Yeah, he's clearly an awkward relic of their attempt to focus the show on an ~everyman~ POV character instead of just being in Magnus' or other existing team members' POV, which turns out to work a lot better. He does have one pretty good episode in s1, and he's tolerable in s2, and then suddenly, a personality!
(I mean, he spends a LOT of time before that with his shirt off and sometimes his pants, which I appreciate on an abstract political level, but...it's like he's literally made out of whitebread.)
