The Characters
Molly: I’ve seen my fair share of upbeat shows, so I know of the dreaded trope of the bubbly and always smiling female main character, and although Molly might seem just that at first it quickly becomes obvious that this is just a way for her to cope with having to move so much and having to leave behind so many friendships. She also surprisingly is prone to give up on things when she feels she has done all she could, which is actually refreshing in these types of characters. Plus she is just plain fun to watch, her dialogue is energetic without being annoying and her relationship with Scratch and Libby is very heartwarming.
Scratch: I’ve heard people say that Scratch is the weakest part of this show and I couldn’t disagree more, he is a really good blend of rude and sincere, with him also needing to balance his work life as a ghost with his new life with his new friend, and as the series goes on and he learns to warm up to Molly he becomes extremely likeable, which is made extremely easier by the great voice acting behind him.
Libby: Molly’s second friend she makes in Brighton, a very shy girl with a love for turtles and that enjoys every second of her time with Molly just as Molly does with her, another very heartwarming friendships that spawns some very funny moments.
The McGee family: They aren’t really explored apart from a few episodes each but they are all nice people that want to do their best to become a part of Brighton’s community while also welcoming with open arms Scratch as part of their family.
Andrea: Pretty standard rich and popular girl that actually just wants her parents to care for her, nothing too different from Pacifica in the first seasons of gravity falls, but I expect more from her in season 2.
