The results are in: these are officially the most hated Marvel TV shows of all tine. Honestly, there was a lot of competition.
The casino comparison website InstantCasinos worked out an average of each Marvel TV show’s different scores on Rotten Tomatoes, so revealing which Marvel TV shows are the most hated by critics and audiences alike.
So, here are officially the 12 most hated Marvel TV shows.
12. Jessica Jones – 83 per cent
This show was about a superhero who spontaneously decided to become a detective and not really do anything interesting for three seasons. David Tennant also appears in his least sexy ever villain role.
11. Agatha All Along – 82 per cent
Agatha All Along is the witchy show on right now with Joe Locke, Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza. I take personal offense that it’s on this list. My only explanation is that movie critics tend to be middle-aged straight white men and this is pretty much the only Marvel TV show ever without any middle-aged straight white men in.
=9. Luke Cage – 87 per cent
26 episodes of fist fights and boredom. Critics were unimpressed with the general lack of plot and excitement in the second season.
=9. Cloak and Dagger – 87 per cent
A girl with the power of “light daggers” and a boy who can commune with the “Dark Dimension” use mind control to stop an energy leak from infecting everyone. The second season made even less sense than that.
8. Runaways – 84 per cent

This show was about a group of superhero teenagers constantly running away (see what I did there?) from their evil parents. Critics slated the show for being drawn out, and fans were unimpressed that the show didn’t stick to the lore in the comics.
7. The Defenders – 78 per cent
Who’d have thought that a show in which the four most boring Marvel superheroes – Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Daredevil – teaming up might also be really boring?
6. The Punisher – 64 per cent
A Daredevil spin-off which just shouldn’t have existed. Critics really laid into this show for seemingly glorifying gun violence, especially as mass shootings were on the rise between 2017 and 2019.
5. Echo – 70 per cent
An unremarkable spin-off of a show called Hawkeye, which was a spin-off of the Avengers movies. The series follows a deaf character called Maya with a unique fighting style. It’s a pity Marvel gave Maya nothing interesting to do in all five episodes.
4. She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law – 79 per cent
Never forgotten

Presumably, the image of a green mutant monster twerking with Megan Thee Stallion is forever burned into everyone’s retinas. The world is yet to recover from whatever this show was.
3. Iron Fist – 37 per cent
A spoilt nepo baby whose super power is to occasionally punch extra well tries to secure his rightful place as the heir to his father’s business (despite having virtually no business experience). If you think that sounds like a terrible premise for a superhero show, you’re not wrong.
Iron Fist also received loads of backlash, because people felt the show whitewashed martial arts like kung-fu and taekwondo.
2. Secret Invasion – 52 per cent
Ah, Secret Invasion. You had so much promise. Samuel L Jackson, Emilia Clarke, Olivia Colman and Don Cheadle in an alien spy thriller? Sounds vibey.
When the show finally dropped in summer 2023, the people were not pleased. Critics hated the plot (or lack thereof). Marvel nerds hated how the show contradicted other Marvel films.
1. Inhumans – 11 per cent
I legit forgot this show existed, and I watched all eight episodes of it back in 2017. A royal family of superhumans move to Hawaii and really don’t get up to anything interesting. I’m not surprised that it’s officially the worst Marvel TV show of all time.
