Russell Tovey did an excellent job, but even before that, Young John was a fascinating character. He WAS selfish, but he ended up letting go of his love for Little Dorrit to be the most important researcher for Mr. Panks in order to help her become wealthy and leave the prison AND he is the one who finally shocks Clennam into reality. He's a sentimental and ridiculous character, but he truly does what is best for Little Dorrit because he truly loves her.
(But I agree about poor May. I'm always so disgusted by "WE HAVE EPIC LOVE SO YOU ARE A B*** FOR WANTING ME TO STAY FAITHFUL, WIFE!!!!!" stories. Finding Neverland was like that, too. Ugh!)
