If one of the characters were convicted criminal the show would have been interesting
This was one of my theories when I started watching the show, and honestly deep down I was hoping the story would give us a plot twist like that. A character who seems innocent, sweet is actually an offender in real life and since they got another chance to live in another world they are trying to better themselves. Or, hell, they start sabotaging others because they are a disguised psychopath. Caine would seem like the obvious villain but the real bad guy is among the circus members themselves. Who would be that character, I'd pick Pomni, since her backstory is barely revealed until the end.
I guess I wanted that Don't Hug Me I'm Scared or Black Mirror vibe. But alas. They're only just a dream now.
