If you can't find a single character you appreciate among all those (mostly) really well-written shows, maybe you just don't like complex characters with flaws tbh. Breaking Bad and GoT I can understand because the murder makes it really hard to be sympathetic and those shows often hinge/d on shock value. But no show I've seen has deeper or more interesting character psychology than Mad Men, other than The Wire.

I'm very curious which ones you -do- like.

Not OP, but I don't think they're using "good" to mean "complex." They probably mean good in the sense of decent, kind, morally upright--and, to be fair, people who insisted on always being kind and fair and so on in most of these shows would end up very dead very quickly. Pragmatism saw most of the idealistic characters who survived compromise their principles to do so. I don't watch shows like these either, although Parks and Rec doesn't seem like it lumps in with the rest. TV is escapism for me, I don't need reminders that idealistic optimists get stomped on by life.

I can understand the escapism. For me, personally, characters are not fun to watch unless they have major, realistic flaws.

GoT goes a little too far with the "good people lose" concept, imo, to the point that it becomes predictable. But I think Mad Men and Breaking Bad have an even mix of good people winning and awful people winning.
