5 Worst TV Shows of 2025, Ranked – No. 1 Has a 36 Percent Rotten Tomato Effect

While 2025 has had some great TV shows, it has also had its fair share of bad series.

If we’re going to talk about the best of 2025, we have to talk about the worst. Not every show is going to be a hit, not every season 1 is Emmy nominated. Most of them are straight up trash – and some trash even gets a second season.

Watch With Us covers the bottom half of our TV watches this year, starting with the worst Suits appearing in a political comedy Robert De Niro.

We’ve selected and ranked the five worst shows 2025 had to offer.

5. ‘Pulse’ – Netflix

If Pitt was the best medical drama of 2025, at that time The Pulse it could have been worse. The show follows a group of surgical and emergency residents at Maguire Hospital, a trauma center in Miami, as they all strive for the same thing: the position of Emergency Medicine Chief Resident. Residents navigate their personal and professional lives as they deal with various medical issues while dealing with a major scandal at work.

The Pulse it ultimately failed to impress reviewers and audiences, and was duly canceled shortly after its initial disappointment. The critics finally got it The Pulse went all in on tired tropes without doing enough to set it apart from other similar hospital dramas Out of breath or even the 86th season Grey’s Anatomy. If it’s just another medical procedure show, then why not watch something uplifting Pitt? Ddespite the good acting, poor plotting, annoying characters and questionable depiction of sexual abuse made this show something to skip.

4. ‘Day Zero’ – Netflix

Robert De Niro stars as George Mullen, a former president of the United States who is brought out of retirement by his successor to handle a very special assignment. Mullen has been given the position of head of a team investigating a major cyberterrorist attack around the world that has resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent people. You see a new celebrity series with a tour de force like De Niro and you think, “How can it be wrong?”

Well, when it comes day zero, it could go very wrong. An interesting political thriller produced by Noah Oppenheim (House of Dynamite) ends up being a completely forgettable experience — a mouthful of commentary on hot news that fails to deliver anything of substance. Even more star power of Angela Bassett, Jesse Plemons again Connie Britton can’t help the good screenwriting and tension.

3. ‘The Beast: The Ed Gein Story’ – Netflix

This is not the first time Ryan Murphy‘s name will grace this list as the most popular game show producer has committed many crimes on television this year. But perhaps the least annoying in favor was The Monster: The Ed Gein Storyalthough it is truly a case of the “lesser of two evils”. The third installment of A monster The anthology series follows the life of notorious serial killer Ed Gein while examining his influence on pop culture and true crime.

Critics somehow managed to find a lot of value in it The Monster: The Ed Gein Story than the next entry in this list, All good, which sports an impressive 6 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes by comparison Monster’s 22 percent. The main point of the show is the great performances of the ensemble cast and some stellar production design. However, most have been found A monster being an abominable contradiction of Gein’s persona while failing to make a sensible comment on pop culture – only thing The Monster: Ed Gein The story do the very thing he wishes to command.

2. ‘It’s All Right’ — Hulu

The only reason Everything is OK it’s not number one on this list that while the show was full of critics, it got enough hate watches from the audience to warrant its continued existence – but only slightly. It’s one of those Emily in Paris situations, where a car crash on the side of the road makes drivers want to crane their necks and look good, even though they shouldn’t. It is the same situation as All good, Murphy’s legal drama about an all-female law firm in Los Angeles managed to renew the series.

A show that earns the moniker from many critics as “one of the worst shows ever made” will unfortunately make a lot of people watch it out of curiosity. indeed the show couldn’t be that bad. At the end, Everything is OK it’s not even a “so bad and so good” situation because the show is too boring, too shallow and too poorly written, to be surprisingly entertaining, while being helped by some memorable performances from Kim Kardashian.

1. ‘LA Suits’ — Peacock

The television award “Flop of the Year” goes to it Suits LA, an ill-conceived spinoff Suits thought people enjoyed going out Suits when it was added to Netflix. But trying to exploit the streaming success of an old show doesn’t mean that a creatively uninspired spinoff will produce the same success. The creators behind it Compatible with LA it seemed that he did not understand what had been done Suits it’s great to start with, and instead of trying something new and exciting, they just create the same thing a second time – but worse.

Compatible with LA it simply tries to convey the narrative of Suits in a different setting, but without the writing, acting or editing that made the original a great, breezy and accessible watch. And, the show already it was necessary a failed spinoff with Pearson back in 2019, which was canceled after one season and replaced by one star suits’ very interesting characters. If a play with a real cast couldn’t work, why did they think they could capture the magic with new actors playing poorly written characters? If Everything is OK at least it has the trick of a hate clock, Compatible with LA absolutely nothing worth watching.
