Summary
While it ’s not a requirement for me to wish the protagonist of the television serial publication I ’m look on , it can be frustrating when I never warm up to a case I know I ’m supposed to like . Over the years , I ’ve watch a lot of shows with virtuously equivocal anti - torpedo , like Walter White onBreaking Bador Tony Soprano fromThe Sopranos , and although I ’ve had interracial feelings about their characters , I believe that the grey area was one of the best aspects of those shows . However , other times , characters I ’m hypothesise to settle down for just never did it for me .
There have been some TV protagonists that I make love were controversial , like Hannah Horvath onGirlsor Michael Scott fromThe Office , who , despite their often disputative report , I promptly warm up to . However , other protagonists from acclaimed dramas , darling sitcoms , and even exalt series go away me cold and indifferent . take strong opinions oncharacters on tv set showscan be part of the use of watch over sure series , and even though these wereprotagonists I never warmed up to , that ’s not to say I did n’t enjoy these shows or thought they had no redeeming calibre .
10Carrie Bradshaw
Sex and the City (1998 - 2004)
Sometimes , I find it hard to accept that some viewing audience out there truly like Carrie Bradshaw fromSex and the Citybecause I ’ve always felt the entire point of that show was to cringe at her absurd behavior . I have never been able-bodied to warm up up to Carrie , as she has systematically been her own worst opposition , caused problem for herself , and been highly dismissive of protagonist in times of need . ThroughoutSex and the City , the film , as well asAnd Just Like That … Carrie has been self - imply , egotistical , and downright unlikable .
All any spectator had to do was considerCarrie ’s worst moments throughoutSex and the City , and they would see that she was a truly unlikable protagonist . Not only did I watch out in horror as she abandoned her friend at every spell for Big , but I could neverforgive her after she chicane on Aidan and broke his spunk . AlthoughSex and the Cityseemed to be a show highlighting the power of female friendly relationship , Carrie just never live up to its ethos , and I could n’t warm up to her .

9Piper Chapman
Orange Is the New Black (2013 - 2019)
Although Piper Chapman ( Taylor Schilling ) was the protagonist ofOrange Is the New Black , I ’ve always experience that the real appealingness of this Netflix serial came from the incredible talent of its ensemble cast . In fact , I would even argue that Piper was among the weak characters in the entire show . I understand that her cluelessness and vacuous character traits were necessary for her to act as our audience foster , but that was no reason she had to be so annoying , narcissistic , and whole unlikeable as a serial ' main lead fibre .
Thankfully , Orange Is the New Blackoften switch its focus aside from Piper , and I found the episodes of the serial I enjoyed most thoroughly focussed on the other distaff convict ' enchanting backstories . From Natasha Lyonne ’s particular functioning as Nicky Nichols to the incredible character development of Suzanne " Crazy Eyes " Warren , I felt likeOrange Is the New Blackwas at its best when Piper was offscreen . With countless cringeworthy moments and some really questionable decisions , Piper was a character I could just never warm up to .

Although Ross was responsible for some ofFriend’sfunniest bit , when I look at all his activity throughout the show , I just ca n’t warm up to him .
The big reason for this was thatRoss was just a really strange guy rope , and the more I opine about his actions , the more he creep me out .

7Dr. Gregory House
House (2004 - 2012)
Undoubtedly , Dr. Gregory House was a extremely unlikable Isle of Man who made life unmanageable for everyone around him . While I always delight view Fox ’s medical dramaHouseand the genius fashion that Dr. House solved aesculapian mystery story often made riveting television , he remained a very hard character to warm up to as his drug addiction , misanthropic nature , and cynical worldview would screen my forbearance . Whenever I felt myself uprise to like Dr. House , he would make an outrageous command or place a heinous act that sprain me off him entirely .
For me , the best example was in the Season 7 coda , whenDr . House drove into Cuddy ’s homein a development that feel so hardhearted that it turned me off him for goodness . Of course , I understand that House ’s action come from a place of inscrutable emotional turmoil and that this represented his repress rage toward Cuddy . While Dr. House ’s activity may have made horse sense from a narrative point of view , this was aHousemoment that made me desire to step down the showentirely .

6Rachel Berry
Glee (2009 - 2015)
Gleewas a show full of characters looker screw to hate , and I was no different . Although she was the protagonist of the series , I was just never capable to warm up to the melodious stylings of Rachel Berry . Despite often being among the funniest characters onGlee , I have to admit she was also the worst . As the complete avatar of snowy women’s liberation movement , it was hard not to feel aghast atRachel ’s constant microaggressions toward those around herand her pauperization to always be the centre of attention .
Manyaspects of Rachel Berry onGleehave aged ill , and I remember feel totally uncomfortable with the style she flirted with Mr. Schuester , had an affair with Sam , and provide her cutthroat ambitions to take antecedence over her friendships . But as much as I never warmed up to Rachel , I also have to allow in she was an essential part ofGlee’ssuccess and an important improver to the plaster cast . Rachel ’s ego - centered nature may have been unlikable , but in my experience , it was pretty exact musical theater kid behaviour .

5Jessica Day
New Girl (2011 - 2018)
It pains me to say this becauseNew Girlwas a show I ’ve always held near and dear to my heart , but Jessica Day was never a character that I truly warmed up to . While Jess has had some dandy moments throughoutNew Girl , she was also the least interesting quality on the show , whose pollyannaish and cheerful nature can , at times , feel draining and bothersome . While Zooey Deschanel was the perfect choice to play Jess , after seven season , I had more than enough of her character .
I always found Jess ’s difficulty traversing her personal relationships frustrating , such as with her puerility best ally Cece Parikh or her shameful attitude toward her struggling sister . Jess systematically allow her emotion to get in the way of her judgment , and she labour past the edge of her relationships , especially with Nick when they were not together . While that ’s not to say I dislike Jess , I never warmed up to her in the way I did the rest of the master casting .

Despite the fact thatGilmore Girlshas long been countless viewers ' go - to comfort show , I have to admit I never could get on circuit board with Lorelai Gilmore ’s character . While I appreciate the series ' singular take on a female parent and daughter ’s relationship and , I know there have been plenty of heartwarming second to love and cherish throughoutGilmore Girls . I also guess thatLorelai has displayed some characteristics that really rubbed me the incorrect wayand stopped me from warming up to her .
The older I get , the more I realize just how many negative timbre Lorelai possessed , such as her bitterness of Rory ’s relationship with her grandparents , Richard and Emily . The way that Loralai also swap time with her parents for them to pay for Rory ’s tuition felt rather exploitative and not the circumstances required to foster good family relationships .

I ’m truly convert that the only rationality the showEmily in Pariseven exist in the first place was so that we can all feel disappointed by Emily Cooper . As this Netflix sitcom sets its main character up as a clueless social medium - obsessed American , I knew I would have my issue with her , and this only got worse asEmily in Parisprogressed . Emily ’s case was so frustrating that I have proceed to hate - catch the series every fourth dimension a novel batch of episodes gets unloosen .
My issues with Emily stem from several factors , although I will play up that I guess Lily Collins has done a majuscule job portraying her , and to get such an worked up reaction from me was a will to her acting endowment . Not only were Emily ’s decision usually selfish , but she has repeatedly put in herself into other people ’s relationships without worrying about the devastating worked up wreckage she make . Adding to this , Emily also made little feat to assimilate into Parisian culture , and if ever I encountered her , the only Book I would have for her would be “ au revoir . ”

1Ted Mosby
How I Met Your Mother (2005 - 2014)
I realize that Ted Mosby was the storyteller ofHow I Met Your female parent , and the entire show was take in through the lens of his experience , but I still ca n’t shake the feeling that it would have been better off without him solely . Ted ’s authoritarian desire to get married , dismissive posture toward the char he did appointment , and ostentatious nature meant that I could just never warm up to him . How I Met Your Motherwas filled with great characters , but no matter how many meter I rewatch it , I came to the decision that Ted was not one of them .
At times , I could n’t excite the tone that theHow I Met Your Motherwriters actually wanted Ted to be unlikeable , which became even more pronounced when they reimagined him as Jed Mosely in the in - universe filmThe Wedding Bride . Here , Ted ’s character uttered his inane catchphrase , “ No - can - do’s - ville , child skirt , ” which dead encapsulated the nettlesome nature of the real Ted .
