Is Shay Mitchell's Peach Salinger an aspirational Asian American lead? Absolutely not. But her mysterious and twisty character definitely holds on her own especially when her archnemesis is Penn Badgley's Joe, who's literally a *checks notes* serial killer. Born and bred in literary royalty (her last name is Salinger!), she's highly protective of — if not obsessive over — her best friend Beck and has strong suspicions about Joe. Her toxic cat and mouse game with Joe definitely works thanks to Mitchell's confident performance.
