Love-able Dastardly Charlatans

In other words, shows with characters with less savory occupations that you can't help to love. Whether it be they are actually sweet hearts or the character is just that well written you like them even though you shouldn't. 

I'm going to mostly skip the actual antagonists, because if a villain is written correctly they should still have some "redeeming" quality to them... and mainly focus on main characters (This is a sub genre that I love >.<)

    What do you get when you cross a leader of an assassin group turned ex-assassin and an infamous leader of mayhem makers and mass murders?  Why romance of course :D <3. I MEAN BROTHERHOOD. YES, BROTHERHOOD IS WHAT IT'S CALLED WHEN YOU QUOTE LOVE POETRY TO THE OTHER NONE STOP AND COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER'S FEATURES AND CALL EACH OTHER SOULMATES. CAUSE YOU ARE BROTHER SOULMATES, YEP >.> <.< >.> who would think otherwise?

    (apparently what they call each other isn't necessarily romantic (course neither is soulmate technically) it's just that 1/100000000 person who you connect with and can be yourself with and will always be there for(... which... is more romantic than anything else honestly lol)

    This show is VERY morally ambiguous. You aren't following heroes, you are definitely following anti-heroes that have their own sense of justice and rules they follow.
