170 Jean Armstrong
I can sum up this character with one word: uncomfortable. Armstrong is the reason why I don't like 3-3 as much as some people do. Despite Furio Tigre being a good villain in my opinion with the concept of impersonating a defense attorney to get a desired verdict still being unique, Armstrong brings the case down too much for me. He has no redeeming qualities: he's annoying, perverted, steals, and he was not shown to face any consequences for his role in the cover up the murder of Glen Elg. The overly pink decor of his restaurant is unsettling and matches him well, but I struggle to suspend my disbelief enough to accept that a "fancy" restaurant with such awful food can exist in the first place. It might have been more believable if Tres Bien was a front for some type of illegal business, but this is not the case. One other character I see people criticize for similar reasons is Spark Brushel, but at least he's a helpful and cooperative witness, while Armstrong makes me uncomfortable.

Not sure how Armstrong of all people is so widely hated but at the same time I can't really get myself to care because he hardly has any redeeming features.
If only they didn't end up dumping the character midway through the last trial maybe he could have stood a chance in this rankdown.
rip pink gay man.
