I think he is, and mostly for all of the reasons you've mentioned. He's a complete and total disaster of a person, but he's an endearing disaster. Despite all the terrible ways he's treating people right now, he's such a pathetic guy that it's impossible to dislike him and in fact he becomes likable specifically because of his crazy behavior since it becomes so over the top.

it's also kind of crazy to think how fast this is all moving for him. In a lot of other shows, this development would take place over a more extended period of time, but so far this is only six episodes in! It always seems strange to me that a common complaint about Blade is that it has a slow start, because I feel like it moves at a pretty rapid pace.
