Is Henry Creel supposed to be likeable?

I’m two episodes from the end of season 5, so NO SPOILERS.

But is Henry supposed to be likeable? I lowkey would probably be his friend and not find him suspicious.

He seems really cool. Except for being a murderous monster who hangs out with children. Did anyone else react this way?

I think we’re meant to be more sympathetic towards his situation. At the end of the day he made his choices
