The other characters just existed to fulfill their stories - eg Twisty and his mom for Dandy, Meep and Dell for Jimmy, and so on.
Violent death was a really overused event throughout the season and it was weird that stuff always got ratcheted up to a 10. "Problem? Solve it with murder!" Like, even seemingly rational and normal characters like Paul suddenly became bloodthirsty sociopaths, it was kind of jarring. Ima Wiggles goes from a middle class girl stuck in fat camp to chasing Stanley around with a knife in just two episodes. And while they had just seen their friends killed, it was still impossible to emphathise with Jimmy, Desiree and the twins as they ate popcorn watching Dandy drown. The original message of "You think we're freaks but we're not monsters" rang hollow. Maybe that was the point, maybe they are the monsters they claim not to be and maybe Dandy's killing spree was the payoff of "Live by the sword, die by the sword". I don't know. It wasn't really coherently executed if it was.
...just realised I randomly rambled xD Sorry folks! I still enjoyed it.
