Hi.
Hope you’re all doing well.
For me, Dr. Gregory House was such a captivating, flawed character for several seasons on House despite the fact he is constantly insulting and degrading his subordinates, patients, bosses, women… everyone, really.
I won’t spoil it by going into specifics as a recent show, but Jackson Lamb on Slow Horses also fits this archetype really enjoy what Gary Oldman is doing with it.
Any characters who fit this archetype you actually enjoy not as people but as TV show characters the way they’re written and performed?
