In film, because you know where the ending is, characters can change, but in television, you substitute revelation for change, and that can be hard to pull off.

I think of House as a deeply moral character, though some would no doubt argue with me. He does not judge. Beyond his normal tetchiness, there were no more than a half-dozen moments of actual condemnation from him. He understood lies and also why you lied, and there was an absolution there that is very, very appealing.

I think there is a basic comfort in clever people who know things.
