I was curious to see if anyone has any moments where a television character seemed like they were mischaracterized/misunderstood by the show’s writers. I feel like I’ve occasionally seen this happen with shows that have been on for awhile and they start forgetting why a character is the way that they are, even if it was highlighted at the beginning of the series. I want to specify that I don’t mean character arcs that were just disliked or unpopular. I mean times when a tv character went against their established principles or their reasoning was completely antithetical to their personality, as if the writers forgot how to write them or didn’t have any direction for the character. Or even for shock value.
