For all those people who like the feeling of second-hand embarrassment. *SPOILERS FOR MANY SHOWS*

1. Cobra Kai

The entire series was a spin-off of Karate kid, where Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrance (William Zabka) both opened Dojos. The original fight they had as teenagers, plagued their adult life with the need to prove they’re the better karate fighter. If they had just talked about it, the series wouldn’t have spiraled into about 5 seasons of getting children to fight for them. There are intense karate fights every 30 seconds and multiple kids get trips to the hospital. Miguel Diaz, one of the main characters, (Xolo Maridueña) was involved in a fight where he was kicked off a third-floor balcony and ended up breaking his spine. Sam Larusso (Mary Mouser), Daniel’s daughter, was the love interest of Miguel and had little to no character development over the 5 seasons and acted as a damsel-in-distress in many situations she could have fixed.

2. Ginny and Georgia

Georgia Miller (Brianne Howey) had a dark past and tries everything she can to prevent her kids from experiencing the same thing. However, her entitled daughter, Virginia Miller (Antonia Gentry,) won’t stop pestering her mother about her past and ends up deciding the root of all her problems is her mother. She cheats on her boyfriend with the neighbor boy, becomes best friends with the neighbor’s sister, and finds out her mom murdered her stepfather. When the writers added conflict between her and her boyfriend Hunter (Mason Temple), it was a fight about who was more of a minority and whose life was harder. They could have had them fight about anything, however, they decided that fighting about who was more oppressed would work best.

3. Vampire Diaries

When Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) catches the eye of Vampire Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) she is targeted by Stefan’s enemies. While trying to keep Elena safe, Stefan pushes her away which accidentally leaves her vulnerable to his no-good brother Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) where a love triangle forms and continues for 8 seasons. Elena proceeds to switch from Damon to Stefan every other episode and complains about how hard it is to choose. Damon sucks blood and turns innocent people into vampires, while Stefan has gone “vegetarian” (he drinks animal blood) so that he doesn’t have to hurt people. In those 8 seasons, many of Elena’s friends turn into vampires, she meets her doppelganger from the 1800s, and a later antagonist creates a vampire-werewolf hybrid army.

4. He’s all that

This movie stars Padgett Sawyers (Addison Rae) a high school student who made it her mission to transform her unpopular classmate Cameron Kweller (Tanner Buchanan) into the Prom King. It’s the gender-swapped version of She’s All That (1999), except they modernized the parts of it that made the movie what it was. Having an influencer star in a movie where she has no experience was not the best choice. The acting itself was not good, and the plot was cliche with turning an “ugly” character beautiful.
