I hated Murphy in season 1 but I think the writers will make me change my mind.

Characters like Murphy are quite common on tv right: characters that do bad thing, anti-heroes. They mess up but there's always an explanation. There''s more than meets the eye. They aren't good or bad, they live in a grey zone and are complex. Definitely the most interesting characters.

Usually, it goes like this:

Step 1: be a dick (in Murphy's case, checked)

Step 2: mess up badly (in Murphy's case, checked more than once)

Step 3: give an explanation (checked)

Step 4: start your redemption process

Step 5: mess up again, badly

Step 6: repeat the other steps

And there you have it
