What are some shows with reverse character development? As in the in the beginning the characters are flawed but overall more or less decent or good people but progressively become shittier and shittier people?

How I Met Your Mother sans Marshall and Barney ironically enough
They don't acknowledge it though

Always Sunny, full stop.
They're always anti-social idiots on some level, but it gets worse every season. And it's great for it.
Jaxson Sanchez
Always sunny is different, you're never meant to believe the gang are decent people in any way and it does this amazingly.
Lincoln Long
good thread idea. bump.
Chase Moore
30 Rock for Jenna. She gets crazier and more vindictive
Henry Gomez
As far as movies, Hugh Jackman in The Prestige
Elijah Clark
Not really a tv show but Chief becomes more foul mouthed and dickish
Angel Sullivan
This is usually looked at as Flanderizing the characters or whatever.
Like just yesterday there was a thread of people bitching about how characters in TPB got dumber as the show went on.
I like the idea of reverse character development though. As long as it's on purpose and not just redundant bullshit because the writers couldn't think of how else to write the characters.
Cooper Sullivan
Bad Santa 2?
Wyatt Sullivan
Alan's only trait was being poor
Charlie was a coke addict
Jake joined a cult
What did you expect to happen?

Like with IASIP they don't start off as good people but they do get worse.
Nicholas Barnes
The Simpsons and Family Guy
Aiden Wright

Lily was such a piece of shit holy fuck
William Sanchez

Isaac Thompson

the 100 (but they do it soo well & intentionally)
jackie chan ... shit
Wyatt Barnes
the 100
>oprah winfrey shouting "everyone's getting ptsd"
Bentley Butler
What about him?
Adam Bell
Friends is a great example. Monica actually tries to con a woman out of her baby. I always found that scene more creepy than funny.
Logan Reed
Literally all sitcoms
Insert that jpg about character traits being gradually exaggerated into retardation
Austin Hill
what about characters who become real human beans
Isaiah Bell
>the 100 (but they do it soo well & intentionally)
Except for Bellamy's turn in season 3. That was just too rushed.
Ryder Rivera
>Began as a suave, charismatic, competent and charmingly competent do-gooder with a clear purpose in life.
>Became a wimpy, incompetent comic relief who whines every episode about his own uselessness and appears to be disliked by most of the team.
Anthony Sullivan
Why was Two and a Half Man so successful? Were the jokes and comedy really that good, or just Charlie being Charlie? Will there ever be a sitcom as famous and successful as this one?. At one point Charlie was earning close to 2mil per episode, and is still ranked as the most paid TV actor, even today's most popular shows like GoT don't pay their actors that much.

He meant that originally the gang were portrayed as more normal guys, which actually cared for the well being of their friends like we see in the episode "Charlie Has Cancer", but that under that, they were sociopaths.
Modern Sunny, they are straight up maniacs
Luke Gray
This. It was really killing my boner. She didn't deserve Marshall.
Bentley Green
He really was, Sup Forums forgive me for saying this, winning during that time.
Jacob Martinez
charlie sheen is one of the top heads of hollywoods pedophile ring
the shit h must have on pretty much all studio execs / producters / agents etc
even with with meltdown im surprised hes still not being forced on the public in some form
Bentley Price
Same with Arrested Development

30 Rock actually got better when its characters got flanderized.
Cooper Wilson
Bump
Ryan Nguyen
Jim and Pam from 'The Office'
Hunter Turner
This show is great
Gavin Morales
the normal, "relatable" characters revealed themselves to be antisocial, narcissistic plodders while the "annoying" and eccentric characters proved their value and personal merit throughout the course of the show. perhaps with the exception of daryl and toby
Julian Miller
Nightcrawler comes to mind
for tv, It's Always Sunny is exactly that.
Xavier Diaz
Lily was a piece of shit from the start of the show though. She walked out on Marshall and came back after he started getting dates
