I know they’re kiiiind of actually bad guys, but …
Jamie Dornan as killer Paul Spector on The Fall
Anne Helen Petersen: There’s that horrible scene with the babysitter... that’s also so strangely erotic? I can’t. I’m so grossed out at myself for finding him hot.
Arianna Rebolini: I’ve never seen The Fall but WOW do I want to start now. So he’s a psychopathic serial killer? But is he sensitive underneath it all? He looks like he might be sensitive underneath it all. Like has anyone just tried really talking to him? Very dreamy.
Katie Heaney: He is definitely, definitely not sensitive underneath it all. He is ... ahhh, nevermind, I was going to say he is "rock hard underneath it all," because of his abs, I'm sorry. He is horrifying. Like one of the worst murderers I've seen on TV, and I watch a lot of crime dramas. He is also, without question, the most beautiful.
Julie Gerstein: I have an ex that looks like a less attractive and slightly less sociopathic version of Jamie Dornan's character in this show, and so I'm partial to Paul, a little, I guess. Also, DEM ABS.

Mads Mikkelsen as cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter, Hannibal
AR: Yes. No question. His hair is terrible (also he kills and eats people) but his cheekbones are razor sharp, he has a refined culinary intuition, and his accent is intoxicating.
KH: When you told me that people find Hannibal hot — as Hannibal; obviously Mads Mikkelsen is a handsome dude with unreal bone structure — I was very scandalized. His hair on the show is so weird and murder-y. And I hate his suits. And also he EATS PEOPLE.
AHP: I can't with the floppy hair.
JG: He has dead fish eyes, which women find deeply appealing for some reason.

Idris Elba as drug lord Stringer Bell on The Wire
AR: This is SO DIFFICULT because Idris Elba is basically a living deity but Stringer Bell is just so unforgivable. Like, fine, Hannibal, yes, you kill and eat people but Stringer has little baby Wallace killed? Nope. Can't do it. Can't.
KH: Arianna, you need to get your priorities in line. I haven't seen The Wire, so, I'm biased obviously, but I know that I care less about whatever crimes he's guilty of than I do Hannibal's, or most crimes in general. He is just spectacular.
JG: It's OK, Arianna, because he later redeemed himself as LUUUUUUTHER.
AHP: Something unspeakably hot when he insists on Robert's Rules of Order during the drug kingpins meetings.

Michael C. Hall as vigilante Dexter Morgan Dexter
AR: I’m starting to get alarmed about how many murderers I would justify getting with, but Dexter only kills other killers so it’s like he’s not even a killer at all. He’s basically Batman. Beautiful, ginger Batman.
KH: Totally. Everyone knows that a criminal who does their crime in service of the greater good is totally legit and bangable. (THIS IS A JOKE!) (Mostly.) (Haha, is it????) It's like Robin Hood. I would do Robin Hood and I would do Dexter.
JG: Dexter's a killer with a code. A killer with a heart of gold. A real killer's killer, if you will.
AHP: But YOU GUYS, in real life he was sleeping with the woman who played his sister. All sexiness killed.
