The cast doesn’t sound great “on paper”, but give ‘em a chance - there was definitely some though put into the choices. Jack Quaid is apparently busy distancing himself from his crazy-ass family IRL, and he seems to draw on it for Hughie (a pretty good boost of authenticity). Casting Usher as A-Train was smart for authenticity too - the Seven (and probably most supes in their world) are mostly performers and live their lives like one of those old VH1 Behind the Music episodes, so Usher can relate. Karl Urban’s a damn good actor, though I suppose the Kiwis get to see him a lot more than we do so he kind of flies under the radar. Unlike the Star Trek shows, his over-the-top swearing and crude language is very believable. I’m not as familiar with the others, but I’ve watched everything up til now and everyone’s been at least good, if not great, except one - the guy who plays Deep is mostly good, but sometimes he seems to slip out of character. That could be the writers trying to demonstrate how limp and weak he is, though, and not actually the actor, and it’s not a frequent thing.
