* In {{Series/Breaking Bad}}, Walter “Flynn” White Jr. is the most moral person in Walt’s immediate family not counting the Schraders .

* In ''Series/{{Chernobyl}}'', Boris Shcherbina is probably the most benevolent portrayal of a Soviet government official in an American production. While the majority of the local officials only care about dodging blame and try to hush everything up, Shcherbina pushes the government to get every resource necessary to contain the disaster. At the end of the series, Legasov assures Shcherbina that his role was the most significant of all because the Kremlin somehow sent the ''one good man.''
* In ''Series/CobraKai'', both Robby and Kenny Payne become this for the titular dojo once it's been taken over by John Kreese and Terry Silver. Robby is a fierce fighter and is out to win by any means necessary, but doesn't subscribe to the sink-or-swim leave-the-weak-behind mentality of the others and genuinely cares for the well-being of his teammates, especially the young Kenny who he takes under his wing to train, protect, and comfort. Kenny is a small, but swift, and very young kid who just wants to be able to protect himself against bullies and basically just had the misfortune of being sent to Cobra Kai by his brother (who knows Robby) rather than going to Miyagi-Do or Eagle Fang which would have done much better for him. [[spoiler:Kenny goes from a nice innocent kid to a [[FaceHeelTurn vicious, cackling, gloating bully]] in no time, which [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone gives Robby enough of a crisis of conscience]] that he ends up sobbing in his father's arms, lamenting just how hard it is to mentor someone, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything how he tried his best to look out for the kid but just couldn't do it]], and how [[TearJerker he's just so sick of being full of hate]]]].
* In ''Series/{{Continuum}}'', Detective Carlos Fonnegra. His partner (the main character) is a well-intentioned fascist, DaChief has sold out to the corporations, the PlayfulHacker is a traitor, and the only other detectives given any time in the spotlight are uncomfortably fond of PoliceBrutality, but throughout the show Carlos remains good, decent, and loyal.

* Moss from ''Series/TheITCrowd'' is definitely this for the main trio. Although he is comically dorky and socially inept, compared to Roy and Jen whom are utterly self-serving and jerky (often to UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist levels) Moss is a genuine NiceGuy who can’t even swear, he says “flip” instead of “fuck” and while he does have moments of being bad it’s almost always spurred on by Roy and Jen’s influence.

*** DJ Sagara seems to be this for the Ygdrassil organization as a whole. While he does work for them, he does help Kouta from time to time, even breaking him out of an Ygdrassil holding cell and providing him with multiple power ups. [[spoiler: Appears is the right word here, as Sagara is the BigBad of the show and a godly entity who causes an apocalypse that would cause civilization to collapse. The reason why Sagara helped Kouta is because he doesn't like one side having all the cards in hand in dealing with the apocalypse.]]

* In ''Series/{{Friends}}'' Joey and to a lesser extent Phoebe are easily the most cheerfully friendly of the main six characters and aren’t as so hell bent on actively messing up their own and other people’s lives as Chandler, Ross, Rachel and Monica are. They most definitely have their rudely selfish traits and bad moments but are still far less jerky overall. The fact they’re both so child-like even compared to the other four is a factor in this.

** Kevan Lannister, compared to the rest of Tywin's bannermen. He's the brother who inherited some of Lord Tytos' mild traits.
* [[spoiler:Glenn]] of ''Series/TheGoodPlace'' is a demon who delights in torturing humans condemned to [[{{Hell}} the Bad Place]] but when learning that the system of sorting humans in the afterlife has become so screwed up that [[EasyRoadToHell literally everyone in the last 500 years has been damned]] he is the only member of the Bad Place demons who does ''not'' want to cheat a test that could reform the system because he actually ''wants'' to ensure that those subject to torment deserve it.

** Vir Cotto is the only prominent Centauri who doesn't subscribe to either {{Realpolitik}} or FantasticRacism, and ends up being [[MagnificentBastard Londo Mollari]]'s (largely ineffective) MoralityPet.

* Kryten ''Series/RedDwarf'' being a BenevolentAI is this among the main four Dwarfers, as he completely lacks the lazy, vindictive and narcissistic traits of Lister, Rimmer and Cat and is generally friendly and docile (barring episodes like “Polymorph” where he gets his guilt removed). Unfortunately this results in poor Kryten getting frequently manipulated mercilessly by the MagnificentBastard that is Rimmer into doing his bidding, something he always deeply apologetic for: “I had to obey him. It's in my programming to obey all humans. ''No matter how insane.''” Funnily enough Lister wants Kryten to avert this, teaching him to lie and insult people thinking he will defenceless otherwise which does result in Kryten being more flawed though regardless he’s still easily the nicest crew member onboard.

* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'': In the first six seasons, the bad guys worked under Dark Spector and were part of the United Alliance of Evil. None of them were actually good, but [[Series/PowerRangersInSpace Astronema]] was the only BigBad of the group to [[EvenEvilHasStandards show some humanity]] and bordered on being an AntiVillain in the first half of ''In Space'' even before her FaceHeelTurn (subverted late in the season when she becomes BrainwashedAndCrazy). She's only marginally less cruel than Rita, Zedd, Master Vile, King Mondo, and Divatox, but she's twice as effective and showed less of a dismissive attitude towards collateral damage.
