TV Shows Without A Likable Or Redeemable Character

One of the main things which keeps us tuning in to our favorite TV shows is returning to the company of our favorite characters.

The people we wish were our friends in real life, who we hope will take care of us should we ever end up in a hospital, or will come to our rescue should we need the police.

More often than not, however, the characters who are anything but loveable draw us back into our favorite shows just as easily.

The characters we "love to hate" as it were.

Of course, for a show to draw us in, we need at least one character to root for or sympathize with.

As when a show is completely void of likable characters, or characters with at least one redeemable trait, we might find ourselves less inclined to tune in week after week.


Redditor hungrytiredandbored was curious to hear the shows people think are completely void of sympathetic characters, leading them to ask:
"What show has no likable characters?"

Every show needs a good villain.

But, be it scripted or reality, all shows need someone we can at least relate to to keep us invested.

That being said, there is something equally satisfying about "hate watching".

Something incredibly easy to do when you hate every single character.

Vice President JD Vance was criticized after he claimed without evidence that Renee Nicole Good—the woman fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday—was a "deranged leftist."

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin claimed Good “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them.” But Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey pushed back against this narrative considering witnesses described seeing Good in the vehicle trying to flee officers when she was shot.
