A lot of TV characters don't start out great but get a lovely redemption arc that brings them back into the light or are able to pull off a happy ending at the last minute.
However, there's probably a few characters for whom redemption or a happy ending doesn't feel quite earned.
You might think that no matter what, Chuck Bass didn't deserve any redemption on Gossip Girl due to his predatory and toxic behavior throughout the series.
Maybe you thought Spike's redemption during Buffy the Vampire Slayer's seventh season wasn't enough to make up for all the awful things he did to Buffy, particularly in Season 6.
Maybe it's as simple as this: Olivia Pope did a lot of horrible things by the time Scandal ended, and she didn't deserve her happy ending with Fitz or her portrait in the National Portrait Gallery.
