Rather than killing because he was a sociopath, he had a killing compulsion, which he restricted to killing other serial killers. All the same, I understood the concern people has in the concept. (I know you didn't name Dexter).
In regards to staring narcissists, I don't like watching those either, such as Eastbound & Down, some episodes I watched only cause a buddy liked it... which creeped me out a little because I know it's one of his fantasies to treat everyone like subhuman.
Archer is also basically a narcissist hero, but it's a cartoon, and I can stand watching some of those only because it's pretty creative, I like the (older) popculture references, and usually funny, but it's also nonstop insult train, and if not usually low brow, it's submersively crass (I just made up that word, meaning it's always deep inescapably crass) which isn't generally my cup of tea.
