Hate watching a show can come about multiple ways. Perhaps at first the TV show was good then jumped the shark, but you keep watching because you already invested so much time in it. Perhaps you know from the beginning that the show is frustrating but you keep watching like a bad trainwreck. Perhaps you love the show all throughout but then hate it for the way it ended, changing the way you’ll view the reruns forever. Either way it maybe strange, but people do hate-watch shows. Are you looking for something new that will give you conflicting feelings? Here are 5 shows you may love to hate-watch!
1. Pretty Little Liars
This show should give medals to each of its fans for their enormous amount of patience. This is an adaption of a book series about four girls who are getting threatening text messages from an anonymous person that goes by “A”. They believe this person is involved with their friend, Alison’s death. This show has pretty much accused everyone of being A then disproved each theory. We are pretty sure that whenever this show loses their viewership the answer of who A is will not make any sense due to its over complicated storyline and its constant back-pedaling.
2. Lost
This drama is about a plane that crashes on a mysterious island. A lot of the crew survives, but has no way in reaching the outside world. The show starts off great, but if you ever ask any of its fans they will tell you that most of the questions asked never get answered. If you’re more into the journey than the destination then check it out on Netflix!
3. The Secret Life of The American Teenager
This show kicks off with a 15-year-old Amy Juergens (Shailene Woodley) getting pregnant with bad boy, Ricky Underwood’s (Daren Kagasoff) baby. This starts a whole lot of discussion about sex and pregancy amongst the young students and their parents. This show was definitely supposed to be a response to shows like 16 and Pregnant, but a lot of the dialogue is cringe-inducing and most of the acting and characters are laughable. Some of the fans were also not happy with the ending of the Amy, Ricky, and Ben love triangle. You can binge watch this show on Netflix.
4. American Horror Story: Aslyum
Now everyone in this fan base has a favorite and least favorite season in this franchise. They all have the same frustrating traits however like killing off characters and bringing them back. Asylum however is the most mind boggling, in my opinion due to many of the characters being treated for mental issues. You’re never sure what is real and what is someone’s hallucination, and were those aliens?? Not all (or any) of your questions will be answered, but as usual Jessica Lange is great.
5. The Carrie Diaries

This adaption had a death sentence before it even really started. In order to make more money off the Sex and The City franchise this show depicts Carrie Bradshaw (AnnaSophia Robb) that’s still in high school, yet trying to make it to the big city and figure out dating. It was an interesting experiment, but never had the magic that made its parent series so great. None of the other characters were included except for Samantha Jones, which was played by Lindsey Gort. Her depiction is certainly a highlight however since you can tell she did her homework and was really able to mimic Kim Cattrall’s mannerisms. You can watch the two seasons on Netflix.
