10 Times Great TV Shows Got the Wrong Person as Main Character
Right person, wrong place — that's what we can say about the main characters of these shows.
They're not bad, they're just not suitable to be at the forefront of a story and would work better as someone on the sidelines.
If you think that the main character of the show shouldn't be leading it, it doesn't mean that the show itself is bad. Sometimes it's just the fact that the character has been so confined in the stencil that the screenwriter created for them that they became way too artificial and unrelatable, forced to stay that way and never grow while the other cast was allowed to change and develop throughout the course of the show.
It may be intentional, and sometimes it works, but quite often it just puts someone unlikable at the front of the story and it makes people less inclined to follow it. Other times, they have way too rapid development which makes them unrealistic and, once again, unrelatable.
On the one hand, seeing the flawed character may be interesting, but on the other hand, it should be executed in the right way with proper motivations — and if it isn't, then it's just simply weird.
