LEAD. The Vibe: Bruce Willis in Die Hard, but he’s fighting boredom instead of terrorists. He wears a tight polo with a white tank top underneath. He treats a noise complaint like a hostage situation. The Arc: Starts as a lonely, paranoid man who uses "The Job" to avoid feelings. Over the season, he learns that the "suspect" (Manny) is actually the best friend he never knew he needed.
LEAD. The Vibe: Impossibly handsome, soulful, and graceful. Think Pedro Pascal or Oscar Isaac living in a school bus. He fixes sinks for elderly women who just want his company. The Arc: Starts as a survivor doing whatever it takes to keep gas in his bus. Through his friendship with John, he learns to stop hiding and let people help him for a change.
LEAD. The Vibe: A local news anchor who takes himself WAY too seriously. Think Anchorman but with a budget of $12. Bad toupee, spray tan, and a deep desire to be Walter Cronkite. The Arc: Desperate for respect and a Peabody Award. He goes from reporting fake "fluff" pieces to accidentally uncovering real town corruption (while still worrying about his hair).
The Vibe: Gen Z field reporter. Filming on an iPhone 12 with a cheap mic. She is chaotic, ambitious, and the only one who actually knows how the internet works. The Arc: Starts as an unpaid intern exploited by Rick. Ends up breaking the biggest story of the year and becoming the true voice of the town.
The Vibe: The exhausted IT guy. Wears band T-shirts and headphones. He runs the camera, sound, and graphics all at once. The Arc: The silent backbone of the show who finally snaps (comedically) and demands credit.
The Vibe: A beach bum legend. Leather skin, shell necklaces, plays the steel drum. He’s seen it all. The Arc: The Greek Chorus of the show. He provides the soundtrack and the wisdom.

Golden Retriever energy. Big muscles, no thoughts. (Improv heavy).
The only competent cop. Perpetually disappointed. (Improv heavy).
The Lifer. Just here for the donuts. (Improv heavy).
