25 TV Shows That Are Kind Of Bad, But Honestly So Good

"I love it. I hate it. I love that I hate it. I can't stop watching it."

We recently asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which guilty pleasure TV shows are actually amazing. Here are some of our favorites:

1. Scream Queens

Fox

"It was so bad and cringey, but there were a lot of funny parts. A lot of the humor was the show being self-aware about how stupid the show was."

2. What/If

Netflix

"My mom and I love to have mother-daughter movie/tv nights and one night we stumbled upon What/If. It turned out to be the most bizarre and crazy thing we’d ever seen. It’s so outrageously cliché that, at points, I honestly couldn’t tell if I was watching a really cliché soap opera or a brilliant satire. My mom and I kept laughing at how absurd it was...but we kept watching."

3. Siren

Freeform

"It's literally a show about a couple who have a threesome with a mermaid. That's it, that's the show. And, it has been going on for like two full seasons now."

—michaelfight

4. BH90210

Fox

"The concept for this 'reboot' is so dumb and predictable, but I keep watching mostly for the nostalgia factor."

—whocares008

5. Glee

Fox

"You honestly can't top Glee when it comes to this. It had some wild performances and crazy plotlines, but it never failed to be so bad that it was worth watching for six seasons."

—isaaclahey

6. Riverdale

The CW

"Riverdale is the ultimate guilty pleasure because even though the suspension of disbelief was snapped beyond repair you still have an unexplainable fascination in what the writers are going to throw at the wall next. It’s never boring and there’s always something to talk about."

—jbmasta

7. Dynasty

The CW

"I love it. I hate it. I love that I hate it. I can't stop watching it."

—evamcl3

8. Fuller House

Netflix

"Fuller House is the definition of cringey TV, but I cannot stop watching it."

9. Galavant

ABC

"It was this cheesy yet hilarious adult musical about a knight trying to woo his ex-love. It had a great cast and captivating storyline. It was just so stupid that it was amazing."

—h-hizzy

10. The Secret Life of the American Teenager

ABC Family

"The characters were so unlikeable, selfish, and immature. The whole show ended up being unintentionally hilarious with its horrible dialogue. It was my number one guilty pleasure."

—sophiarias

11. H2O: Just Add Water

Network Ten

"My daughter got me into it because we both like mermaids, but I’ll admit I used to sometimes rewatch it on my own."

—heatherbeshe

12. Four Weddings and a Funeral

Hulu

"Every single romcom trope ever imagined is represented and somehow I cannot stop watching it and am still shocked when certain things happen."

—sitkal

13. The Order

Netflix

"I could not look away while binging Season 1. I don't even know why I watched every episode."

—marissaavargass

14. Melissa and Joey

Freeform

"I love really cringey comedy series like Melissa and Joey. It was so bad, but that's what made it a little bit entertaining."

—sophiefigueira

15. Trial and Error

NBC

"The humor was ridiculous and the characters were even more so, but I loved every second of it. I was actually heartbroken when it got cancelled after Season 2. Legit one of my favorite shows despite the sometimes over the top humor."

—kaleep43bdb1b45

16. East Los High

Hulu

"The acting isn't great, but the plot is so addicting. I legit can't look away."

—isamota019

17. Pretty Little Liars

Freeform

"There was just so much weird stuff going on, and the final seasons were so bad. But, I still loved the drama, the twists, and actors in it."

—saraf46cbcaf4c

18. Once Upon a Time

ABC

"The plot got more ridiculous and convoluted as time went on. All of the characters were related in some way and the CGI was SO bad, but I couldn't stop watching."

—badspellaspella

19. Supernatural

The CW

"Honestly, it was never great, but once the apocalypse storyline wrapped up it became complete trash and yet, I love it and will watch every single episode."

—fredzesty

20. 13 Reasons Why

Netflix

"Season 3 was laughably awful, but I watched the entire thing. I would read an entire post dissecting that train wreck."

—taylorp4c7128c1b

21. Gossip Girl

The CW

"The plotlines were ridiculous, the dialogue was cheesy, and the characters were frustrating. But, in spite of all the bad, it was so entertaining and so addicting!"

—rrizza

22. No Good Nick

Netflix

"It's an oddly compelling kid's show that I can't stop watching. Honestly, I'll be devastated if they don't make a third season. SUCH. A. GUILTY. PLEASURE."

—freddylaris

23. Slasher

Netflix

"The writing is so awful that I cringe every few minutes, but god damn I just have to find out what happens next."

—curlyqkc

24. Teen Wolf

MTV

—stephanieannmarievenditti

25. Free Rein

Netflix

"The show is obviously targeted at a younger audience, but I started watching it when I was babysitting a little girl one day and now I can't stop. It's such a cringey TV show, but I’ve watched every episode."
