Characters
James · Alex Lawther · debut [S1E1✓]
A teenager who has convinced himself he is a psychopath — having killed animals in childhood — James initially targets Alyssa as a murder victim. Killing Koch in self-defense in Season 1 forces him to confront the truth: he feels guilt, not pleasure. Season 1 ends with him sacrificing himself to protect Alyssa, surviving a police shooting. In Season 2 he is recovering from his wound and the grief of losing both parents. By the finale he is capable of genuine love and empathy — extending compassion even to Bonnie — and the series closes on his relationship with Alyssa becoming reciprocal.
Alyssa · Jessica Barden · debut [S1E1✓]
Sharp, impulsive, and angry, Alyssa is escaping a home ruled by an emotionally absent mother and an abusive stepfather. She proposes the road trip that sets the story in motion. In Season 1 she gradually opens to James even while pushing him away. The night at Koch's house leaves her with lasting trauma. In Season 2 she makes a rash marriage to feel something, then leaves it, confronting her pattern of hurting people. The series ends with her returning to Koch's house to reclaim that place from her trauma, and choosing James with self-awareness rather than desperation.
Bonnie · Naomi Ackie · debut [S2E1✓]
A Season 2 addition, Bonnie is introduced through her own backstory: raised by a harsh, abusive mother, she became entangled with Professor Koch, who manipulated her into killing one of his other victims. She served prison time while Koch was alive, and learned of his death while incarcerated. Released two years later, she fixates on Alyssa as the person responsible and plans revenge. Her arc mirrors James and Alyssa's at a darker angle: she is what they might have become. When the truth of Koch's predatory nature is finally made clear to her, her vendetta collapses. She attempts suicide; James and Alyssa intervene. By the finale she is in custody and has confessed, freeing the protagonists from further legal jeopardy.
Eunice Noon · Gemma Whelan · debut [S1~]
A detective assigned to the Koch murder investigation alongside partner Teri Darego. Dogged and committed to a manslaughter rather than murder charge for James and Alyssa, she pursues them across the season. In the finale she is knocked unconscious by Alyssa during the beach standoff.
Leslie · Steve Oram · debut [S1E7~]
Alyssa's estranged, small-time drug-dealer father. She sought him out on the road trip hoping for connection. He offers brief shelter but ultimately betrays James and Alyssa to the police for a reward, exposing the hollow reality of his parental feeling.
