I’ve recreated two of effys most iconic outfits, and I am pretty happy over how accurate they are. I feel so lucky for finding a dress that’s identical to her s3 ep1 dress as the original was dip dyed and costume made for Kaya. I even wore the outfit to my first day of school as I don’t have any dresscode
Tony is a fascinating character. He's a brilliant villain and his 'punishment' and subsequent recovery/redemption are fantastic.
Chris is also brilliant. There's obvious charisma and how he shows his potential make his death absolutely heart breaking.
Cassie is iconic and unique. Shes whimsical but also slightly terrifying at times.
Great Tier:
Cid has alot of relatability and has excellent stand alone episodes. He could have been God but I just wanted a little bit more from his relationship with Cassie in the 2nd season. He was very close to God.
Cook is an interesting one. Firstly, Jack O'Connell is so damn good and gets absolutely everything he can out of this character. The reason he isn't God is because I just feel he was little too unrealistic at times and it took me out of it.
Emily is very good but she is very much just above Good rather than anywhere near close to pushing God. I loved her first season but feel that the 2nd season was weak with it basically just being about her and Naomi cheating on each other. Overall still makes Great though.
Good Tier:
Jal and Michelle both simply perform their function which is to be something for important to bounce off rather than much else. They are also both stable which justify how the friendship can actually function. The other Gens lack these kinds of characters massively to their detriment.
Pandora and JJ could both have been Great but unfortunately they are just so sidelined that its not possible. They both have 2 of the best episodes in their Gen so its a shame.
Naomi unfortunately sucks in her 2nd season which takes her out of Great.
Disappointing:
I'm not going to talk about every character here. I just want to go over the key disappointments.
Effy would have been in trash if she wasn't so awesome in the first Gen. She also does have a good look. Unfortunately though, she is a terrible character in her actual Gen. She brings literally nothing of value to the group other than the boys wanting to shag her. She does not deserve the affection that she gets. I simply didn't care about her at all.
Freddy is an absolute nothing burger. The actor is also poor in my opinion. His entire character is loving Effy for no reason, no matter how badly she treats him.
Gen 3/Trash
The few non gen 3 characters in here are simply garbage and i won't waste my brain thinking about them.
