My favorite stories are redemption stories. As for TV shows and most movies, if there aren't genuinely likable characters, I usually can't watch. I never got the interest in the Oceans movies. I haven't watched Mean Girls simply because the name was a turn off. Why would I want to watch a movie about mean girls?

Seinfeld was the exception to that rule, though. But I like dark humor, and was lured to the show originally because I liked his standup routines.
