I feel BTG is more of a character driven show with a sprinkle of plot. Everyday we're getting to know the characters better and threads are being sown consistently. We've had the big reveal Eva was Ted's daughter, we discovered Martin's secret, we found out what happened to The Articulette's and Dana/Leslie being Barbara's daughter and now Anita's battle with cancer. Those are big revelations for a show that has only been on the air 13 months.
What I do find odd however, is that there are only 19 contract players and 30+ non-contract players. Is that because of the budget? Is it cheaper to have a heavily recurring cast as opposed to having to meet contract guarantees? I do respect that the show is committed to the contract cast they chose with only two changes (recasting Ted and making Ben Gavin non-contract), I feel that at some point they should focus on the characters that are working and put those actors on contract (Shanice/Joey/Izaih/Grayson/Kial/Tyrell/Samantha/Donnell/Deanna and I want Derek back on contract). I understand the show is literally still a work in progress and they are doing a lot right but I would focus on the contract players and limit the addition of new characters for awhile. That would be my only real suggestion to improve things at this point.
