There’s always that one character that a TV show keeps telling us is a good guy. Maybe they’re the moral compass of the show, or maybe they serve in contrast to a bad boy character, or maybe the show just wants us to see them as the boy next door.
But no matter how much the other characters applaud his virtues, sometimes the show just can’t quite hide that one of their male leads is absolutely insufferable. Here are 17 infuriating examples!
