Yes, I tend to be most interested in redemption stories in extreme/fantasy where it involves something I probably WOULDN'T be inclined to forgive in real life (and possibly am skeptical that a person really would be able to come back from in a psychologically realistic story). But that's often the appeal of the fictional/fantastic approach, and it's not a sign that I condone the action but rather the opposite. Otherwise, who cares about the redemption.

(I think I'm just repeating what we've both already said, oops -- but also, yes.)
