Thackery wild for the dime-piece Asian sex worker inspiration. Birdie is a cool little character. He gives the show something beyond what the other characters are doing

even in loss I can't stand Gallengers wife...

and Yikes as rapey creepLife soon-to-be father-in-law.

these are some really original characters:
-Black man who has to create an underground medic center to allow his gifts to flourish, while dealing with northern racism, and he also like to throw hands for the fuck of it (really to deal with the society he's in)
-Catholic nun who drinks and provides abortions
-Aristocratic daughter who leads a hospital, ain't afraid to get her hands dirty, stands up to men, yet will ultimately be forced into house-wifization
etc

so good, and yeah I'm'a kept talking to myself in here
