Line 213:
** Don't you think that Dutch counts as good as well? The only morally dubious thing he did was {{spoiler|strangle that cat}} and {{spoiler|plant evidence, but he even took that back}}.
* ''[[Dexter]]''. The eponymous character is a serial killer. But, he only kills other killers, most of whom are even worse than him. (Likewise in the novels, as well as the serial killer in Bradley Denton's book "Blackburn", which is similar to Dexter (but earlier: 1993).
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'': The Cylons ''start out'' the conflict by killing fifty billion people in cold blood and nuclear fire after 40 years of refusing diplomatic overtures and do things like run reproductive experiments on female captives, but the Colonials are far from lily-white, particularly during the middle of the series. The vengeance-obsessed crew of one warship took civilian ships' parts for themselves and engaged in the rape of Cylons with the approval of their traumatised and maddened admiral, and resistance fighters engage in suicide bombing.
* ''[[Caprica]]'' is pretty much this. It plays with [[Gray and Grey Morality]] but the various players are a fundamentalist monotheistic terrorist group, a racist and corrupt gilded society, a ruthless crime syndicate "family," and a corporate CEO who's willing to enslave another race (albeit one he believes has no free will to begin with) in order to save his personal fortunes.
* Anything involving [[Complete Monster|Marlo Stanfield]] in ''[[The Wire]]'', which eventually results in two mostly good cops faking murders in order to bring him down.
