Is Rust Cohle a good character?

he helps the other good characters thru the door

Absolutely not. He's a Mary Sueperman who can do literally anything BUT JUST HAS TO LUB JEEZUS.

Only a good character once you realize you're not supposed to not take him seriously. Too many people thought that he was supposed to be some enlightened individual but he's not. He's an idiot.

He wasn't nihilistic.

He's basically a poor Schopenhauer, and by that account he is very much enlightened.

I hope you aren't representative of the average HBO-viewer.

Belated thanks to Smick for the stream last.

I own the fucking thing but I'd rather get my Rust on comfy streaming when I come home drunk.
