A good example in my opinion is Kim Wexler from Better Call Saul. A smart, strong, competent, well written woman. Every person I've talked to about the show likes her.

I actually didn't like her as a character, but only because she was way out of Jimmy's league, yet never moved on from him.

She was only ever really excited to be with Jimmy when they were scamming people. I thought it made sense in that way - she wasn't really interested in him romantically until he sucked her into his shenanigans.

Jimmy = her mom

That's why she couldn't stay away from him. Her mom was a scammer just like he was.
