Three characters on Netflix who are the perfect green flags
Netflix has spun characters of all kinds – quirky, fun, emotional, tragic, chaotic, deceptive, and whatnot. Some characters are so iconic that fans would love to consider them their next-door neighbours, while others are so pathetic that even the fictional distance feels little in comparison. While red flags have always been part of life, let’s check out three ultimate characters on Netflix who aren’t just green flags but the entire forest.
They are so comforting that viewers feel they are next to family. So loyal, they could easily contest blood relations. It doesn’t take a lot to put them on a pedestal. If anything, they unknowingly become role models everyone looks up to.
Whether it’s kindness, empathy, or compassion, these Netflix characters feel like a page from a happy ending story. Selflessness is in their DNA. And dedication? It’s close to their second name. Even when nothing feels alright, these characters feel like a breath of fresh air.
Netflix’s home is not short of twisted characters who are anything but what they seem. However, here are three characters who will make you forget about the bad just with their positivity.
Three characters on Netflix who are the biggest green flags
Patrick Brewer from Schitt’s Creek
Emotionally available partners are mythical creatures. But somehow, Patrick Brewer ended up becoming the calm to David’s storm in Schitt’s Creek. He’s an incredible support for his partner. But his kindness is not reserved just for David. It’s inherent, not acquired. There’s an unusual sense of responsibility in him.
It’s not like he isn’t flawed. However, he learns from his mistakes, takes accountability, and that just adds to his positive vibes. He is not shy to apologise, nor does he hold back his feelings. And the best part? He loves most sincerely.
Robin Buckley from Stranger Things
Robin Buckley may come across as inherently awkward. But the Stranger Things character is one of the very few who owns it like a badge of honour. She is straightforward, honest, vulnerable, and incredibly real. Her friendship with Steve is one of the highlights of the Netflix series. She’s that one friend we all wish we had – unbelievably loyal and unimaginably supportive.
Robin is authentic and rare. She’s not pretentious, she doesn’t even have an ounce of red in her flag. And it’s completely alright that not everyone gets her. Because either way, she would always be that friend who listens, supports, and stands up for what’s right, even if it means a deadly showdown against the Russians or the Upside Down forces.
But one shouldn’t mistake her for a people pleaser. She’s not even a credit seeker. She just steps up every single time, unsaid. In fact, she’s very intelligent and still never mean. However, watch out for her hilarity because that’s a class apart.
Eric Effiong from Sex Education
Have you ever looked at a character and wished they were real? That’s something Eric Effiong gives off. The Sex Education character is a total green forest in every which way you see him. From embracing his sexuality and culture to conveying what it feels like to be emotionally mature, his screen time was nothing less than magic. He believes in communication and thinks before acting.
He’s one of the most grounded Netflix characters of all time. Rationality comes before impulse for him. Even though Otis may feel self-absorbed at times, Eric has always been his ride or die. Compassion is not even a trait within him; he is compassion itself. He sticks by his friends through thick and thin, holds them accountable from a place of love. And the best thing? He never stops evolving or learning. His joy and charm are infectious, to say the least.
