20 Movies and TV Shows That Gave Great Characters Absolutely Nothing to Do
Rare is the movie or series that’s firing on all cylinders. Ideally, it combines an intriguing plot, complex characters, a setting that feels at once both familiar and magical, and at least one scene that takes place in a male strip club, but you just can’t be everything to everyone all the time. It’s pretty much just Bride Wars and nothing else.
If you have to sacrifice something, though, characters should be the last on your list. The setting can be mundane, the strippers can be tired, even the story can take a backseat. As long as you've got fascinating characters, people will watch them watch tanning spray dry and have a great time doing it. That’s why user klowyuwu asked r/AskReddit, “What story had a terrible plot but great characters?”
