So I recently started watching an older show called The Shield. For those who don't know it, the protagonist is an anti-hero. He does bad things, he's probably a bad person, but he's an effective cop and is shown being the cause of good things even though he himself is very, very bad.
Which got me thinking -- why does that particular character type appeal to so many Americans (myself among 'em)? And while I'm at it, all you not-yanks out there -- does that character enjoy the same popularity in your cultures of origin, or is this a US thing?
Curious.
