As the title says, who had the best character development of any TV series? I nominate Roland Prezbelski from The Wire
In the course of 5 seasons he...
> Is the most incompetent cop of the department, is passed around from unit to unit and is clumsy as hell. He has never been discharged because his father in law is senior cop Valchek who protects him
> fires his weapons indoors by accident and blinds a teenager by pistol whipping him while drunk
> is confined to the office because of his repeated fuck ups, it's only there where he starts cracking a paper trail out of boredom, thus becoming valuable
> stands up to his father in law and punches him when he is berated by him, which nearly has him fired again
> accidentally kills a black cop when he fails to properly identify himself as a PO. This causes a shit storm and causes him to quit out of guilt.
> Starts work as a high school teacher, which has a rocky start for him and isn't expected to last. He see's the schools flaws but adapts.
> Slowly gains respect from his students, is shown to actually care for them and Dukie in particular, who he provides food and laundry for since his family neglects him.
> Completes his circle and becomes Robin Williams, basically a fully respected and dedicated teacher who looks out for the well being of his students and wants to see his kids succeed.
