They’re all flawed to different degrees but Roger Sterling had some great zingers.

Those are aspects that make it interesting, so I'd argue it's not "but the best
of them are deeply, deeply flawed."

Characters need flaws.

So were the SAMCRO members on Sons. Hard to root for those people when they were truly scum of the earth.

Did she actually bring back being attracted to *real* women into non black society? I think she did.

Peggy is a terrible person and one of my least favorite characters in TV history.

Burt Cooper was a good enough guy

Been a while, but I seem to remember Ginsberg being a good dude.

Ken Cosgrove, the married version, is a good guy.

Lane tried to be a good guy, but Don corrupted him when they went to the hand job theater (hiyawacha kazawaka) and then bought him that hooker. After that, he started banging that black girl and embezzled. A fall from grace if I’ve ever seen one.
