History HateSink / LiveActionTV

* ''Series/TheGlory'': The group of bullies who made Moon Dong-eun's life hell. They all have very little redeeming qualities, and even those lower in the hierarchy had a sense of superiority over those they see as "lesser" than them. More specifically:

** [[AbusiveParents Jung Mi-hee]], the mother of Dong-eun, is also a major hate sink. First, she didn't care about the bullying that Dong-eun was enduring in school, going as far as accepting a hefty bribe from the bullies' families to absolve all responsibility from them before abandoning Dong-eun entirely. Then she shows up in Dong-eun's life again by causing trouble for her at her teaching job until she was forced to resign, stealing Dong-eun's money, and even setting her apartment on fire for no other reason than her own amusement. Her comeuppance is equally satisfying, as Dong-eun gives Mi-hee a taste of her own medicine by committing her to a mental facility and abandons her entirely.

** [[ChurchgoingVillain Lee Sa-ra. Not only is she just as violent and unstable as Yeon-jin and Jae-joon, Sa-ra is also a hypocrite who parades herself as holier than Dong-eun because of her father being a priest-- all while trying to hide her own drug addiction from her family. One such example is when she smugly tells Dong-eun that she won't go to hell, as she had repented for her sins, even going as far as accusing Dong-eun of being on drugs when she extorts her for money. If that weren't enough, Sa-ra is also a fraudulent artist, as she keeps a team of medically-sedated art students to make her artwork, then takes all the credit for the paintings they made. Her downfall is just as satisfying to watch, after she's exposed for her drug addiction in the church, then arrested for stabbing Hye-jeong in the neck.

** Park Yeon-jin, the leader of the bullies. As a girl from a wealthy and influential family, Yeon-jin made Dong-eun's school life a living hell by burning her with a curling iron, and bullying her so horribly that she would drop out of school. Before targeting Dong-eun, Yeon-jin used to bully another girl named So-hee, and went as far as setting her on fire just because So-hee accidentally wore the same clothes as her. As an adult, Yeon-jin is still no better, as she demeans and insults her co-workers, cheats on her husband and has a daughter with another man, and she shows zero remorse for her crimes as a teenager. It's all the more satisfying when Yeon-jin loses her husband, daughter, lifestyle, and career, and ends up in jail for murder in the end.
** Jeon Jae-joon. Not only is he the most violent of the bullies, but it's implied that he has also sexually assaulted Dong-eun in the past. He also repeatedly tries to undermine Ha Do-yeong, Yeon-jin's husband, by taunting him about being the biological father of Ha Ye-sol, Yeon-jin's daughter. Even worse, Jae-joon raped Yeon-jin's previous victim So-hee in high school, and got her pregnant at the time of her death. Needless to say, Jae-joon's downfall is extremely satisfying to watch, as he's left blinded before being pushed to his death in a pool of concrete.
** Lee Sa-ra. Not only is she just as violent and unstable as Yeon-jin and Jae-joon, Sa-ra is also a hypocrite who parades herself as holier than Dong-eun because of her father being a priest-- all while trying to hide her own drug addiction from her family. One such example is when she smugly tells Dong-eun that she won't go to hell, as she had repented for her sins, even going as far as accusing Dong-eun of being on drugs when she extorts her for money. If that weren't enough, Sa-ra is also a fraudulent artist, as she keeps a team of medically-sedated art students to make her artwork, then takes all the credit for the paintings they made. Her downfall is just as satisfying to watch, after she's exposed for her drug addiction in the church, then arrested for stabbing Hye-jeong in the neck.
** Jung Mi-hee, the mother of Dong-eun, is also a major hate sink. First, she didn't care about the bullying that Dong-eun was enduring in school, going as far as accepting a hefty bribe from the bullies' families to absolve all responsibility from them before abandoning Dong-eun entirely. Then she shows up in Dong-eun's life again by causing trouble for her at her teaching job until she was forced to resign, stealing Dong-eun's money, and even setting her apartment on fire for no other reason than her own amusement. Her comeuppance is equally satisfying, as Dong-eun gives Mi-hee a taste of her own medicine by committing her to a mental facility and abandons her entirely.

* ''Series/Station19'': Lane Bishop is Maya's overbearing father who took immense pride in her track victories, but became extremely despondent and verbally abusive every time she finished second (particularly in one race when her girlfriend is injured). He does offhand things such as withholding love and attention, indirectly saying she's "a loser" and ultimately being the catalyst that instills both Maya's rigid refusal to give up as well as her cold willingness to do what she had to to advance above all others. Lane is proven to be just as emotionally abusive towards his wife and son too and in the Season 3 finale, he berates and criticizes Maya while she's trying to deal with a bomb threat on scene and even gets physical when he pulls her ponytail too, finally waking her up to the truth about how he's always victimized her. Then the ending of Season 4 shows that he doesn't come to her wedding, but her mother--who's broken away from him--does.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** ''Series/StarTrekPicard'': The third season has Captain Liam Shaw of the USS ''Titan''-A. He does little to disguise his feelings towards ex-Borg like Seven of Nine or Jean-Luc Picard and insists on deadnaming Seven. He generally behaves like a jerk towards both Picard and Riker by refusing to meet them when they arrive, starting dinner without them, and forcing them into quarters meant for enlisted or junior officers instead of quarters befitting their ranks.

** Shaun Murphy's father. He is hated for his abusive behaviour towards Shaun and the scene where he is most despised for was when it was revealed that when Shaun was a child, his father killed his pet rabbit by grabbing it out of Shaun's hands and throwing it hard against the wall. This convinced Shaun and his brother Steve to run away from home.
*** In the season three episode "Friends and Family," Shaun returns to his hometown to see his father, who is dying of cancer. Even on his deathbed, the father is still a horrible person as when Shaun says that he forgives him for the way he treated him, the father replies by calling Shaun weak and blaming him for Steve's death. The father soon dies hours later and it's no surprise when Shuan refuses to attend the funeral.

** Toni Procopio, a gang member and one-time antagonist from Season 6's "[[VerySpecialEpisode The Gun]]". [[GottaHaveItGonnaStealIt She and hard work apparently don't go together that she's willing to resort to murder (hence the name of the episode) to steal what others have earned]], earned, from a leather jacket owned by Laura to tennis shoes owned by one of Laura's close friends, namely Josie. A student at Vanderbilt High School like the Winslows and Steve, even the ''teachers'' are scared of her. She was arrested for stealing Laura's jacket, but let out on bail, upon which she threatens to shoot Laura and Steve if either of the two testify at her trial. Because she never told her parents (her father, a policeman, most especially) about Toni pulling a gun on her, Laura is considering buying a gun of her own from a classmate illegally selling them, which he had done earlier with Josie. After Toni tries to steal Josie's tennis shoes and shoots her, despite her being armed herself, [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse we don't exactly know what happens to her afterwards]]; we can only assume that she and her friends were expelled from school and sent to jail for good or were likely killed due to gun violence themselves or they managed to [[KarmaHoudini get away with their crimes scot-free]]. While Carl is used to dealing with gang and gun violence on a daily basis, it doesn't really hit home until it happens to your own child.

** [[RivalTurnedEvil Dexter]] [[GreenEyedMonster Thornhill]], Dexter Thornhill, Steve's academic rival from Season 5's "Presumed Urkel". Jealous of Steve's academic performance, having always taken [[SecondPlaceIsForLosers second place]] place in the science fair while Steve took first every year, and always calling him "[[MaliciousMisnaming Steve Yuckel]]", "Yuckel", he would go so far as to [[spoiler:frame him for blowing up the school's science lab by tampering with his latest science fair project, a graffiti remover, by adding explosive chemicals into it and turning up the Bunsen burner to the maximum point in an effort to get him expelled, especially serving as prosecutor in the [[CourtroomEpisode Vanderbilt student court]], court, only for Laura, [[ClearTheirName who represented Steve]] Steve in spite of her being annoyed about his calls for love at the time, to eventually expose him in the end, upon which he himself ends up expelled and likely sent to juvie.]]
** Toni Procopio, a gang member and one-time antagonist from Season 6's "[[VerySpecialEpisode The Gun]]". [[GottaHaveItGonnaStealIt "The Gun".

* ''Series/{{Oz}}'': Governor James Devlin is practically tailor-made for the audience to hate. He's an arrogant, unpleasant weasel who constantly causes problems for literally everyone else with his corruption and draconian policies, and is perpetually allergic to accepting responsibility for his actions and their consequences.

* ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' has a number of very dislikable antagonists over its run, but one that really takes the cake is Judge Carl Robertson, the antagonist of the political campaign arc of Season 3. Robertson used to be the mentor to Uncle Phil who got Phil to where he is today, but once he was running against Phil for District Court Judge, Robertson has no qualms about pulling every dirty trick in the book to discredit and slander his former pupil and gleefully rubs it in the Banks' faces (indeed, his entire campaign seems to be entirely be based on slamming the opposition and little about what he stands for). Additionally, he is a DirtyOldMan with [[{{Jerkass}} with an annoying and abrasive personality]] who constantly surrounds himself with women in skimpy clothes and has been stated to once issue a conviction in order to date the hot prosecutor rather than serve justice. Tellingly, when Robertson ends up having a fatal heart attack after Will finally tells him off, nobody misses him (one man says he's only at Robertson's funeral to make sure the judge is actually dead and the entire crowd even applauds for Will when Will admits to feeling responsible for Robertson's death (again, at Robertson's ''funeral'')) and chances are the viewers won't either.

* ''FPJ's Ang Probinsyano'': Corrupt, lazy, greedy, cheapskate, egotistical, narcissistic, and massive {{Hypocrite}} ''Barangay Kapitan''/Captain (later ''Konsehala''/Councilor) Gina Magtanggol, created as a {{Foil}} to Cardo's grandmother, retired Barangay Captain Flora "Lola Kap" de Leon. Aside from those aforementioned vices, she's also guilty of harassment, breaking and entering, slander, attempted corruption of minors, all directed at Dalisay's family and friends (and now '''food poisoning''' as well to an innocent customer of the "Flora's Garden" eatery, again to publicly humiliate the protagonists). And she's a notorious KarmaHoudini who eventually cheats her way into the Councilor position in spite of her glaring flaws. She also escapes retribution several times only because characters who planned to investigate her wrongdoings were written into other more important storylines, and [[AbortedArc forgotten]], numerous times. Even after Cardo's group Vendetta is given a presidential pardon, Gina's group insist on BullyingTheDragon and do not cease on the harassments; the only reason Task Force ''Agila'' (basically Vendetta under a new name and on the side of the law, ''with'' presidential backing) don't bother with Gina's antics is because they have bigger crimes to solve. [[TooDumbToLive And Gina takes offense that she is not considered a mastermind worth Agila's time.]] And she has somehow lasted longer than any other, more competent, more interesting villains in the series because she's supposed to be a comic relief character, whose antics are more cringe-worthy than actually hilarious. There were attempts to change her for the better and just when it seems that it does, she eventually goes back to her usual self as if any attempt to change her never happened. The most egregious example is when Lola Flora's family was ambushed by Lucas Cabrerra's private army, who was sent to kill Cardo's family in retaliation for his son's death. The shootout ended in the death of Makmak and Gina was saddened when she heard the news and admitted that even Flora doesn't deserve this. But after the end of the Vendetta arc, she returns to her usual self and kicks Flora's family out of their home. It's hard to tell whether or not Gina will actually change for the better when every attempt becomes all for naught.

* ''Series/TwentyFour'': Marianne Taylor from Season 4. Prior to the season, she dated Curtis, who broke up with her when he realized she was manipulating him to advance her own career. During the season, she is insufferably smug and a huge bitch to everyone, takes advantage of a terrorist emergency to blackmail [[NiceGuy Edgar ]] so she can get a promotion, turns out to be [[spoiler:TheMole for the terrorists, frames her innocent coworker Sarah for this, leading to Sarah being tortured, and then betrays the terrorists just as fast as she did CTU when she's finally caught, cutting a deal to [[DirtyCoward save her own skin]]]]. She ends up [[spoiler:getting a richly deserved death [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves at the hands of the same terrorists she had betrayed her country for, spending her last moments pathetically trying to bargain for her life]], and [[EvenTheLovingHeroHasHatedOnes even Edgar]] thinks she deserved worse than she got.
