To clarify, I don't hate John Dorie, but I also don't like John Dorie. I just find him....meh. Most of the characters introduced in S4+5 I've predominantly hated, but I know most people are saying Dorie is the best thing to happen to those 2 seasons. I don't see it. I find his character to be a bland, generic Morgan-esque nice guy, who occasionally does trickshots and won't stop going on about June. I don't get irritated every time he is on screen like I do with Althea, Morgan or Charlie. But, I don't feel attached to him.
Comparing him to characters like Nick, Jake, Travis. These were all characters that tried to be good people, but they were layered. They had faults and it felt like there were different sides to them. I don't get that with John. He feels really one-dimensional to me, and when compared to a lot of the characters from the previous seasons, he just doesn't interest me all that much.
Even Chris, who I hated, I felt more interested watching on-screen as I found the direction his story was going interesting. Since John found June, it seems as though they don't know what to do with his story. He has no flaws or issues to overcome. He's just a nice guy who wants to help everyone, which I feel we have enough of in FTWD at the moment.
