Hmm well a lot of people do love Jesse and are very protective over him. And I'm sure tons of people like/love various Mad Men characters (but probs not Don Draper). And there's a huge love affair over Dany and every Stark and Tyrion Lannister (and Cersei and Jaime etc etc) over on Game of Thrones. I'm pretty sure we're supposed to love Carrie Mathison. But yeah overall I agree, on BB, Dexter, True Detective, HoC etc, I do think their primary objective is not trying to make us fall in love with the characters, or at least it seems the case.
Okay don't shoot me but before this past week of episodes, I decided that this season of The Good Wife in my eyes was unparalleled in quality. Since it's network it's still semi-based on 'case of the week' which can be problematic for a lot of shows but although I get more enjoyment and love and passion from The Americans, I really think this season of The Good Wife is the best quality wise (directing, acting, writing) - but again I reiterate I will revoke this statement depending on the rest of the season which I am equal parts dreading and equal parts foaming-at-the-mouth-in-anticipation.
