[Fish Sandwich]

I feel like something about Faiz that isn't pointed out nearly enough is that it's a show about emotionally damaged people. Nearly every single main character has some kind of traumatic backstory that directly explains their usual decision making process.

I can absolutely sympathize with people who find the melodrama too much (or too cheap), but I've never viewed Faiz's characterization as being particularly arbitrary. The guy who transforms using a cell phone has communication issues. That kind of irony can't be accidental.
