I was thinking about some tv shows I loved but realise that I hated the main characters in! My initial list is:

OITNB- I didn’t always hate Piper but I definitely did at times throughout!

Breaking Bad- hate Walter so much.

This Is England- I class Shaun as the main character and can’t stand him.

What about you?

Anyone an Industry fan ? I mean AWFUL people every one of em, but compelling to watch! And yes, loved Succession too!

Loved Industry. Loathed most of the characters but it was compelling.
Really enjoyed The Responder but can’t stand Martin Freeman.
As for Adolescence - I can’t stand Stephen Graham. I just don’t get it at all. I liked him in Boardwalk Empire and that was it.
The Diplomat - I absolutely love it and I do really like Keri Russell but can’t be doing with the ticks, the greasy hair and sweaty armpits.

To add I really liked Broadchurch but Olivia Colman does my head in. I’m sure she thinks very highly of me! 🤣
Just watching the new Nicola Walker show on Disney, Alice & Steve. Loved her in Last Tango and The Spilt but she’s packing so many of her signature mannerisms in I’ve switched it off.

The wife and daughter in Landsman can’t remember their names and don’t want to. So insulting to women to portray their characters like that.Ruined what would have been a good show.

I looked it up as I've never heard of it. Do you mean Billy Bob Thornton? I love him as an actor

Dawn in the UK Office got on my nerves, right up until THAT scene with Tim! I just don't think the character was interesting at all, or maybe the actress just was a bit wooden.

She ruined it didn’t she. It was a good premise which she spoilt. I’ve never understood how she keeps getting all the leading roles. She is the same in every part.

I agree, I can't stand her in anything. All those weird mouth movements and vacant staring.

Didn’t like Jack in This is Us

I hated Rebecca too. What a boring mingebag and the wrong character to end the series focusing on. Poor Miguel.

I also hated Rory in Gilmore Girls and Andy out of The Office who was a decent background character but an awful main.
