10 TV Shows That Pissed You Off Straight Away

10. The Roses Are Absolute Garbage - Schitt's Creek

Schitt's Creek is one of the finest examples of a TV show that started off rocky but went on to improve with each successive season, culminating in its sixth and final season winning the most Emmys that any single comedy season ever has.

But those early days were rough, for sure. The primary sticking point for many was the caustic, excessively obnoxious personalities of the Rose family, prompting many viewers to wonder why they should keep watching a show centered around over-privileged, mean-spirited a**holes.

But with each passing season the edges were planed away and audiences warmed to the Roses, whose inner humanity was slowly brought to the fore.

By the end of the show, it truly felt like the family had been transformed through their nuanced respective character arcs, even if those earlier episodes failed to impress that this was on the cards.

If the first season in particular paints Schitt's Creek as a fairly generic fish-outta-water sitcom and its characters as simply too unpleasant to put up with, the seasons that follow do their absolute damnedest to win you over, and it absolutely works.
