The Most Universally Despised TV Characters of All Time

Piper Chapman – Orange is the New Black

Piper’s story is one of growth... into an even more insufferable person. When Piper first went to prison, she was a privileged, entitled woman who acted terrified of everything and everyone she encountered. However, Piper’s character arc was far from redeeming. As the show wore on, it became apparent that Piper had zero regard for her fellow inmates, exhibiting increasingly petulant and ungracious behavior. It’s no surprise that she ended up with a giant swastika carved into her arm.
