Sorry, no - my pendulum doesn't swing that way,as it happens.
It's just a personal thing, and not that intense, really. You just sometimes encounter a person you dislike on sight and this is one of those times. It's not like I felt the need to mute the TV every time he comes on screen, as some people have said of some of the characters.
Gideon is definitely damaged goods. Badly bent and showing cracks right from the first time we meet him. I think it's his unshakable arrogance that gets to me, though. Even when he almost gets people killed, he's still chanting his mantra: "I did the right thing. I did the right thing."
And too, the first two seasons felt like 'Gideon and his supporting cast'. After Mandy bailed out, it became much more an ensemble show, which I think works better. YMMV, of course - each to his own taste, as they say.
