Do you end up hating the characters when you watch a whole series?

Once I get started, I usually watch the whole thing. But there have been a few series that I just absolutely hated the characters by the end.

Hated:
Breaking Bad
Orange is the New Black
The Affair (I hated Noah)
House of Cards

Loved:
Handmaid's Tale
Ozark
Goliath
Bosch
Dexter
The Borgias
Midnight Mass

When I started watching Bosch I didn't like him. It took a few episodes to develop him. Midnight Writer Dec 2021 #3
I agree with Breaking Bad dflprincess Dec 2021 #5

I adored this series. The last episode blew my mind. I'm rewatching The Haunting of Bly Manor now. I wasn't as impressed with that as I was with The Haunting of Hill House, but I want to give it another try. All Flanigan's work.

I think I hated everyone but the baby by the time it ended.

(But I would watch the series again.)
