17 Awful TV Shows People Can't Get Enough Of, And 15 Popular Shows People Truly Hate

"The American version of The Office is horrible. The original British version is great. It was only on for 12 episodes and one Christmas special. Ricky Gervais knows not to overstay his welcome."

"Riverdale is super cringey with it's musical episodes, but yet, I still love it. No guilt over here."

—zandisilekhetwayo14

"It’s utter trash, but still somehow enjoyable trash. The storylines are wild and cringey, especially Archie and Veronica’s arcs; Anytime they even come on screen, I’m dying inside, yet I still watch each and every episode."

—frand4e18730ec

"I watched Friends for a little while, but ultimately I gave up. It was mildly amusing only. And Ross is an a**."

—nilmandir

"PLL got so ridiculous toward the end, but I simply could not stop watching it. I think in the back of my mind, I was hoping they’d somehow tie it all up brilliantly. Obviously, that didn’t happen."

"I tried really hard to get into Gilmore Girls, but it was major cringe."

—juliannec

"I watched an episode of Gilmore Girls, and it was so corny, unfunny, and generally terrible."

—gloriag2

"There were moments that made me want to cry and scream out of frustration, and there were scenes where I wanted to be the one dying because it was just so cringey. Some of the acting was terrible, but some of it (the main girl) was worthy of an award. But at the end of the day, it was a raunchy, raucous teen TV show that had trashy storylines and trashier teenage personalities, and I LOVED IT."

"Breaking Bad unfolds so slowly, I could barely keep going. I mainly hung on to see the locations they used in 'ABQ.'"

—artf423c67d40

"Galavant is the BEST show. I've never seen a group of actors love and stand behind the sheer stupidity and fourth-wall breaking of a show as much as the cast of Galavant. They all loved the show, and it shows very clearly in their acting, and I am so beyond devastated it didn't get renewed past two seasons. Please watch that show."

"I tried to watch The Good Place. I think my friend made me sit through, like, six episodes. But I just...didn't find it funny. Anything about it. Even Kristen Bell's character just always fell flat to me."

—joep45cede9de

"It's so outrageous and cringeworthy, and yet, if it's on, I must watch it.

—l49e3a2636

"With Grey’s Anatomy, there are some episodes in the newer seasons that are moving and powerful, but the unrealistic character arcs, constant drama involving the cast/crew, and the fact that all the fan-favorite characters have left dumb down the reputation of the show to soap opera status."

—faithb49f43e47c

"Okay. Supernatural jumped the shark a couple times, but I will still end the bloodline of anyone who has anything negative to say about my boys."

—jackirose

"Seinfeld was good for about two seasons, but after, it was simply tiresome and not funny. When people carried on about how Jerry Seinfeld was the funniest man alive, I wanted to punch someone. The guy had a thing for a couple of years and milked it for all it was worth."

—dannyh42f90bcf3

"My daughter got me into it because we both like mermaids, but I’ll admit I used to sometimes rewatch it on my own."

—heatherbeshe

"Mako Mermaids...a literal spin-off from H2O (exactly as cheesy and definitely written for kids). They put four seasons on Netflix, and after the first season, the two main mermaids disappear — NO EXPLANATION. And then, they replace the final mermaid, too. You'd think I would stop watching, but no. Me, my friend, and my boyfriend are HOOKED, and we're 25."

—areyoukidding

"Girls was just plain awful. The characters were all so vapid and selfish — there was no one worth rooting for or getting invested in."

—b492e17612

"Slasher was so bad, it was good. Every time I gasped, it wasn't because I was shocked or scared, but because I couldn't believe how bad the script was. Those poor actors. Katie McGrath deserved better."

—ravenbard

"Modern Family is TV at its absolute worst."

—karlaatx

"I swear everyone in my life raves about that show, but I can’t ever make it through an episode. I think it’s just so, so annoying and there’s really no point." 

—thatlaaaaadythere

"Teen Wolf is a total guilty pleasure! It's awful, but also, it's wonderful. Stiles is life. *Heart eyes*."

—suncat

"I do not like Bob's Burgers. My family adores it and thinks something is wrong with me. It's not funny and a chore to sit through."

—zeilerra

"Young and Hungry deserves to be on here. I mean, the humor is so cringey, and all the acting is overdramatic, but I love watching it."

—miscblogger92

"All everyone talks about is how they cried at every episode. Why do I want to watch a show that makes me sad? I can watch the real, live news for that." 

—sarahw4a5589220

"Bunheads was a very underrated, amazing TV show. My sister and I waited every week for it to come on, and it was our favorite. I was so bummed when they canceled it. It was kind of cliché, but it had really hilarious characters, and even the bad ones were funny."

—meganatorr

"A friend tried to get me to watch that Kimmy Schmidt show, and I thought it was hands down the worst television program I have ever seen in my life. But, hey, to each their own."

—ash_the_flass

"Every single rom-com trope ever imagined is represented, and somehow, I cannot stop watching it and am still shocked when certain things happen."

—sitkal

"The plot got more ridiculous and convoluted as time went on. All of the characters were related in some way and the CGI was SO bad, but I couldn't stop watching."

—badspellaspella

"I watched the first episode and was bored to tears. My god, I don't get why people thought it was good."

—kshepp10

"The humor was ridiculous, and the characters were even more so, but I loved every second of it. I was actually heartbroken when it got canceled after Season 2. Legit one of my favorite shows despite the sometimes over-the-top humor."

—kaleep43bdb1b45

"I literally have to mentally prepare to watch it, and even when I do, I still end up feeling like absolute sh*t afterwards. The storyline is great and the characters are complex — it’s just a lot."

—diamondgemstone

"The characters were so unlikeable, selfish, and immature. The whole show ended up being unintentionally hilarious with its horrible dialogue. It was my number one guilty pleasure."
