Are there any likeable main characters left?

Yes, it's about hedge funders, so they're hardly going to be angels, but is it too much to ask for ONE person who isn't a total a-hole?

Chuck, Axe, Wags, and Dollar Bill have always been high on the punch-o-meter, but now they're joined by Wendy, Taylor (still kidding themself that they have any principles left), Connerty, the various underlings and second-tier characters, and the worst of the worst, Chuck Snr.

Mafee, Kate, and Axe's new girlfriend are tolerable but too outside of it to make much of a difference.

They're all getting so nasty now that I can only hope the show ends with ALL of them broke and sharing a cell.

I was going to post something like yours but you beat me to it...Lol
I still think Taylor is not as bad the rest of the characters, because of her conviction to help her father,
I don't think her character functions on emotions of revenge, but more pragmatic and not emotions of revenge.
The scene with Wendy and how she figured out that she is getting played and yet her reaction was very
calm and subtle; Taylor learns from her mistakes and then she moves on but Axe , Bill and Chuck thrive on revenge.
