To have entertainment you need drama, to have drama you need conflict. A main character being an asshole creates conflict which creates drama which is entertaining.
Well, it is sure is me that i do not like drama.
Soap series bore me to death. Being difficult for being difficult is the worst trait that could be passed on in humans...
I watched all seasons of House and recently i started with Dexter. I am now at season 2 of Dexter and i noticed he is becoming more of an asshole. Just ass House did. What is it with the screenwriters to make the main character go down hill ?
Most shows are just updates of old shows. When it is not a blatant remake like Hawaii Five 0. I think House is just Quincy M.E. updated.I have just started binge watching House & sorry but the man is brilliant but he is an asshole right from the start IMHO. Sorry but I know a lot of Doctors in real life & even the worst, most egotistical surgeons don't hold a candle to this guy
I found the Rita character not really annoying, she is a sweetheart.are the explanation for her being a sort of bipolar in emotional behavior. Not easy to cope with i guess but maybe worth it in the end.She tries to protect her kids and has some emotional luggage from her previous idiot husband. Her mother and her husband
Breaking bad i still have to see. Everybody says it is great, but i found the first two episodes to be boring. But my colleague mentioned it gets better after a few episodes.
Which plot hole for which show?

Sometimes the opposite happens. A character goes from one dimensional caricature to fully fleshed out. Higgins on Magnum P.I. is a good example. As the seasons went on, and I got to know him and his background, he became my favorite character. He had that same gentlemen warrior thing Capt. Picard embodied so well.
They are both medical mystery dramas/formula. Particulars are unimportant.Quincy examined corpses House diagnoses diseases in living people.
