Best Television Characters of the 21st Century

Totally my opinion, of course, and I'll be honest: I haven't watched "The Wire" (too stressful) or "Succession" (too angry) or "Severance" (too weird), LOL. I acknowledge that they are excellence in television, I just don't know any of the characters. This is an eclectic list cuz I'm an eclectic watcher. And I'm absolutely certain that I left off characters and shows. Sigh.
