One of the things about all creatures great and small that makes me want to chew metal is how Tristan and Siegfried quickly transcend the stereotypical archetypes they seem to fit at the beginning to reveal two complex characters with one of the most nuanced familial relationships I've seen on tv.

Tristan is introduced as the lazy younger brother who doesn't apply himself and doesn't take responsibility even if it harms others, while Siegfried is the gruff, controlling older brother who is constantly trying to change his sibling.

But even in as season 1 progresses, we see them as so much more. Tristan desperately wants Siegfried's affection and approval, but he's afraid to try for fear he'll never measure up to Siegfried's exacting standards. He's genuinely confused about his place in the world and lacks confidence in his abilities and struggles with book learning. He acts out a bit at the beginning when he first meets James; he thinks Siegfried is finally getting the brother he always wanted— one he isn't disappointed in! But Tristan has a massive heart— he quickly warms up to and befriends James and grows more comfortable with Siegfried and James' relationship.

And Siegfried— their father died young and he believed it was his duty to fill that role for Tristan. He's terrified that he messed Tristan up, and takes out those fears on him. In his mind, if Tristan is a failure, then he is a failure, and his sacrifices have been in vain. Part of him resents Tristan's ability to lollygag because that was never something he had the luxury of doing, as he had to take care of Tristan. And Siegfried is so focused on being a veterinarian, he defines success for Tristan as being a good vet without considering his aptitude or interest. Also, he's very aware of mortality given the loss of his parents and his wife, and he worries Tristan wouldn't be able to stand on his own two feet if something were to happen to him. But even though he can be hard on Tristan, everything Siegfried does is because he loves Tristan so much— he genuinely wants the best for him— and would sacrifice everything for him.

All of this is just in season one. Siegfried and Tristan get 4 other seasons of development.
