10+ Of The Most Underrated Characters Created This Decade

Yes, these are all the performances that you may have either A) forgotten about B) didn't get enough praise or C) were great, but you wouldn't see them on a "Greatest characters of the decade" list.

So this is the list for you, underrated characters. I hope you enjoy it.

Frank Gallagher

IMDb

Show: Shameless.

Some people say that Fiona is the best Gallagher. Some people say Kevin is the best character on Shameless.

Those people are wrong. Frank was the best and don't even try to argue.

BoJack Horseman

Netflix

Show: Bojack Horseman.

How did Will Arnett not win an Emmy for Bojack Horseman? How did no one win an Emmy for this show?

Taking a cartoon about a talking horse and making it the most depressing show of all time is nothing short of excellence.

Kayla Day

IMDb

Movie: Eighth Grade.

While the movie may not have resonated with you, folks have to agree that Elsie Fisher's portrayal of how awkward it was to be in Eighth Grade was equal parts heartwrenching and heartwarming.

Linda Belcher

Fox

Show: Bob's Burgers.

It was between Linda and Tina for this show, but we have to go with the mom with the most, the high pitched, nasally matriarch of the Belcher family.

Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson

Netflix

Show: Orange Is The New Black.

There is a lot of love for this show, but one of it's most underrated characters was Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson.

There needs to be more love for her.

Tywin Lannister

HBO

Show: Game Of Thrones.

There is a lot of love for the characters in the first seven seasons of the show, but this is the one that doesn't get enough.

He commands every scene he's in...except for the last one.

Lavrentiy Beria

IMDb

Show: The Death Of Stalin

Yes, he's based on a real person.

He may have been as threatening, but there was no way Lavrentiy Beria was as funny as Simon Russell Beale portrayed him.

Beth Pearson

IMDb

Show: This Is Us.

It's hard to pick out a "most underrated" in the This Is Us cast, because they're all great and they're all pretty underrated.

But Susan Kelechi Watson is the most underrated of them all.

Alexis Rose

CBC

Show: Schitt's Creek.

The way Annie Murphy was able to take this horrible, horrible socialite and make a convincing transition to a person who actually thought of others was masterful.

Truly an amazing performance.

PC Principal

Comedy Central

Show: South Park.

This character had so much potential when he came out.

He shifted the entire South Park universe for about two seasons, and now he's used for some of the funniest jokes in the series.

Thomas Shelby

Netflix

Show: Peaky Blinders.

People love this show, sure, but there isn't enough love for Cillian Murphy's performance in this movie.

It's intense, it's dramatic and it's in your face. Above all, it's great.

Ronan The Accuser

Marvel

Movie: Guardians Of The Galaxy.

Definitely the funniest villain in the entire MCU, whether it was unintentional or not.

He is such a ham, you could put that guy in the oven on Easter Day and with the right honey glaze, he would taste great,

Nathan Fielder

Comedy Central

Show: Nathan For You

Is it a character? We certainly hope so, but the fact that this show doesn't have a bigger fanbase is a shame.

It's one of the funniest shows and characters in a long time.

Jimmy McGill

IMDb

Show: Better Call Saul

It's a crime that this show didn't get as much love as Breaking Bad.

It may have been a little slower, but it was just as dramatic and just as heart-wrenching.
