The 2022 TV season was yr for romantic relationships and juicy character arcs, however this listing is concerning the different facet of the coin. Probably the most annoying TV characters we could not ignore (even after we tried).

Did your alternative make the listing? Try the listing beneath.
Ariadna “Ari” Blanco Commerford – Elite (Netflix)
A soapy present like Elite has its fair proportion of scandalous drama and harmful characters.
Elite Season 6 was no exception, however wealthy lady Ari continued to make issues worse. Her storylines have been a constant thread of 1 improper determination after one other, fueled by a reckless ego. In 2022, she took the cake with who she harm.
For example, she drowned out her unhappiness over Samuel’s loss of life with drinks, she toyed with Nico’s emotions based mostly on his transgender id, and she or he slept along with her new good friend’s crush within the backroom of a membership.
However to make issues worse, she slept along with her brother’s boyfriend and obtained pregnant by him. Iván was equally at fault for hurting Patrick, however there’s a sibling code that harm much more with this betrayal, particularly since she and Patrick are twins.
Granted, the grief over Samuel’s loss of life should’ve been painful for her, and she or he reacted as such. Nonetheless, Ari was a curler coaster that by no means appeared to finish.
Iggy Frome – New Amsterdam (NBC)
The place does one even start with Ignatius Frome?
It is such a pity that one of the crucial beloved characters of New Amsterdam Season 1 has turn out to be probably the most loathsome. It is virtually as if his likability vanished together with Kapoor.
As a psychiatrist, it is unsettling how horrible he’s at his job; his co-signing an incestuous relationship and the disturbing resolution he had for a kid rape case are amongst his worst offenses. His private life does not fare a lot better.
The true pity is that there is no such thing as a means New Amsterdam can salvage what’s left of this unbearable character by the point the sequence wraps.
Charly Burke – The Orville: New Horizons (Hulu)
It is a present that, by its very nature, asks its viewers to droop their disbelief as they journey by area with a various crew of alien species fulfilling missions of exploration and diplomacy.
Nonetheless, there may be nonetheless no approach to perceive or settle for the sudden intrusion of an untried ensign with apparent emotional baggage into the highest stage of officers aboard the ship.
Ensign Charly Burke will get plopped into the crew on The Orville Season 3 Episode 1, rambling about pancakes and hating on Isaac as a stand-in for all Kaylons. Others describe her as “particular” in that she’s able to “four-dimensional considering,” no matter meaning.
Too dangerous she can’t take care of her trauma in any dimension. She’s a weaponized ball of PTSD who ought to’ve been on indeterminate psych go away and NOT on the controls of a starship.
You’d assume Seth MacFarlane would’ve discovered to not solid his important others after the fallout from Halston Sage’s exit when their relationship ended. However NOPE, we get caught with a season of the unlucky Anne Winters attempting to redeem an intensely unlikeable character to no avail.
On the intense facet, the character’s lifeless, so we do not have to fret a few return if The Orville Season 4 is a go. Thank, Avis.
Otto “Obie” Bergmann IV – Gossip Woman (2021) (HBO Max)
Why is Obie even buddies with the group on Gossip Woman? He barely even hides his disdain anymore each time he is round them.
Obie began because the delicate wealthy boy who wished a recent begin in life and courting. He made dangerous choices with how he dealt with the Zoya/Julian romance, and he obtained into disagreements together with his highly effective household. Nothing too outrageous could not be solved.
Nonetheless, since Gossip Woman (2021) Season 2 started, Obie has been a irritating shell of no matter potential he as soon as had.
He is purposely withdrawn himself from his good friend group, considering he is above all of it and never desirous to get entangled in any highschool drama. He continues to go in opposition to and reject his household after which acts stunned after they reject him again. And his courting life is in shambles.
The storylines in 2022 have been refreshing and on an upward swing; it is feeling like peak Gossip Woman aptitude. So, why hasn’t Obie caught up? Perhaps it is time he will get a farewell Gossip Woman blast?
Harry Greene – Heartstopper (Netflix)
Harry Greene can be your man when you needed to pinpoint the wealthy jock bully on a teen TV sequence. He is extra on the rugby facet of the sports activities scene, however he matches many qualities of the cliché archetype.
Harry would open his mouth at each flip and say one other cringe-worthy line, exerting his “massive man on campus” vitality.
Like his fixed bullying of Tao, his pushing Imogen to get with Nick, and his terrible homophobic perspective to Charlie and Nick, even when he sees that his supposed finest good friend goes by one thing, he continues to be a jerk, displaying no empathy in any respect.
Nick deserves a lot better buddies than Harry and people rugby guys. Hopefully, karma will get Harry sooner or later!
Isabella Tavez – Good Hassle (Freeform)
Regardless of being an all-around good man, Gael has the worst relationship luck.
His relationship with Brian did not go far. Then got here Callie, probably the most indecisive individual ever. And now we have now been handled to Isabella.
Pinpointing one annoying factor about her would not do her justice! She looks like a baby in a grown girl’s physique. It seems like she has trapped Gael on this unending torture.
Him being the nice man that he’s, accommodates her each want and whim. After she delivers the newborn, she ought to, like, go. Go!
Percy Scott – Blockbuster (Netflix)
Percy (performed by JB Smoove) was a grown man with the thoughts of a excessive schooler.
Percy’s motivation saved altering each episode based mostly on what conflicts the writers wanted to drum up. He was a irritating character as a result of he by no means appeared to be taught from his errors and at all times acted solely out of self-interest.
He intentionally sabotaged his supposed finest good friend Timmy (Randall Park) on a number of events just because he wished to spend extra time with him. And for a man operating a party-store enterprise, he positive frolicked at Blockbuster loads.
Colin McKenna – Uncoupled (Netflix)
Ghosting somebody is an terrible factor to do in any relationship or situationship. Abruptly breaking apart with a long-term associate after 17 years with no warning? That is an insult to their couple’s historical past.
Colin had that irritating high quality of somebody who tried to make themselves impassive and the harmless celebration within the breakup.
He spent 17 years with Michael and by no means communicated any points or issues he felt whereas within the relationship. He solely did one half-hearted counseling session with Michael to debate their points earlier than breaking apart for good.
After which he had the nerve to ask Michael to get again collectively after he noticed how effectively Michael grew and thrived with out him.
Michael picked up all of the items and labored on himself; we are able to in all probability guess Colin did not do the identical after their breakup. Colin wished the greener grass and did not acknowledge his fault of their relationship issues. It is irritating that he handled somebody he “loves” with that conduct.
Moishe Maisel – The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Amazon Prime Video)
Do not get us improper, there’s loads to rejoice within the authenticity of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Miriam’s and Joel’s mother and father — Abe (Tony Shalhoub), Rose (Marin Hinkle), Shirley (Caroline Aaron), and Moishe (Kevin Pollak) — align fairly effectively with the lovingly overbearing nature of Jewish households.
Nonetheless, at occasions, the mother and father additionally veer on caricatures too usually and are available throughout as unbearable characters.
It is a bit of simpler to be sympathetic in direction of Midge’s mother and father as they get extra texture, however there’s little justification for Moishe’s damaged file of kvetching and one-upmanship.
Moreover, with Amy Sherman-Palladino’s fashion of characters repeating dialogue and conversations that intersect at jagged angles, the fashion ups Moishe’s annoyance issue tenfold.
Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee – Love is Blind (Netflix)
One man stood on the middle of lots of drama on Love is Blind Season 2. That man was “Shake.” After lastly assembly Deepti and proposing to her, all of us hoped he would develop to be the person she deserved. Sadly, he continued to dig himself deeper right into a gap that he could not escape from.
Shake turned the most important villain of the second season.
He made impolite feedback about his fiance, brazenly acknowledged he wasn’t bodily interested in her, and spoke thoughtless issues to Deepti that made her really feel unworthy. And when given an opportunity to develop and apologize throughout the reunion, he doubled down on his horrible conduct.
Why even go on a courting present about marriage when you did not need to get married?!
Let’s all be grateful that Deepti mentioned “no” on the marriage ceremony and can discover someone who respects her. All of us cheered for her in that now notorious second.
Daniel Durston – Massive Brother 24 (CBS)
One other participant featured from the fact TV world. This time, it is coming proper from the Massive Brother home.
Daniel began the sport robust by being the primary Head of Family (HOH) and forming a number of tight bonds. He was shut allies with Nicole and Paloma and was woven into a good sufficient group with gamers like Ameerah, Alyssa, Jasmine, and Terrance that he may’ve ridden that wave far into the sport.
Sadly, his blind religion in Paloma began a messy sequence of occasions that lobbied bullying and horrible therapy in opposition to one houseguest, Taylor (the longer term winner of Massive Brother Season 24).
Daniel strengthened rumors in opposition to Taylor, brazenly calling her out in entrance of everybody, and tried on a number of events to get her evicted based mostly on his “feeling” about her. It obtained so dangerous that his calling her out triggered a brand new alliance to be fashioned to assist Taylor and overthrow houseguests within the sport, like Daniel.
Similar to Shake above, actuality TV does observe real-life actions. However as a “character” on the season, he fell into the villain position, and we could not wait to see him stroll out the door to talk with Julie.
