S2 E09 - Ten Thirteen - Help me understand Meg's character
Post Body

Ok seriously trying to enjoy this show, but a lot of the characters just seem to have no motivation for their actions and make zero sense as believable humans.

The fake grenade on the bus of kids ? like ok your just evil and mean because her mom died ????? I can not wrap my head around why she does ANYTHING she is doing, none of her actions make any sense, and she just seems like a poorly written character without reason behind any of her actions.

Her weird relationship with Tom and taking him on a road trip like wtf is going on ?

I understand Kevin and Nora, they seem like believable real people who's actions and motivations are understandable and I can connect with their characters, but man some of this writing just seems like utter nonsense.

Meg just seems like a one dimensional bad guy with no reasons for anything she is doing, her character makes zero sense as a believable human being.

Even crazy people still have motivation for their actions.

What am I missing here ?

Comments

The character’s grief in this show is a gigantic motivating factor for 99.999% of their actions, you seem to have missed this when being dismissive of her mother dying the way she did not being able to grieve for her.
