Many worse shows would have eagerly jumped into an assortment of horrendous tropes set up by this scenario but thanks to both the conscientious writers and Tennie’s tender performance, Sean’s arc becomes one of individual growth for his own sake, one that isn’t solely there to uplift Jimmy or Alice, with whom she forges a fraternal bond that endures even after her hormones misinterpret his gentle perceptiveness for something else.

Why they're a standout: There are so many ways Tennie’s part could have been utterly disastrous.

Tennie has had many roles before this one, including as a key ensemble player in the short-lived action pleasure “Deadly Class.”

And I also just think that Luke Tennie, who plays Sean, is just an incredible actor.

Tennie, especially once he has moved on from rage, and Maxwell are good company.
