15 Shows You Didn't Need to Watch to Know They Were Terrible

15. Riverdale
Riverdale started as a moody teen mystery and spiraled into pure chaos – plot lines come and go with zero logic, and nothing ever really matters. It’s like the writers forgot the characters are supposed to be high schoolers, not time-traveling, cult-fighting superheroes. | © The CW

14. Fred: The Show
Fred: The Show took a quirky YouTube character and stretched him into a full TV series, with none of the charm. The result? Cringe-worthy acting, grating humor, and a painful reminder that not every internet trend needs a network deal. | © Nickelodeon

13. Dads
Dads tries to cash in on geek culture but ends up feeling like it was written by people who’ve never touched a game console. The jokes are cheap, the characters flat, and for a show about game developers, it knows shockingly little about games or comedy. | © 20th Television

12. Velma
Velma took a beloved cartoon and twisted it into a mean-spirited mess packed with forced edginess and zero laughs. It’s less a comedy and more a bizarre hate letter to its own source material. | © Warner Bros. Animation

11. The Idol
The Idol tried to critique exploitation in the music industry but ended up embodying it instead. What could've been sharp and timely was buried under sleazy, directionless shock scenes and some of the most awkward acting TV has seen in years. | © HBO

10. Charlie's Angels
Charlie’s Angels is a sugar rush in movie form – loud, chaotic, and full of absurd slow motion fight scenes and bullet-dodging towel escapes. It doesn’t make much sense, but it sure packs in enough hair flips, pop songs, and green screen to make a drinking game out of it. | © ABC

9. Inhumans
Inhumans was a Marvel misfire from the very first episode: rushed, illogical, and painfully acted. The plot made no sense, the characters made worse decisions, and somehow it all looked cheap despite the Marvel name. | © ABC

8. 2 Broke Girls
2 Broke Girls was crammed with lazy one-liners, recycled jokes, and a weirdly pointless horse. It was mildly watchable if you had nothing better to do, but expecting anything deeper than that was a setup for disappointment. | © Warner Bros. Television

7. Grey's Anatomy
Grey’s Anatomy was once must-watch TV, but after the original cast started leaving, the spark went with them. Now it’s just hospital drama on repeat, stretched across way too many seasons with nowhere new to go. | © ABC

6. Blacklist
The Blacklist quickly turns into a slog, so every episode feels like a copy-paste of the last, with formulaic twists and dragged-out storylines. The acting doesn’t help, and with way too many bloated seasons, it’s a show that seriously overstayed its welcome. | © NBC

5. Manifest
Manifest started with a cool mystery, but quickly got weighed down by stiff acting and sluggish storytelling. One lead constantly looks confused – whether he's angry, happy, or heartbroken, and the plot drags in circles with predictable government drama. | © NBC

4. Love Island
Love Island is basically a bunch of painfully shallow people hooking up and chatting nonsense while an irritating narrator overshares every move. It’s loud, brain-numbing, and somehow managed to stretch one bad idea into seven seasons. | © Crave

3. 13 Reasons Why
13 Reasons Why started strong with a gripping, emotional first season, but completely lost its way by season 3. Instead of building on what worked, it introduced Ani, an irritating new narrator nobody liked, and doubled down on forced drama. | © Netflix

2. Sex and the City
Sex and the City somehow made being awful look glamorous, especially with a main character as self-centered as Carrie. The writing leans hard into messy drama and questionable decisions, but hey, at least the outfits were good. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

1. Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory started off smart and quirky, but by season 6, it had swapped science jokes for tired relationship tropes. What was once clever became cartoonish, with characters flattened into stereotypes for easy laughs. | © Warner Bros. Television
