Can we take a sec and talk about the fact that literally nobody in WATT is even slightly okay?
Kate has severe abandonment and attachment issues, plus her best and only true friend dies and she’s the one who found the body. Oh yeah and SHE GOT STABBED AND ALMSOT DIED!
Reese accidentally killed an innocent person and then had to live with the guilt after lying about it, she kept that shit a secret for MONTHS.
Cairo’s best friend killed two people and she had no idea until months after it happened, plus she was unaware Riley was even struggling until after she confessed (and was also pining up a storm while all of this was happening)
Riley literally murdered two people in cold blood, enough said.
Farrah was an alcoholic and had little to no support system (“everyone hates me” “Farrah hated Farrah too”)
Chess had a drug addiction and had no faith that she could ever get better (“you don’t know who you are until you hate yourself”)
Annleigh lost her boyfriend and sister in the same night and for months was convinced Clark had been cheating on her with Farrah. She’s also like, way too into religion, just saying.
Mattie got framed for murder and sent to prison for a few months, that’s bound to mess you up, plus getting blackout drunk at the sleepover.
I think the only ones who are close to mentally stable is Clark and Eva, but I can’t really say that Clark is okay because he’s, ya know, dead.
I’m personally of the opinion that Eva should have been introduced from the beginning, and no not as a pizza delivery girl who shows up for all of one minute in act one, does absolutely nothing, and then doesn’t get mentioned again until ten minutes into the second act only for her to either be silent or absent entirely for most of it. Introduce her from the very beginning, make her a transfer right at the start, a new year, a new face. Let her be an outcast and a suspect, and have her further push the plot in some way. She is an outsider, a reflection of how broken and scared these girls really are, but she can be more than that, she should be more than that. She is a new beginning for Kate, a branch off from Chess, the only person Kate has centered herself around for god knows how long. Let that start earlier, make the progression feel more natural. Let people question her, question Riley’s motives for bringing her in, let it be a window into the rest of the team realizing that there really is something wrong with how they function based on the reaction of someone who’s up until now dealt with a much healthier atmosphere and more functional group of people.
We didn’t need a Kateva duet because frankly we didn’t need Eva. A duet with them wouldn’t have done anything for the plot, and WATT already has very few plot driven songs
YES and I’m so glad someone finally said it. Eva’s character seemed to come from literally nowhere and did nothing for the plot. Also yes WATT 100% needed more plot driven songs.
