Of course there are obvious ones like Rupert or Edwin Akufo. But do you have a least favorite character out of all the good ones?
I know this is a very unpopular opinion but sometimes I find myself so annoyed with Keeley. Her character is almost too loveable and her style is just terrible (in my opinion), I am pretty sure I have worn some of her same outfits back in the 90s. Sometimes I just don’t like her.
So, you’re not entirely wrong there. They filmed the entire series of 10 episodes and Apple ordered 2 more. So that ep with the Christmas episode was what’s called a “filler” episode.
Apparently it was an homage to a Scorsese film that I haven’t seen and it was meant to provide some backstory to the mysterious Beard because I feel like he was always a stock character. But it’s definitely a divisive episode.
Good to know I wasn’t too far off base. And yeah, the Scorsese bit was lost on me!
I disliked the episode on my first watch, then liked it on the second. Knowing Beard’s backstory when he forgives Nate in season 3, helped me see Beard’s struggles with addiction and his neurodivergence. Re-watching Beard at Night felt like I got a glimpse of how Beard saw the world. I no longer saw him as the two-dimensional Mr-Know-It-All sidekick for Ted, but as someone who heard his own drum, for good, for bad, and for everything in between.
