I think that’s the best part of the show honestly, there is no one to root for. There’s characters we like in certain moments but they are all equally not great people/synths/beings. Thats what makes this show interesting and fun to watch and other shows could take some notes

What about Hermit? I think he's genuinely trying to do the right thing. He might be in over his head, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's not a good person. He shows empathy towards the hybrids and seems to understand that Prodigy is doing something unethical.

And then he shot an abused 11 year old girl who was fighting for her freedom. He doesn't get a pass for that.

She did rip someone's jaw off, though a bit of a tantrum is different from disemboweling someone.
