Unliked characters
The TV show 'Orange is the New Black' ran for seven seasons from 2013 to 2019. The series is based on the 2010 memoir 'Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison' by author Piper Kerman. The prison drama stars actress Taylor Schilling as the main character Piper Chapman. While the show did well, audiences did not like Chapman and complained about her personality.
Another hit show with a really unlikeable character was 'Gossip Girl.' Actress Taylor Momsen played the role of Jenny Humphries, Dan Humphries' younger sister, in the series which ran for six season from 2007 till 2012. This role appears to have been written with the intention of purposely having an unlikeable persona in the show. Jenny started off well but her character changed and audiences' opinions did as well.
