Monroe, (and later Rosalee), Hank and Wu were all good 'supporting' characters who each brought something to the show. Sean Rennard was a typical screen 'baddie' you never knew which way he would jump on any issue, as he always had his own agenda! I am a massive fan of horror/suspense films, so this filled in a gap for me, watching one episode per day via a streaming device.

As you reminded me of it, we're bingeing it, too--and I've been reminded about just how much I
really disliked the Juliette character. I mean, what a boat anchor. The girl has a
fantastic smile, I'll give her that, but my cat is a better thespian. And her character is just whingeing, constantly. We're at the bit where she's lost her memory (due to a curse/spell cast by the witch) and I seriously want to throttle her. I think we're meant to feel sorry for her, to root for her, but I keep wishing she'd pack her bags and leave, despite already knowing that she doesn't.
I concur, though, that Wu, Monroe and Rosalee are terrific. Without Monroe, I never would have stuck with the show. Claire Coffee plays a pretty terrific bad girl in the first few seasons--the kind of enemy where you think "Sean, just kill her, for crying out loud!" LOL. The actor that plays Sean Renard is also top-notch. And it doesn't hurt that he's handsome, either, and for a taller woman like myself, TALL. You know, properly man-sized, rather than the Tom Cruise-sized Hollywood cadre. (I remember howls from female fans when they all learned that Russell Crowe is, shall we say, vertically-challenged?)
