Top 9 Most Unlikeable Main Characters in TV Shows

The secret ingredients of a great TV show are a non-cliche plot, relatable characters that don’t make you cringe, and good acting. Can a show get good reviews with only two out of the three?

As the following examples show you, you can definitely have subpar main characters and still enjoy the show. But you don’t have to, so force yourself to like something you don’t.

Here are the nine most unlikeable main characters in TV shows.

1. Prue — Charmed

The entire premise of the show relies on the sisters working together, but apparently, Prue didn’t get the memo. Every time a big evil spirit or demon emerges, she’s ready to solo it. Aside from that, she’s just not ready to see her sisters happy and sabotages their relationships every chance she gets.

2. Elizabeth — The Blacklist

In the first 2-3 seasons, Liz was pretty okay, aside from the part where she’s been living with a freaking spy for years without realizing it. Good thing she’s a master profiler, right? But what’s even more annoying is that after Agnes is born, Elizabeth shows zero concern about her. Sure, we’re supposed to believe that she does, but not with that attitude.

3. Sabrina — The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

Sabrina is one of those characters who will almost always do the opposite of what she’s told. I understand that it’s done to move the plot forward, but could you please make her a bit more self-aware? The big bad evil doesn’t even need to move a finger with a protagonist like Sabrina.
