In no particular order...

1. Steve Harrington from Stranger Things
"He was terrible in the first season, but his friendship with Dustin and the gang in the later seasons is so genuine; he's had a good redemption arc."

Omg Adam was AWFUL season one of Girls!! Still awful later, just less so. I really want to do a rewatch at some point, I loved that show even though almost everyone was terrible.

Steve's a good one, as is Jamie Tartt. And Jaime Lannister... I'm disappointed by what the show did with him in the end, but god I loved Jaime & Brienne.

Adam is well acted but always a weird creep, like literally everyone on that show.

I hated how so often times on the show men were used as the voice of reason on Girls. Like a lot of mansplaining in a way that wasn't supposed to be viewed as mansplaining?

I haven't watched since it aired originally, so I may be forgetting things, but I feel like they made Adam and Ray and Desi and Christopher Abbott's character look ridiculous all the time, too? So I guess I was taking things they were saying with a grain of salt because they were all messes in their own way.

Adam was a really rich but flawed character, I wouldn’t say he’s redeemed though given his relationship with Jessa lol. I would argue that marnie and Hannah redeem themselves more than anyone else.

I’ve rewatched it recently and honestly it’s a fun watch still. I do think the writing is great and it’s pretty funny at times. I don’t think the characters are written to be likeable which I think sometimes people don’t pick up on.

Jamie Tartt! So true! I really like him now!

*trigger warning - I don't know how to make a spoiler cut.

Adam full on raped someone on season 3 of Girls; How do people think he got better is beyond me.
