What TV series suffered by introducing an unnecessary romance between characters? And in the reverse, are there any TV series that suffered by NOT introducing a romance between two characters? (lemm.ee)

supernatural, apparently they introduced a gay/homoerotic relationship between the characthers, after season 5, it was pure fanfiction. which grew into a obssession by fans to the point they became extremely creepy and parasocial. the show was meant to end by season 5 but kripke had left by that time, and the 2 others decided to do it.

romance just puts the show into the "drama" category when it shouldnt be and it ruins the show. like a sci-fi shouldnt have ovvereaching romantic drama that is not part of the sci-fi plots. SGU to give an example
