Get your red hot bastards here

[hafital]

So, as I continue with Life on Mars, I find myself ruminating on glorious bastards and their curious appeal. I can think of two right off the bat: Al Swearengen and Gene Hunt. What are others? Characters who, really, you probably should run away from if you ever met in person but who are still inexplicably (or explicably) hot. Roger Lococco? So that's three. Any others?

(Personally, I think Gene Hunt is a right old teddy bear in comparison to both Al and Roger, but then I'm only two episodes in to LoM. DO NOT SPOIL ME.)
