Sims

I’m about to finish Dust. I have a million questions, mostly pertaining to choices that were made in the making of the show. Most of all, I am so confused by the choice to make Sims such a pivotal character in the show. And to cast Common of all people. Common makes great music. As an actor, he’s fine for certain roles. Whenever I watch the show (rewatching it now) nothing takes me out of that world more than the parts where Common (Sims) is barking orders or playing tough guy. In the books he’s hardly mentioned. But in the show, he’s a main character. Does anyone know how/why they took such liberties with the plot and casting? A lot of the casting is spot on but I feel like it was such a blunder to wrap the show around a character that is almost a throw away in the trilogy.
