5 TV Shows Where One Bad Character Spoils The Whole Show

4. Peter Hale - Teen Wolf

You know that joke that every family has a creepy uncle? Well, Uncle Peter from Teen Wolf surpasses creepy and goes straight into thoroughly awful. In the first season, he had a purpose: he was the Alpha wolf who bit our hero Scott and was causing mayhem and death in Beacon Hills. But like a bad comic book character, Peter Hale just won't stay dead. His long-suffering nephew Derek Hale has tried to avoid him and kill him. Instead, he keeps coming back like a creepy cockroach: impersonating a teenaged boy to use Lydia against her will, peeping on his underage nephew and girlfriend as they make out, hanging out at the local high school like an even creepier Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused, and just causing trouble for his nephew and niece and the group of teenagers he seems to enjoy spending all his time with. Does he even know any other adults? In the recent premiere of season 3b, Peter didn't make an appearance until the last minute: shirtless and chained up with his much more attractive and undeserving nephew. The look of pure annoyance on Derek's face as his uncle tried to make yet another smarmy joke was most likely reflected on all the viewers' faces. After two and a half seasons, Peter drags the action of Teen Wolf down and just won't go away. He's exhausted his purpose so why do the writers insist on making this creepy uncle a central character?
