Sure, heroes are great and they save the day, but what is it about a TV villain that we can’t get enough of? From Succession’s Kendall Roy and Breaking Bad’s Walter White to Veep’s Selina Meyer, the baddies tend to steal the show. Acclaimed writers Benjamin Law (The Family Law) and Melina Marchetta (Looking for Alibrandi) join The Chaser’s Chris Taylor to discuss what makes their favourite TV rogues and cringe-worthy wrongdoers so compelling in this riotous conversation that ranges from Fleabag to The Office.
