Taylor Swift might sing on her new album Midnights that it “must be exhausting always rooting for the antihero” — but we all know watching them never, ever gets old.

The new song “Anti-Hero” (and its corresponding music video) conjures everything TV and movie lovers know about the antihero character: an outsider brimming with inner turmoil, staring directly at the sun but never in the mirror.

If the track has you itching to spend time with a few more antiheroes, look no further — we’ve rounded up seven shows and movies with those complicated characters you love to root for … even if you know you maybe shouldn’t. (You can also check out the Antiheroes and Outsiders category for even more.)

You

Just call him a “London Boy.” When You returns for Season 4 next year, Penn Badgley’s murdering, stalking, inner-monologuing character Joe Goldberg is heading across the pond — and it remains to be seen how many of those tendencies make the trip with him. We’ll find out exactly what Joe (now a college professor using the alias Jonathan Moore) gets up to next when Part 1 of the new season premieres Feb. 10.

Breaking Bad

When you look up “antihero” in the dictionary, don’t be surprised if it directs you to “W” for Walter White. Bryan Cranston’s performance as the chemistry teacher-turned-meth kingpin is one for the Complicated Characters Hall of Fame — as is his cohort Jesse Pinkman, as played by Aaron Paul, who you can see even more of in 2019’s El Camino.

Ozark

This gritty, acclaimed series might start with Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman) as the main “bad” guy — thanks largely to his ties to a drug cartel and his skill at money laundering — but one of the most entrancing things about Ozark is how the dirty business eventually envelops everyone around him, including wife Wendy (Laura Linney), over the show’s four seasons.

The Gray Man

Ryan Gosling stars as a shadowy CIA agent — morally “gray,” if you will — who has to go on the run after uncovering some damning agency secrets. That puts him in the crosshairs of a rogue operative played by Chris Evans, who chases Gosling’s character across the globe. (We won’t blame you if you’d want to get caught in this scenario.)
