      Agreed. And this is coming from someone whose favorite character on the show is John Locke - the one whom Jack butted heads with the most. Jack certainly has many flaws, but that's true of most of the characters (a key reason why they were chosen as candidates). I almost never find myself truly disliking him as a character. And I agree that his character arc is one of the greatest ever - eventually becoming the character that John Locke once was and admitting that he had been right about everything, wishing he could've told him that. That was definitely a surprising start to the list...

    The entire main cast of Seinfeld.
    For every group of people they encounter in each episode, they take it upon themselves to openly criticize and mock others for often immutable traits. And while that is meant to be part of the comedy (and it works for that), this is not a qualify for a 'good' person. It would be like going on a date with a girl who openly admits that she thinks she is above you because your facial proportions aren't 100% symmetrical, and that gives her right to talk down to you; not only that, but that she makes fun of your sexual preferences and kinks with her entire family.
    And when Jerry, George and Elaine are occasionally called out for this kind of behavior, they don't strive to better themselves, judging others for surface-level imperfections and possible insecurities. One week later, and they're back to heckling another person, like a high school bully who never learned to grow out of the taunting phase.
    Great show, but reprehensible characters.

    A few snubs, because there are many examples. Including:
    1. The Miranda Sings character from Haters Back Off. Much like Fred Fighlehorn, Miranda was an awful character when she was on UA-cam, but giving her a Netflix show was an extremely awful idea, and that’s not even getting into her recent controversies. So awful.
    2. Debby Ryan’s character from the truly awful Netflix show Insatiable. She was just terrible.
    3. It pains me to say this because I was an avid fan of the character Jack Bauer on the classic show 24. After the original show went off the air in 2010 I, like many other 24 fans, watched the entire series quite a few times until the announcement of the reboot 24: Live Another Day and that show was incredible. But shortly after that went off the air, when it was announced that the show was being rebooted yet again with all new characters. I love Corey Hawkins. Straight Outta Compton and In the Heights were both amazing watches but I just didn’t care for his character on 24: Legacy. Chalk it up to the impossibility to replace Jack Bauer because he is a great character, but Hawkins bored the shit out of me. There’s nothing quite like Bauer yelling all the time and his “don’t give a f*ck attitude”, but those were some huge shoes to fill and unfortunately Hawkins couldn’t replicate what made the original such a beloved series.
    3. I know it’s only live-action characters, but Mindy Kaling’s character on the MAX streaming series Velma. God, just atrocious.

    All of These “ Main characters” Of their own shows are all poorly written because of Poor excuse for writers! Let me make a list about what to do with main characters.
    10. If a character has got to have flaws, make sure to bring childhood trauma or severe abuse to humble them, especially at an early age.
    2. If the main character gets to unbearable, kill that character of to replace it with the another.
    3. Start them all off as loaners so they will eventually grow to Earn friends.
    4. Give them no love interests.
    5. In order for the main character to redeem themselves, they should sacrifice their lives to save the other characters to earn respect.
    6. The main male character should be a proud, Career minded single man that doesn’t need a woman to complete his life.
    7. The main female character should always get friend zoned.
    8. Make sure the main character fights, the antagonist alone, they don’t need any help… Until a character will actually care for another because actions speak louder than words when it comes to real friendship.
