Top 10 TV Anti-Heroes
VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton
They make bad look oh-so-good. The anti-hero walks a thin line between hero and villain – and often crosses well over into devilish territory. In the last few years, television has fully embraced the anti-hero, building several hugely successful shows around the bad-guy-good-guy. In honor of the return of "Breaking Bad" for the second half of its final season on August 11th, 2013, http://www.WatchMojo.com counts down our picks for the top 10 TV anti-heroes. For this list, we've chosen unethical TV show protagonists who make bad choices and do bad things – usually with selfish motives – but somehow, we cheer them on time and time again.
