I can see how Michael could be a tragic character!

I think my dislike is partly due to how he's portrayed in the first season. And also my growing intolerance for people who keep wanting to be seen as nice or right or good when not being willing to actually do the things that would make them such. And also passive aggressive people always shifting the blame elsewhere.

Um, yeeeaaaaah.... he just manages to hit my personal button really, really hard.

I do mean to keep watching though!
