20 Magnificent Male TV Characters from 2017
7. Doc Holliday (Wynonna Earp)
John Henry “Doc” Holliday is a charmer who likes to play dangerously, and in Wynonna Earp Season 2, he won all our hearts with a note that read “I’m all in.”
His protectiveness of the Earp sisters and bromance with Jeremy are the perfect mix to his awkwardness in the 21st century. Doc has a quick wit, big heart, and all around bad-ass. He’s an impressive gunslinger, and while we still have much to learn about him, he’s one of the best!
8. Sam Gardner (Atypical)
Sam is your average teenager. He wants to experience everything that high school has to offer, especially the dating part. The only problem is he struggles to understand anything that isn’t black and white, so emotions and social interactions are out.
With the help of his therapist and his sex-crazed co-worker best friend, Sam learns that autism doesn’t have to define him or limit him from being just like everyone else. His inspiring journey through the ins and outs of dating has everyone rooting for him. He brings heart and soul to the whole dynamic of Atypical.
9. Steve Harrington (Stranger Things)
Steve Harrington makes his transition from Stranger Things Season 1 where he’s the misunderstood jerk, to Season 2 where he’s the character that everyone falls in love with. One thing’s for sure, Steve Harrington would be a great choice for a babysitter.
10. Kevin Finn (Kevin (Probably) Saves the World)
In today’s world, heroes come in all forms. They don’t all don capes or have superpowers. Enter Kevin Finn.
After surviving a suicide attempt, he moves in with his sister and her daughter, Reese. That’s when a messenger from God, Yvette, tells him he is one of the righteous and destined to save the world. So Kevin embarks on a journey of finding out why he’s the only moral soul left, there should be a total of 36.
Along the way, he stumbles through becoming a better version of himself. His story captures your heart because he gives a bit of hope to all that they too are destined for greatness. No matter how screwed up they think they are.
11. Marcus Kane (The 100)
Talk about character development! Falling to Earth, falling in love, and adopting about 50 new kids has really been a good look for Kane. In The 100 Season 4, we truly see how far Kane has come since the beginning, as the end of the world forces him to face the things he did on the Ark.
His continuing romance with Abby, and his growing love for every human being has changed him from soldier to peacekeeper. There’s no one we’d trust more to maintain Grounder-Skaikru relations in the bunker, we just hope he’s been successful in that 6 year time jump!
12. Harvey Specter (Suits)
Harvey Specter, played by Gabriel Macht, is genuine, devilishly handsome, and can rock the socks off any court case thrown his way. Harvey has a confident attitude that allows him to take charge anywhere he goes.

One thought on “20 Magnificent Male TV Characters from 2017”
I love Scott McCall, too. Tyler Posey did such an amazing job portraying him, and I’m so happy to have gotten a chance to see both him and Scott grow into their own. Scott is one of my fave male characters of all time. ❤️
