Cooper’s entire world revolves around impressing major league scouts so he can enlist and support a family he’s always supported. Of all the characters, Cooper is the one to lose the most by joining the Murder Club, both because of his athletic potential and the fact that he’s gay (and doesn’t go out for most of the time). duration of the first season). That theme continues in season two, and the stakes are much higher when he’s involved in an actual murder.

Simon’s untimely death in the pilot episode prompted him to leave the show before viewers had a chance to get to know him better.

For the most part, he’s one of the worst teen villains on TV because of his destructive posts on About That, but despite this, some like Janae and Maeve see the good. in him.
The way Simon runs his rumor mill is impressive, especially considering the level of manipulation and tricks he uses to get interesting secrets about his classmates. Simon is a double hearted man, he blackmails some and trades secrets with others to get the best content for his app. Unfortunately, he trusted the wrong person, which eventually led to his death.
8 Vanessa
Vanessa may look like another pretentious, rich, famous girl from Bayview High, and while she is, she still has a lot going on in her head.

While Simon’s death had the biggest impact on the Bayview Four’s life, it was also the catalyst for some major changes in Janee’s life.

On the surface, Addy is nothing more than a beautiful, famous girl dating a gypsy. Even the media that covered Simon’s murder called her the beautiful girl of the group.

She became one of the film’s best teenage characters.
Initially, Jack intended to convict her of murder, but as he tells Cooper in the end, “Unfortunately no one thinks she’s smart enough to come up with a plan half as good as mine. “, so he blamed Nate instead. However, it turns out that Eddie has more insight than Jack, and everyone else compliments her. She continues to be an underrated threat in season 2, when she finds the connection between Gisele and Jack before anyone else.
5 Bronwyn
Before entering that fateful captivity, Bronwyn was little more than the top of her class, a promising valedictorian and a perfect fit for the typical good girl image in teen movies. Like everyone else at the Murder Club, her life changes dramatically after Simon’s death and the ensuing investigation. Instead of focusing on getting good grades, she spends her time looking for evidence to justify herself and her new friend.
Bronwyn’s sharp mind proved useful outside of the classroom, as they searched for clues. Her tenacity also causes her to continue to fight for Nate’s release, even after he is arrested and everyone believes him to be the killer. However, while Bronwyn is smart about the books, she’s not always that smart on the street, which is why she gets into some pretty dangerous situations in season two that almost cost them all. free.

After his role in Simon’s death was revealed, all sympathy for him vanished during the season’s finale.
In addition to changing people’s perception of him, the news also shows Jack’s intelligence.

He may be a convincing mastermind, but he’s not smart enough to outmaneuver the Murder Club.

Fiona may seem sweet and innocent, but she’s clearly the mastermind behind Simon Says. Not only that, she was also Jack’s right-hand man in the “About That” reboot after Simon’s death. Clever and hungry for revenge for those she loves, Fiona will stop at nothing to bring down the Murder Club once and for all.
