Theon Greyjoy = Underrated character

I'm so sick of Daenerys and Tyrion getting all the intention, even amongst book fans.
Theon is, in my opinion, the best and most tragic character in the entire A Song of Ice and Fire series.
He goes from being an arrogant Prince in the first and second books to being a broken and tortured man in the fifth book. I don't think enough people understand the complexity of his character enough, especially show fans, but book ones too.
It actually makes me angry how many people dismiss his character as being nothing more than a bad person. They tend to view him as being very one-dimensional, where he is anything but. He's actually one of the most fleshed out and well developed characters in the entire series.
Yes, he's a horrible human being in the second book, and even to a certain extent in the fifth one, but he develops and grows so much. It's hard not to feel sympathetic for him once you know his backstory and the torture he eventually goes through.
What do the fans of A Song of Ice and Fire here think of Theon?
And this is unrelated to literature, but the actor who plays him on the show is, in my opinion, the best actor on the show.
