For me it’s Peggy from Mad Men. At first I thought she was going to be an annoyance but half way through the first season I’ve grown to absolutely love her!

    Syril Karn from Andor. From the very first scene he was in, I asked, “oh God, when’s this little fucker gonna die?” By the end of the show he was probably my favorite character.

      I wouldn’t call him my favorite, but I would call him unfortunately relatable.

      He has a lot of virtuous traits, like his flawless work ethic, willingness to trust people, and a genuine care for the wellbeing of individuals. His problem is mainly that the cause he serves is fascism.

      He’s blind to the empire’s flaws because he was sold on their lies. He assumed incorrectly that everyone else in the empire was as principled as he is, and so the rebels must be genuinely bad people because they are trying to destroy something he thinks is good.
