The least believable part of the show for me

General tadc criticism

I think my biggest gripe with the show is that somehow, despite being trapped in the circus for YEARS before Pomni showed up, it feels like the cast knows fuck all about each other.

Especially with Ragatha and Kinger. Rags, girl, you're telling me you've been roommates with this guy for nearly a decade and you never pieced together that he's lucid in the dark? Was there never a single adventure that put you two in a dark area? It's not like Caine forces Kinger to be in well-lit rooms all the time because otherwise episode 3 wouldn't have happened.

Then during the bar scene, we're presented with extremely basic information about each character and their previous lives. All I could think of, even when I still liked the show, was "Shouldn't everyone but Pomni already know this?"

You're telling me their past jobs never came up in casual conversation over the years? And with how Ragatha so freely volunteers information about her abusive mom, you'd think she'd have talked about it before, but everyone acts shocked and uncomfortable when it happens.

Plus just like… Queenie as a whole. When Pomni brings up that Kinger had a wife, we really only see Jax's reaction, which is confusion. Jax, buddy, you're telling me you've been here for YEARS, and have never noticed that the face on the door RIGHT NEXT TO YOURS looks weirdly similar to Kinger?? Or if you did, you just never wondered what that could mean???

I've seen the reasoning that Caine kept everyone so busy with adventures that they wouldn't have time to have basic conversation with each other, but that's blatantly untrue since multiple episodes give the cast downtime between adventures. And when five other people are your sole human interaction, I find it hard to believe that they're still strangers after living with them for years.
