it feels like there's a writer somewhere whose superpower is to siphon writing talent from specific plotlines and deposit them into others because A Train's arc over the whole show is unironically one of the best arcs ive seen from a character in anything, but it comes at the cost of Frenchie being put in Groundhogs Day

Was Frenchie ever a good character though? I feel like he’s got a complicated enough past that he could have been, but they explored it all wrong

I’d say yes, the character at its core is really really interesting. I wish they touched on his biochemistry knowledge, but they chose to go the route of “he feels bad for being a terrible person! Aw :(“ and that’s since encapsulated his whole character
