The main characters, ranked by sympathy
station eleven is one of the best post-apocalyptic series to air recently, focusing not so much on the apocalypse itself, but on the ability of those ensuing from it to rebuild their lives. One of the show’s greatest strengths, in fact, are its characters, all of whom are people who demonstrate that the human mind can’t be so easily mastered.
Plus, they all show different shades of sympathy, as they deal with the fallout from a flu that killed nearly everyone in the country. Even in the aftermath of the apocalypse, people are still capable of kindness.
ten Miranda
Although she only appears in a few episodes of the series, Miranda makes a strong impression. She has a steely strength that makes her difficult to understand but, at the same time, she also comes across as a likeable character in her own right.
This is largely due to the fact that she has an artistic genius that allows her to create the novel station eleven, which becomes a key text for all those who manage to survive the flu.
9 Clark Thompson
Clark is one of the characters that helps make this one of the best sci-fi dramas of the past two years. He is also a kind of contradiction, because while he is very subtle and intelligent, there is also a hardness in him which, at times, makes him hard to like.
At the same time, he also shows a softer side, especially in his dealings with his partners, which demonstrates that, beneath his often ruthless exterior, he has a tender heart.
8 Tyler/The Prophet
For most series, the man known as the Prophet is something of an enigma, hovering at the edge of the story. It gradually becomes clear, however, that he has endured quite a bit of trauma in his life and that helps explain his ruthlessness.
Nevertheless, the fact that he is so determined to destroy everything that has been rebuilt from the old world makes him one of the least likable characters in the series, as he is willing to sacrifice almost anyone. who on the altar of his vision of what the world should look like. He gradually emerges as a highly intelligent sci-fi villain.
seven Kirsten
Mackenzie Davis has played many great roles and Kirsten is absolutely among her best work. Like many others, she has suffered greatly during the pandemic.
At the same time, she shows that she is a relatively sympathetic character, especially since she plays such an important role in the Traveling Symphony. She also demonstrates that she can be quite ruthless when the need arises, such as when she stabs the Prophet lest he steal her friend, Alexandra.
6 Sarah / The Conductor
There are few characters in station eleven just as weird as Sarah, also known as The Conductor. She is the creative genius behind the Traveling Symphony and, as such, is one of the main contributors to its continued success.
She also shows that she is one of the most likable characters in the series because, despite the fact that she can be demanding and imperious at times, she always opens up the Symphony to anyone who wishes to join them (notably Kirsten, who ‘she finds alone and wandering in the desert).
5 Elizabeth
At the start of the series, Elizabeth is a little cold and distant, but as the story progresses, she shows that she is also a very endearing character. She remains very loyal to her troubled son, Tyler, and she also demonstrates that she is capable of changing as the post-pandemic world unfolds.
Unlike Clark, who refuses to change in the face of different circumstances, Elizabeth reveals that she has a softer side when it comes to the residents of the old airport, as well as the Traveling Symphony.
4 Jeevan Chaudhary
Every sci-fi series needs its heroic and good characters, and Jeevan is one of the heroes of this series. He shows this in particular by the fact that he welcomes Kirsten after the play and, subsequently, offers her accommodation in his brother’s sumptuous apartment.
While he has his issues and flaws, the fact remains that he’s one of the most likable characters on the show and when the time comes, he’ll be the kind of person who will always fight for those he loves.
3 Frank Chaudhary
Like his brother, Frank Chaudhary is a contradiction. On the one hand, he is a very intelligent and compassionate person but, on the other hand, there is a cynicism and darkness in his mind that he sometimes struggles to overcome.
In the end, he demonstrates that he’s one of the most likable characters as he’s willing to sacrifice his life so Jeevan and Kirsten can escape the apartment and start a new life. His presence continues to cast a shadow over them, even after their escape.
2 Arthur Leander
Gael Garcia Bernal has been in a number of big movies and TV shows, and it’s clear that station eleven will be among his best works.
Though he only appears sporadically, there’s something inherently likable about Arthur Leander, an actor determined to live his life his way. Moreover, he demonstrates that he is one of those people who manages to charm everyone who enters his orbit, which explains why he is a successful movie star.
1 alexandra
Alexandra is part of the first generation of children born after the pandemic. Although she is one of the series’ minor characters, she constantly shows that she is also one of its friendliest.
She has an infectious enthusiasm for the world, both the one before her and the one she currently inhabits. And, while she can be a little rebellious at times, this ultimately contributes to her innate appeal and charisma.
