Nicholas Galitzine: "IMMEDIATELY, there is some sort of sympathetic—simpatico ("a simpatico relationship") between Elliot and Sasha. Despite the fact that they come from very, very different worlds. I think they both kind of have almost an outsider mentality—in that—they grow very fond of each other (...) we [Elliot and Sasha] develop a strong bond immediately."
SASHA YAZZIE & ELLIOT LEFEVRE in CHAMBERS (2019)
Oh I'm so glad to see someone talking about Chambers! I really liked the show overall but Elliott's character just broke my heart. At first I felt kind of intrigued by him because clearly there was supposed to be some kind of darkness to him but by the end I just wanted to grab him and take him away someplace safe. That scene in the 5th episode with that counselor guy (I forget his name) makes me so mad. I know the guy turned out to be a villain but it really annoyed me how he was so cold and condescending to Elliot. You can really tell that Elliot is really just a kid who's going through hell and has nobody in his corner. Even his mom seems to be kind of distant from his despite being the nicest adult in his life. If we had gotten more of the show, I personally would have preferred Eliot and Sasha to stay friends and to see more of Elliot's relationship with his twin who his parents clearly favored

Yes! I absolutely agree with all of this!
The incredibly complicated relationship dynamics between Elliot and his parents were a really fascinating aspect to his story for me. There were some great scenes between Elliot and his mom that stuck out to me: the one in the car in episode 4 and the various POV scenes between them in episode 8 especially. Nicholas and Uma had such great familial chemistry. It's fun that they both ended up in RWRB years later!
And I also would've loved to see Elliott and Sasha getting time to really become friends. Kick some cult ass together. then maybe some group therapy for all.
Cliffhangers aside these shows had storylines that could have gone way longer than 2 seasons-- especially Timeless & Chambers, and Chambers onlt got ONE season.
I really hate corporations that so this, network television, and netflix. Stop cancelling your goos shows and stop cancelling on a CLIFFHANGER after it's third season. Some of may be due to a overall film budget but that's where profit comes in.
This edit was actually inspired by nbc cancelling MANIFEST, on a cliffhangers. Now you see why I'm a little heated. However, because the fans are so dedicated we may see one more season on netflix to resolve storylines. PRAYING HARD FOR THAT. MANIFESTING IT-- see, see what I did there (ahem)
