    I hate that he was condescending to PC and willing to cheat on his wife but unwilling to divorce her. And I also hate that later on, despite the show having made us hate him, we are still able, if we try, to understand his side of the story and relate, in a way, to him

      Yep. Everyone hates when the asshole realizes he’s been an asshole before things go completely sideways and cleans his act up before any comeuppance. Personal growth is so aggravating… grrrr

        No but the thing is, there’s no really personal growth. He’s still kind of a dick to PC later on, he’s still pretty much the same. But at the same time we see his side of the story, so we have the fact that he’s an asshole but also the fact that he has a wife and kids whom he loves and needs to care for, so we hate him but we also can’t completely genuinely wish harm upon him, which is kind of frustrating but also very interesting
