I don’t think it’s an American vs. British thing, British characters are often a lot more flawed, but that doesn’t stop the protagonist from being likable.
Dave Lister on Red Dwarf is a bum, and ultimately very flawed, but beneath all that he is essentially a good person, you could even argue that he is heroic.

I prefer murals of Asian Jesus personally.

Jesus is always Asian, he was born there lol. Plus he could've walked all over the place if he wanted, might have, very bad records all around. Then again I suppose in his thirties he gained the power to walk on water so maybe he did walk over to the Americas. However, most people agree Jesus was a generally good dude and combined with his claims of omniscience, he would know better than to do such a cruel thing like introduce what he knew would eventually become Paul's awful religion.

Even things from much earlier like the Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin or Porridge or Rising Damp or all sorts of things are all about "Look at how poo poo these people are".
Lister is an Everyman Hero in his way, pretty different from what you'd usually get.

Always Sunny is one of the few US shows I think that follows our traditions of comedy rather than US ones.

I'm a parasitic landlord that needs to get a job instead of stealing worker's money. Make sure to remind me when I post.

Trailer for Apple TV's adaption of the Blake Crouch novel, Dark Matter. While this is a multiverse story if it follows the book it'll tackle some interesting consequences of infinite universes.

I just finished the book less than a half hour ago, and this looks great. Got some exposition-giving characters to tell the streaming audiences what was in Jason's thoughts, and there are a lot of flashes of scenes straight from the book. The major difference seems to be giving Daniela her own agency and story while Jason's doing his thing. Really, really curious how they're going to do the third act.

Yeah kind of looks like there will be more check ins with the family than the book.
