So bad, it’s good.
One of the first rules of storytelling is: Create likable protagonists.
Now, what does that say about us?
Two and Half Men / Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl
Friends are supposed to ride or die, right?
Are their morals as flexible as Silly Putty?
Are they subscribing to the same psychopathic yuppie tendencies as Patrick Bateman?
The CW
Mind you, their parents arent any better.
Succession
Oh, boy!
Where to start here?
FX
The Roy family boasts narcissists, liars, and cheaters and those are the good ones.
It isnt only the Roys who are the worst people inSuccession.
Look at Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen) as a prime example.
HBO
It works for him, though, as he manages to outmaneuver everyone in this corporate game of thrones.
Lets look at the main characters first.
Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) thinks only about himself and his needs.
CBS
Alan is no better.
For Jake (Angus T. Jones)?
He cares only about whats in the fridge and who buys him the best things.
Matters dont improve when Walden Schmidt (Ashton Kutcher) buys Charlies house.
The supporting characters arent any better inTwo and a Half Men.
The Office
Look, dealing with people in a business setting is tough as is.
Now, think aboutDunder Mifflin inThe Officefor a second and see how prevalent this is from top to bottom.
The cherry on the cake, though?
The characters inThe Officeare the absolute worst co-workers and people ever.
