* EnforcedTrope on ''Series/TheGoodPlace'', which focuses on four deceased humans who are [[spoiler:given an IronicHell]]: asocial loner Eleanor Shellstrop, vain socialite Tahani Al-Jamil, clueless petty criminal Jason Mendoza, and dithering academic Chidi Anagonye. They all get better over time to the point that they are put in charge of recreating the initial circumstances that led to their changes with four other humans. The toughest nut to crack is Brent, a chauvinistic businessman who is as selfish as Eleanor was, as privileged as Tahani was, and as dumb as Jason was, and as self-aware as Chidi was not, with none of their redeeming characteristics and no desire to change. The DistantFinale shows that [[spoiler:even after several centuries of torture, he still hasn't made it into the real Good Place, though he seems to be making small improvements.]]

* In the first season of ''Series/StrangerThings'', Steve Harrington is a JerkJock who's disliked by most of the main cast. But Joe Keery's portrayal led him to be percieved as a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, and the character was rewritten to be friendlier and see his misoginy and bullying as an OldShame. The following season introduced Billy Hargrove, Steve's rival in the basketball court, all around JerkAss and BigBrotherBully to Max. Billy is not without redeeming qualities, since his violent behavior is a consequence of the abuse he suffers in the hands of his violent father, and he eventually recieves RedemptionEqualsDeath by sacrificing himself protecting Max. Following his death, Jason Carver is a second replacement character, although he comes from a different background - while Billy was a LowerClassLout who was open about his criminal behavior, Jason is a religious preppy kid who accuses Mike and his friends of being violent criminals.
