Once in awhile, writers will create a TV show character so amazing, so in-depth and multi-faceted, that they’ll genuinely seem REAL to the audience. Good characters make the entire show worth watching.
And of course, sometimes it’s the opposite, and a character just wasn’t written right. Maybe they’re TOO BAD of a villain with zero redeeming qualities, or perhaps they’re just not believable — but we all know what it’s like for a character to leave a horrible taste in our mouth.
Today, we’ll be exploring both sides of this debate. I combed through the internet to find the most common favourite and least favourite TV show characters. And it’s a suuuuper interesting list, so let’s get into it, shall we?
