36 TV Shows In Which All Characters Are Equally Unlikeable, As Shared By TV Viewers Online

When a writer creates characters, whether for their book, movie, or TV show, they usually strive to make them not one-dimensional, compelling, and basically interesting enough that consumers want to dive into their stories.

Basically, a well-written character is able to build a dynamic with a reader/writer. And it applies not only to the main character of the story, but to everyone else as well, from parental figures, love interests, antiheroes, and villains. 

Besides making characters interesting, the creator must also strive to write relatively likable characters, even if they are villains. Because if a viewer/reader does not like them, it’s way less likely that they’re going to stay consuming the piece of media – why torture yourself with someone you can’t stand?

Yet, sometimes despite the best effort, a character still turns out to be quite unlikeable, at least to some folks. In fact, there are some cases where basically all of the characters turn out to be unsympathetic to consumers. 

That’s what today’s list is about – TV shows that ended up having zero likeable characters. Sounds pretty harsh, doesn’t it? How come there is not a single personality that consumers like? Well, as with everything else, it depends on the person – you might have enjoyed some of the characters from these shows, while others couldn’t stand them. 

After all, all of these are just examples of netizens’ opinions that were shared in an online thread under the question “What’s a TV show that has NO likeable characters?”, which was asked on r/popculturechat. A lot of people – nearly 3K of them – had a lot to say, so we decided to compile a list of the most interesting takes. 

For example, someone revealed that they find the whole cast of The Kardashians unlikeable, which, let’s admit, isn’t the wildest take out there. Quite a few people don’t like this family, whether due to their actions, personalities, or what they stand for; everyone has their own reason. 

Others have a little more divided opinions – like saying that they dislike every single Euphoria character. Or maybe it isn’t as controversial an opinion either. As a Google search reveals, there are at least a few people who feel similarly about this TV show. 

Since we don’t want to spoil too much for you, that’s the extent of the examples we’re going to mention right now. You have to check out the rest of the list yourself. And while doing so, don’t forget to upvote the opinions you agree with.
