Does anyone else actually like E?

I didnt like him for the first few seasons, but he eventually grew on me. Now im rewatching the series and I genuinely like the character. He's the most honorable guy of the group, and the instances where he does get hotheaded are usually just a result of other people trying to screw with him. I like that he's an average joe who, despite relying heavily on Vince's connections, is also on his own path to make it in the business. I would actually say that the show is about HIM climbing the Hollywood ladder rather than Vince. Sort of like how Seinfeld is actually about George, who was also the most developed character despite coming off as abrasive

I also thought the scene in the movie where he's on drugs was really amusing for some reason

I only started watching yesterday (episodes aren't too long so ive already seen first two seasons) and so far Eric is really the only one of the four I really find 'likeable' in any way. Johnny isn't bad either but I really don't like the other two (especially Turtle)

I watched every episode from scratch over the last few days.
Initially I liked Drama the most, and the guy playing 'Ari' kind of stole the show from an acting point of view fairly early on.

E seems to get a fairly negative reaction from what i've read on various threads, but I quite like his character.
He's quite funny and I don't see much to dislike.

I think peoples problem with him is that they think it's unrealistic to see a very short guy who is average looking banging 10's whenever he wants too, and similarly, I don't think people liked it when he played the tough guy (again, given his diminutive stature.)

So, yeah. I quite liked him. I quite like them all. Turtle is possibly my least favourite but I still think he's OK.

Youre right about the height thing. Thats such a dumb reason to dislike him tho, short guys get 10's all the time if they have status and money.

I see E as the most sensible of the bunch. He tries to get Vince to make the right decisions, like staying with Aquaman among other things.

E's definitely my favorite. To me he's the only one of the four leads who can be a decent human being for longer than five seconds at a time. I like Turtle, too, mostly for the comic relief. Drama is annoying and one-note and I absolutely cannot stand Vince. I get that he's the star or whatever but man, what a pompous little prick.

I found him to be the most likable character.

I don't understand the hate for E on the show. He was always my favorite ..... he was the sound minded one that kept shot together. He wasn't perfect, but, he always seemed to try.
