Unlikeable main characters

Seinfeld.
Good call on STD its a apt acronym for one of the worst shows ever to keep on getting renewed, Same goes for Tommy in goodfellas a horrible horrible toxic character a friend you would not want to have.

Gonna be divisive but The Last Kingdom - Uhtred, just comes across as entitled, spoilt and up his own ass the entire time, to the point I got so sick of him I can't get past the mid point of S2. Should have made Brida the lead, even with her limited screen time she's a far more interesting character.

This is how he is in the books.
I have not seen the TV series

She drives me up the wall. Fair Few annoying characters in it. For me it should not be attached to the star trek franchise. Would be better standalone.

Star trek strange new worlds? I loved that. And pike in particular. Such different shows.

Star Trek usually goes with 1-2 characters to be really annoying in a cast of competent explorers. Discovery went with one capable character in a cast of incompetent explorers. Anson Mount and Michelle Yeoh were the only characters keeping it on track, at least SNW was created from it.

Michelle Yeoh
Yes! She was the only one of any real interest! Really. The mirror universe people were far far more interesting.
 
A lot of new shows have this problem, leftist woke writers seem to be great at making characters terrible people but for some reason believe the opposite is true.

Just look at Galadriel, it's interesting how the writers / show runners describe her in interviews, they've completely deluded.

ST: Voyager had a bunch of annoying characters. Janeway for a start. Nelix and that blonde alien woman that looked 30 but way only 6-7 years old. All filler, no killer.
 
Wow Overclockers, you're really slipping.

We're in the media sub-forum, and it took three pages before someone started complaining about 'woke'.

What kind of arty-farty liberal echo chamber is this turning into???

I demand someone start a thread attacking [any given female character] this instant! :D
 
Tony - Sopranos. I watched all of it but didn't love it like a lot do. I believe it was because most of the characters including the main one were just not that likeable.

Some great moments for sure but overall found it 'meh'.

I didn’t like any of the Soprano crew, with the possible exception of Bobby. They were all just violent, murdering human scum

John Connor (Edward Furlong) in Terminator 2, I would loved Arnie to have gone rogue and terminated.

Home Alone - Never watched, only seen snippets and that was enough. The kid annoys me (Macaulay Culkin) I am rooting for Pesci and co to nuke the house.

Any of the characters from NCIS Hawaii.
Watched and enjoyed all of the other 3 NCIS shows with my wife and kids, but the characters in Hawaii were so unlikeable or had such obvious flaws/weaknesses, that by the 3rd episode we collectively decided to abandon the series.

Same here - abandoned it on the 3rd episode, wouldn't say unlikeable though [personally] I just found myself so indifferent to them - just so uninteresting compared to the other shows.
