On paper, Chelsea is interesting. But the story (or lack thereof) and the acting (at times) leave a lot to be desired. BTG is really handicapped by the NAACP seemingly only wanting respectable negros onscreen. Chelsea should've been a mess from the start, not pivoting from her partying. She's just a parrot of whatever is going on. She could've relapsed after being kidnapped. She and Naomi are the weakest of the younger female leads.
I want everyone to have a job in this bad economy, but you should be able to do your job. AA is horrific. Recast or send him to an actor's boot camp.
On the other end of the spectrum, Timon Durrett is perfection as the charming but unrepentant Bill. As with Kat, I think his characterization is by accident since most of the men on the show are soft and worship whatever woman they're with. It really is a woman's fever dream in the writer's room but TD injects Bill with some needed alpha male energy, tempers it in a way that only a seasoned actor can. He's not a cartoon like Leslie or raging like Martin, which I appreciate.
Bill is my favorite male character on the show, despite being a jerk, and the dull pattern that he's in with Hayley.
