While there are countless memorable lead characters from TV shows, there are also many cases where side characters were actually a lot more likable than the main one. Among the key elements for a successful TV show is having a main character that the audience can connect with in one way or another, but just as important as a show’s lead character are its secondary ones. Side characters either help push the arc of the main character forward, add conflict to the mix, or serve as support for the show’s lead, but more often than not, these side characters end up stealing the spotlight.
