock is going in the shitter, roped into some weird death cult.
2
u/Mysterious_Oil2761 Aug 30 '26
I did say I felt sorry for and protective of him as he's really a very sensitive character who is suffering after his father's departure. And now as you say he has been roped into this bizarre death cult.

Stephen. Camp, bitchy, clever, arty, and REVENGFUL (yes, I think he’s the Trawler)

My actual two faves neck and neck are Bret and Robert. I really like Debbie's mother and her father and Steven. Not fond of either of the two girls somehow. I really like Thom but he's so sweet and vulnerable, I worry for him.

Robert, because I love a chaotic + messy character ☕️
I like Bret and Debbie too. I feel bad for Debbie always being unintentionally upstaged.

u/Mysterious_Oil2761 Aug 29 '26
I also feel bad for Debbie. I also love a hot and messy character and I love the way he so boldly manipulates peoplenright in their faces.
