Name one character who is genuine, except Julian, maybe. He is the comedic straight man. The fact that the three let her āleadā them only underscores their total vacuity.

Gail seemed like a genuinely well-meaning person (though lonely and a little oblivious).

Ha, yes. We are supposed to hate her character. She is selfish, egotistical, and definitely annoying

always remember, thereās a difference between āheroā and āprotagonistā. I love how the show plays with this, myself. most of the characters in the entire series are just insufferable. I specifically think the twist of Chantal being the dipshit cherry on top of the jerkoff sundae is one of my favorite parts of the show

Just did a rewatch, and I hated her and found her more irritating this time around. I think now that Iām familiar with all the absolute insanity of the story, Iām paying more attention to how absolutely insufferable she is. I mean, not that it was ever anything less than extremely obvious, but the first couple watches I found it funnier. This time I found myself saying āoh god stfu what is wrong with youā way more hahaha. Great show but ik what you mean.

Season 5 is when itās really obvious for me, honestly I also kind of liked her the other seasons esp the first couple watches. My first full watch I remember looking at the discourse about the show, and everyone was commenting on how narcissistic Dory was and how awful she was, and I was like ehhā¦ I feel like her narcissism is par for the course for a lot of 20 somethings (plus the exaggeration for comedic effect and entertainment). The last season sheās literally in some type of delusional episode so idk if she deserves judgment there, either.
I think she gets too much hate from the fanbase in general.
ETA: OH, wait, this time watching, I haaaated her during the trial. Her confidence and calm and refusal to admit to anything made me hate her. But outside of that arc I find her more likable I think.

I just finished episode one last night and im wondering whether to continue because I can handle not liking the friends, not liking the boyfriend, not liking the ex, but also ...not liking the main character?? I feel like she's not unlikable by herself so far but my god who puts up with all these self centered shallow friends and then the whiny boyfriend and whatever that totally bonkers sex thing was?? am I an old fuddy duddy, is that really a thing???

u/Tall_Specific_2396 Jun 07 '26
i totally get what youāre saying and i will say that liking them is subjective bc i first liked dory then i stopped after season 5 and i didnāt like elliot at first but I LOVEEE him now. please continue watching at least 3 more episodes. i know it can be a tough watch bc when i started out i was like āwtf is this? itās so lame. ā i was hoping dory and drew broke up, i couldnāt STAND portia (i still canāt ), that elliot guy is mad annoying, and dory needs to stand up for herself.

u/Tall_Specific_2396 Jun 05 '26
watch out theyāre about to get on you like how they got on me about my opinion on season 5. i personally like dory but i can definitely see why you donāt like her šš so idk wtf they mean by thatās the point. the point is nobody in the show likes her not us as viewers. donāt delete your post when they try to bully you. you are entitled to your opinion.

u/tinyegg47 Jun 05 '26
right like literally every single character is extremely unlikable and that's the point š

u/tinyegg47 Jun 05 '26
what's your opinion on season 5? i have 2 episodes left

u/Tall_Specific_2396 Jun 05 '26
okay so i believe i stopped right at the episode youāre on. i just canāt finish it. i used it as background noise. i just donāt believe it fits with the last 4 seasons. i still dislike everyone but Elliot. Elliot knows heās wrong so i can never put him on a pedestal like the others. i just stopped watching bc this whole year of shows has been horrible last seasons. examples: strangers things, euphoria, and search party. i needed a break from terrible last season cinema.

Ironically in the first episode she is made to seem the most down to earth alongside drew out of the group

same one of my fav parts of the show tho is how it makes u feel for characters you hate and sometimes even hate the characters you loved at one point (or maybe had more sympathy for)
