A day late and a dollar short, but I just started watching Rutherford Falls, and oh my god, I CANNOT STAND NATHAN RUTHERFORD!
He is so utterly unlikable. I hate that he's a main character. I have zero empathy for him, and he's The Worst.
Terry, however, is The Best.

My favourite character on Rutherford Falls is Terry Thomas because he is the essential “in order to hunt monsters, I must become the monster, even if it alienates me from everyone around me, for only I can make the monstrous sacrifice their safety requires” except the evil here is capitalism. He realizes capitalism is destroying his community so he figures out how to be a capitalist, run a successful casino to funnel money back into his tribe, and then alienates his daughter who can’t understand why he can’t see the value in doing things for free. In some ways he has become the monster he swore to fight, and yet, he isn’t, is he? Can no one see that this is sacrifice? Work? But of course not! Because they are safe, how could they know the full extent of the evil that would lurk without him?
But also like, he’s just a CEO of a casino in a small town and the stakes are not that high and no one dies.
This is literally one of my favourite archetypes but its usually either so fantastical or violent that it makes no sense in a sitcom, but this? This is gold. The whole show should be about him

I am an Indigenous woman and I support all Indigenous actors, writers, athletes, singers, etc., representation matters!
If you have not already, I HIGHLY encourage you to watch the following two shows that are written, produced, acted and support crew by Indigenous peoples. Reservation Dogs (season 2 premiere this fall) and Rutherford Falls (season 2 premiers this Friday!). Comedic genius, both shows!

Please, please, go watch this fantastic show! It's the first Native American comedy and it's very much at risk getting cancelled. Peacock is absolute shit at promoting it. Please help save this show!
