The Walking Dead: 10 Reasons It's The Most Annoying Show On TV

7. Annoying Characters

Wd7 I could easily make this a 2o-point list if I put them all down individually, but my own worst characters are Andrea, Rick, Dale, Lori and post-Maggie Glenn. But you could make a case for most of the survivors being annoying. The problem doesn't lie with the actors, but the writing itself. Laurie Holden, who played Andrea, was great in the final season of the Shield where she played one of Vic Macky's final victims. She excelled in the role of a strong but misguided character. In a similar role in The Walking Dead, she became completely unlikable. The show's writers love exposition, but it gets really annoying to hear characters pointing out the bleeding obvious all the time. The result is a lot of the dialogue the character's tend to utter is boring or redundant. It doesn't make us like them, they just come off as annoying and stupid.
