He's an interesting character, but he's not scary or threatening. As the main antagonist, he's like a 90's Saturday morning cartoon villain which the heroes fight every week but they never actually take him that seriously.

He's in a position of power and he's calculating, bad-tempered, and impulsive. That alone makes him an effective villain. Consider that he is literally trying to emulate Darth Vader but falls short in many respects, primarily because he's trying too hard. There's no telling what he'll do to prove himself.

But it definitely speaks to the inexperience of his main targets as well. Even after everything, Rey tells him it's not too late, when he is far more dangerous alive than dead, period.

Like the whole Finn and Rose misadventures subplot?

Eh that wasn't terrible, it was cool to get to see Canto Bight, but honestly? The codebreaker character was totally useless. Could have probably removed him entirely. It would've been cool if BB-8 jacked a ship alone to help them escape.
