Evaluating TV shows is largely a matter of preference. However, some series are so good that their ratings aren't even debated —- One can think of Friends, Seinfeld, Fleabag, The Wire, and so on. So long as you're not living under a rock, chances are that you know exactly who starred in these shows. It's even possible to know when they aired. 

However, for every great prestige drama or great sitcom, there are a slew of series that didn't do so well and faded away almost as soon as they aired. It might have been due to a limited marketing budget – insufficient to make any difference, or maybe the airing network decided to give up on the show before it could gain ground. And perhaps the easiest answer is the best one in some cases; It may just have been a bad show.

It doesn't matter if you're a TV fanatic or a leisure viewer, deciding what series to watch can be difficult. Should you use your free time to binge-watch "The Tiger King"? You could possibly prefer a great drama series like "Peaky Blinders" or something like "Bob's Burgers" if you want comedy to unwind. Maybe you prefer to spend your time watching a recent series like "House of The Dragon" or maybe one of the classics like "The Sopranos"? Even though we may be unable to answer every question you have, so you know exactly which TV shows to get into, we'll give you a list of the ones you probably shouldn't waste your time with.

Given below are our top 50 series with 0% critic scores on Rotten tomatoes. Now, this doesn't necessarily reveal that the shows themselves are hated globally. If a show is rated 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, it means 0% of the critics who rated it gave a good review. It's worth noting that a lot of these series have below ten total reviews.

Some entries had audience scores performing much better than critic scores. A good example is Hunters, Syfy's 2016 drama series. It was rated an average of 59% by casual viewers. This isn't good enough to attain a full basket of popcorn on Rotten Tomatoes. The threshold is 60%. That said, it didn't do badly.

On the other hand, there have been those that have passed the threshold. A good example is Miami Medical's first season; It didn't have a single positive review from any of the ten critics who rated it. However, all the user ratings turned out positive, so its audience score is surprisingly 100%. Also, Real Rob, Rob Schneider's autobiographical series, has a similar story. None of the eight critics gave it a positive review. However, 80% of normal audiences did.

After all has been said and done, if you're interested in watching a number of the TV's worst shows ever made, our list is exactly what you need. All that and more is contained in our list.
