Margo's Friend Susie Finds Unexpected Ally in Jinx
17 Apr
Summary
- Susie discovers an unexpected friendship with Margo's father, Jinx.
- Jinx's character shows vulnerability and courage, which Susie admires.
- Susie's quirky nature and design skills are celebrated in the show.
Thaddea Graham, who plays Susie in "Margo's Got Money Troubles," discussed her character's evolving relationship with Margo's father, Jinx, played by Nick Offerman. Susie is initially taken aback when Jinx appears at their apartment in episode three, but she soon recognizes his underlying humanity and courage.
Graham described Jinx as a childhood hero to Susie, noting the unexpected but open and courageous friendship that develops between them. This bond becomes a vital part of the support system for Margo. Susie's own introduction in the series is linked to an old video of Jinx wrestling.
Graham also highlighted Susie's unique qualities, embracing her quirky, weird, and nerdy aspects as strengths to be celebrated. This contrasts with the source novel, where Susie's connection to wrestling is less pronounced, but the performance element translates well for the TV adaptation. Offerman humorously encouraged young viewers to embrace their quirks.
