You're supposed to like Meredith from Grey's Anatomy, but since the writing and acting was poor, she's a pretty disliked character.

      Agreed. And this is coming from someone whose favorite character on the show is John Locke - the one whom Jack butted heads with the most. Jack certainly has many flaws, but that's true of most of the characters (a key reason why they were chosen as candidates). I almost never find myself truly disliking him as a character. And I agree that his character arc is one of the greatest ever - eventually becoming the character that John Locke once was and admitting that he had been right about everything, wishing he could've told him that. That was definitely a surprising start to the list...

And the fact that she is the one who sees the victim's ghosts at the end instead of the people who really cared about them was doubly frustrating.

      Well throughout the first 3 seasons which focused on keeping her alive due to her regenerative powers/supposed immortality being what could save the world does give her a reason to act like a drama queen somewhat as being told that her regenerative powers/supposed immortality being the only thing that saves the world, and having supervillains and corrupt government officials trying to find a way to kill her or capture her and exploit her powers/supposed immortality on a constant basis does make her life stressful.
      But I will agree in that she had no reason to be a drama queen in Season 4 and onwards as her story-arc was done and she was no longer in constant danger.

    @psycake1310 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The entire main cast of Seinfeld.
    For every group of people they encounter in each episode, they take it upon themselves to openly criticize and mock others for often immutable traits. And while that is meant to be part of the comedy (and it works for that), this is not a qualify for a 'good' person. It would be like going on a date with a girl who openly admits that she thinks she is above you because your facial proportions aren't 100% symmetrical, and that gives her right to talk down to you; not only that, but that she makes fun of your sexual preferences and kinks with her entire family.
    And when Jerry, George and Elaine are occasionally called out for this kind of behavior, they don't strive to better themselves, judging others for surface-level imperfections and possible insecurities. One week later, and they're back to heckling another person, like a high school bully who never learned to grow out of the taunting phase.
    Great show, but reprehensible characters.

    A few snubs, because there are many examples. Including:
    1. The Miranda Sings character from Haters Back Off. Much like Fred Fighlehorn, Miranda was an awful character when she was on TH-cam, but giving her a Netflix show was an extremely awful idea, and that’s not even getting into her recent controversies. So awful.
    2. Debby Ryan’s character from the truly awful Netflix show Insatiable. She was just terrible.
    3. It pains me to say this because I was an avid fan of the character Jack Bauer on the classic show 24. After the original show went off the air in 2010 I, like many other 24 fans, watched the entire series quite a few times until the announcement of the reboot 24: Live Another Day and that show was incredible. But shortly after that went off the air, when it was announced that the show was being rebooted yet again with all new characters. I love Corey Hawkins. Straight Outta Compton and In the Heights were both amazing watches but I just didn’t care for his character on 24: Legacy. Chalk it up to the impossibility to replace Jack Bauer because he is a great character, but Hawkins bored the shit out of me. There’s nothing quite like Bauer yelling all the time and his “don’t give a f*ck attitude”, but those were some huge shoes to fill and unfortunately Hawkins couldn’t replicate what made the original such a beloved series.
    3. I know it’s only live-action characters, but Mindy Kaling’s character on the MAX streaming series Velma. God, just atrocious.
