"Veep" really leaned very hard into the idea of making EVERY character on the show unlikable. And yet, I really liked the show itself!
I think the idea that you have to be able to "like" characters in fiction for it to be good is wrong-headed. What you need is the characters to be compelling, not necessarily likable. I bet Veep hit that mark for you!
