There's this recent sitcom about a guy who needs a kidney transplant and the female costar is the most irritating person on a show Ive seen in while.

Main characters in tv shows who just suck/you can't stand?
- Thread starter DragonSJG
- Start date
Yeah I always felt like she was supposed to be an "edgy" type of character. Like she's supposed to be a problematic mess of a human being who grows and learns. Like when she tries to connect more to her family's roots and culture for her kid. And the early seasons work on that. But then the last couple fuck it right up.
I watched a couple episodes of Family Ties on Pluto Tv as I hadn't seen it since the 80s. All the characters are irritating, but Alex P Keaton, the young Reagan worshipper/aspiring yuppie greedhead is pretty awful. I had to nope out when the mother sang "Blowin' in the Wind" though. And it was supposedly Reagan's favorite show, so how could it be anything but awful.
Curtis holt mr terrific on arrow
Hes a side kick of a side kick. I guess he was supposed to be comic relief or something but he was always super annoying. Olympic level athlete who cant fight to save his life. Genius level intellect hes was able to make a device that can make a paraplegic walk again but is basically an office worker. No self respect, he gets his genius tech stolen and decides to work under the very peolple that stole it. He should be another ray palmer or harry wells but hes just a super genius who decides to work under people who are much dumber than him. I was excited when i heard mr terrific was gonna be on arrow but i didnt expect this subservient annoying dude.
Technically not the main character, but King Harrow (from The Dragon Prince) is an example of a king who's said to be wise and just, but many of his actions within the series simply don't align with this. On top of letting tens of thousands of his subjects to starve (simply so tens of thousands from a neighbouring kingdom might get the chance to live with his kingdom's provisions), his own death in retribution for the Dragon King's passing is the responsible path to his questionable actions... except it really isn't. His only direct heir is a young child (Harrow has an older son that's not related by blood/adopted and his wife sacrificed her life to save his stubborn ass for a past decision), and feudal countries ruled by children usually get invaded by neighbouring kingdoms or sink into civil war as various noble factions try to gain influence over the boy king.
As such, Harrow put both his people and his sons in dire danger just so he could save his own self-respect. And Viren had a point regarding the hypocrisy of trying to stave off the inevitable by putting 200 guards as a squadron of meat shields between himself and the assassins, as compared to sacrificing just one volunteer who would act as a decoy.
I get this series is supposed to have morally grey characters who perform questionable actions "as the right thing to do", but this dude comes across as a hypocrite the majority of the time when he puts his honour before reason. To the best of my knowledge, no one ever calls out Harrow (except for Viren) for these irrational actions and the main characters look back on him with fondness, which doesn't seem wholly deserved given the circumstances that lead to the events of the series. I want to like him, but the show doesn't give me a justifiable reason to.
Gertrude Moon (Daphne's mothers) from Frasier has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Just a totally unlikeable pain in the ass.

Yup. I can just barely stand Hank and Bobby. Peggy is the one that I simply can't get past.
Even though it's an ensemble show, there are times in LOST where I could barely stand Jack and Kate. I was really tired of them as a couple by the end (pretty much preferred every other couple in the show to them, except for Nikki/Paulo and... I dunno, Sayid/Shannon?)
My people.
Eren's a weird case for me where I think Eren is interesting as a character but I despise him as a person.
I hate her too, but i thought its a little too on the noseHow can you post an Arrowverse character but not let it be her:
She was pregnant, but yeah the show did just fine without her. Also, Megan Fox was great as a replacement.
But not liking Winnie the Bish is your true heresy.
Also...
That show got better by an order of magnitude when he left. God, what a nothing person.
Starting to think this might have been intentional all along, dude just murdered a number of innocent civilians.
None of the boys besides the female has powers but i assume you mean houghie?
This.
I love every character in Scrubs except for JD. My wife and I tried to rewatch the series last year and barely made it through the first season because we kept yelling at him.
I feel like the show knows how awful Peggy is, and it's just edging you the entire time for when she's going to finally get called out.
Sasuke
Sakura
Gumball in later seasons
Robin in TTG
Everyone in Jimmy Neutron
uh yeah good point lol. should've said "the guy without powers or basic human competence"
McNulty in The Wire.
Yup, that's the first character that I thought of. Still love the show and McNulty is supposed to be unlikable.
I dropped AoT in the second season, but man I got so excited thinking Eren was a "fake main character" and the real MC was Armin when he "dies" before titan transformation gets unveiled.
Phoebe from Friends.
They overplayed her quirkiness. She often does the 'I believe in this crazy thing and if you're my friend you will also believe in it' thing

Considering he is committing genocide against the whole outside and his friends are trying to save the world by stopping him, you were not wrong in a way.
Will in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
I loved every single thing about that show as a kid other than Will Smith. That man has always rubbed me up the wrong way and I've never been able to quite put my finger on why.

Yup, she was fine until after Lexa, then she turned into the worst character of the show.

There's a reason the show switches to Kira as the protagonist for the second half and that the movie version made Athrun the protagonist of the first half.
I only watched 10 episodes or so of destiny but he is insufferable.
Its hilarious how hard he and the show in general ethers Cagalli though.
I'm watching The Blacklist for the first time, and I absolutely loathe the character of Elizabeth Keen.
Reddington saves Liz' life by almost sacrificing his own, but then some rando tells her Red is lying to her and she loses her shit and denounces him.
Rinse and repeat every other episode, and you get real tired.

Fuck I hated Malcolm but I thought his bros were great
Malcolm being an insufferable little shit was kind of by design though.
