i'm kinda obsessed with this show not just because it's good (it's very good!), but because it feels, more like anything else that i'm watching, like one of the great ensemble dramas from the 90's.
Still working on this idea -- but if you have an ensemble comedy/drama -- a good way to see if you've developed characters well is "could you do an episode where a wizard/a gas leak/an amulet makes everyone act weird and have it be funny?"
pretty much every iteration of star trek did this a lot to great success also buffy. if you know and love the characters and there's an episode where everyone body swaps/acts weird/is uncharacteristically horny for each other and play it for laughs successfully, the writers have done their job
