    Tyrion because I didn't give him a single vote in the Game of Thrones tournament and I felt bad about that. Also, I've never seen Mindhunter

    Adebisi gets the nod purely for his hat-wearing ability alone.

    Michael Knight was frequently upstaged by a car.

    Trinity - that season of Dexter was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. If the series had ended after that point it might have gone down as one of the best TV Shows ever made. Lithgow was superb and the character was delightfully evil

    Not a vote (obviously) but it is actually one of the best seasons of a TV show ever imo and the whole show suffered as a result of trying to chase that brilliance in subsequent seasons

    Arthur - a chilling SOB if ever there was one. Lithgow such a great actor too. Can go from something like 3rd Rock to something like Dexter and be brilliant in both.

    A tie at the buzzer with Trigger tying it up at 4-4


    Ok so my natural instinct is to vote for Trinity Killer here as I'm more familiar with the character and, as I said previously it made fantastic television.


    HOWEVER....

    Due to longevity DCI Jane Tennison is getting my vote here. 7 Seasons is better than 1 in terms of character development.

    Jane Tennison advances 5-4 with my vote.

    McNulty because the only interesting things Beverly ever did was have sex with a ghost and it was very disturbing and bad, but McNulty got s**t done and he was an arrogant yet loveable little s**t
