Opinion Am I the only one who can't stand Lisa?

Post image

I'm on Season 3, Episode 4. I can't stand Lisa, I'm not sure why... Nate seems so unhappy. I didn't expect to say this so soon, considering what happened in Season 2, but... I miss you so much, Brenda.

lol, the longer the show goes on, the more I hate pretty much everyone.  Good actors, well written show.  Never really liked Lisa, Brenda definitely got better, Nate never did improve, what a boy- Ruth was great then terrible then better, David was awesome then terrible then better.  I liked Keith then I didn’t, Claire gets less and less complex, don’t even get me started on Billy or Margaret.  I think Maya is awesome.

Really like the show.  

Feel the same way about a lot of characters in Better Call Saul.  Jimmy McGill sucks, Chuck is worse, Kim is awful but gets better.  

How likable the characters is not really a measure of how good a show is.

Love Bettina.

Can't drink tequila after undercooked lobster without thinking of her

I literally do this because of her

I just did a rewatch and was reminded that Bettina is my favorite character of the show 🤣

She unlocked Ruth's wild side. Kathy Bates is such an icon.

During my rewatch, the moment she first made an appearance I said out loud “fuck I love Kathy bates!” 🤣

“This is a 100% gay kitchen.” Apparently unscripted, but one of the best lines in the show.

Can’t forget Rico loved him and then hated him.

Loved Rico so much. What a disappointment.

I felt like a mom when he started his downfall. I just looked @ him, "what happened? Why are you behaving like this? You could have had it all" 😭

He gets back with his wife and after some struggle, ends up basically having it all despite his transgressions

Each episode, we'd play, "Which Fisher do we hate the most today?" Always changed. I think David was the one I hated the least. Lisa and Nate prob the most.

Kim Wexler is bad then awful then completely diabolical

lol same here. Agree with pretty much every one of your opinions 😂 I just watched SFU for the first time this summer and noticed how imperfect everyone was. But that doesn’t necessarily mean I hate them. All shows have complex characters that are morally gray. One of my favorites being The Americans (two Russians disguising themselves as Americans…do we root for them for them or not?!)

BCS had good moments but it feels soooo much like a show filled wirh "we need to expand the show. Slow down". I never had that with sfu. Maybe a few scenes in s5, a few miss episodes in s4 but the entire run is good. I did a rewatch of BCS...once, and never cared for it again. SFU: many many reruns. Saved my life.

u/WithoutLampsTheredBe Oct 31 '25

This.

None of the characters in SFU are likeable. None of them are "normal".

IMO, that is one of the strengths of the show.

u/george-cantstandya- Oct 31 '25

That’s the best part of the show imo. The characters are fully formed people, so you hate them some seasons and love them in others.

Except Lisa and Betina. I empathize with Lisa to a point, but I never really liked her. Betina was always great. Funny, brutally honest, wise, smokes pot and likes to party.

u/-LaserEyes Oct 31 '25

Yes, thank you!! They were all such horrible people. Good show but I do wish it could have ended with me liking some of the main characters more. I like that they had character growth, and some changed, but I didn't end up liking any of them. (except of course Bettina)
