Every Single Character Sucks (Spoilers)

I just finished season 1 on Netflix, and I must say that I've never been more intrigued by a show where every character is basically unlikeable in every way. Literally, every character is sucky...yet, I enjoyed this season immensely. It's very puzzling.

Q: I found his total lack of confidence in every aspect of his life (except for Fillory, of course) to be oddly endearing at first but, after the 3rd episode or so, it was so overwhelming that I just wanted to reach through the screen and shake him. That, and his random bouts of 'high and mighty-ness' made him a hot mess that I couldn't stand by the end of the series.

Julia: She traps her so-called best friend in a mental hospital (within his mind) and makes him think he's going crazy...knowing good and well that he's struggled with feeling crazy his whole entire life and has been in and out of mental hospitals since he was 16. This almost kills him. Sometime later, she writes him an "apology" letter saying that she's sorry, but he hurt her by not trying to get her into a school that already denied her because they felt she wasn't impressive enough. Fail.

Penny: I believe the word I'm looking for is "douche". For whatever reason, he immediately takes a disliking to Q and makes it blatantly obvious for the whole entire season...not only through his continual verbal smack down of Q, but also through his actions. He steals Q's book, spills beer on it, then throws it away, yet continuously lies about it, saying he never took it, for over half the season. Then, he has sex with Alice, fully knowing how Q felt about her seeing as though he's a psychic.

Alice: Convinces the gang to help her contact her brother, which results in the Beast coming to Earth through a portal, which results in him wreaking havoc and rendering the Dean of the school sightless and handless. Even still, she wants to keep trying to contact her brother... and eventually succeeds, finding out that he's no longer himself, but a magic fueled maniac. He tries to kill her, Quentin saves her by capturing her brother, and she tells him to F off. And oh yeah, she has sex with the guy who openly mocks and makes fun of the guy she has feelings for because he made a mistake when he was basically drugged and not in full control over his emotions/actions.

Margo/El: I'm just gonna lump these two together because that's how irrelevant they are to me. Two supposed "cool kids" who try waaayy too hard to be cool and are so emotionally and psychologically co-dependent on one another that they should both seek therapy...individually, though.

Kady: Honestly, she's probably the least sucky one of all to me. She has that played out "tortured, sexy, bad girl" thing going on which is annoying...but at least she has the capacity to forgive and take responsibility for her actions, which is more than I can say for any of the other characters.

I'm honestly dumbfounded by how many times I wanted to throat punch each and every character, yet...I still liked it??
