Similarly, the roles of his wife and daughter feel out of place in the show
For someone so focused on his goals, the inclusion of an emotionally unstable one-woman circus completely undermines the show’s purpose. Her character seems to detract from the central narrative, adding unnecessary chaos rather than furthering his journey. The portrayal doesn’t enhance the plot, but rather makes it harder to take his determination and focus seriously.
Rather than enhancing the momentum of the plot or character, this approach feels like a superficial attention-grabbing tactic
The wife comes across as emotionally erratic, while the daughter seems to lack intellectual depth, making her contributions to the plot negligible. The portrayal of the daughter feels particularly shallow, as her character offers little beyond a superficial engagement that adds no value to the story. Furthermore, when these characters constantly jump around in provocative clothing, seemingly for no purpose other than to attract attention, it feels out of sync with the tone of the show.
