Hey.
By “worst” I mean cruel, hurting other people (especially intentionally) and with disastrous consequences for others.
Breaking Bad is an obvious example with characters doing despicable things but even those often have a shades of grey element to them and there is some kind of rationalization. Same sort of thing with House M.D. where House especially does despicable things to his “friends” as well as to almost entirely human being he comes in contact with. It’s all about the puzzle for him and the ends justify the means no matter who he has to hurt or maker suffer to get there. But even he has some kind of rationalization for his behavior.
Then there’s sitcoms like Seinfeld, Friends and Parks and Rec where there’s constant poor behavior and often sociopathic tendencies to the characters. Even on Parks and Rec, Leslie is still joining in on the bullying of Garry/Jerry even though otherwise she’s a pretty admirable character.
What are the worst things you’ve seen a character do, especially to other people?
