TV (albeit adult TV) is much better at this. Many of the most popular shows feature antiheroes/flawed characters. You know what they're doing is bad/wrong and yet you're rooting for them anyway. Ironically I'm not sure it makes a difference. I think in a kind of perverse voyeuristic way people like to live through them, but stay safe in the knowledge that they "could never do that". Like the kind of excitement you got from being around the naughty kid at school, without actually risking getting in trouble.
