Being an actor is a job unlike any other, but it is still fundamentally a job. There are good places to work, and there are bad places to work. Any number of factors can go into making a TV set a nightmare to work on, as with any workplace.

There are unreasonable directors and producers, feuds between co-stars that can spread to the rest of the cast, and politics over pay and screentime. In addition, there are added unique stresses like writers with little regard for an actor's character or actors who look down on the rest of the production. Ultimately, some TV sets are widely considered to have been an unhappy place to work, while some are delightful.

10 Miserable: Ruby Rose Accused Batwoman's Production Of Neglect

Ruby Rose as Kate Kane in CW's Batwoman

After Batwoman's first season, it was announced that Ruby Rose would not be reprising the role in the second season, with actress Wallis Day replacing her as Kate Kane while Javicia Leslie became Batwoman. In a statement following the announcement, Rose leveled several accusations at the production, focusing on health and safety.

Rose accused the producers of allowing horrible injuries to happen to cast and crew, including third-degree burns, and showed little concern for the health of even their star, attempting to get Ruby Rose back to work only ten days after a severe injury. The claims have been denied, but their very existence suggests an unpleasant level of acrimony on set.

All television productions aim to end up with the cast and crew as fast friends, with everybody enjoying themselves on set as much as possible. This often contributes to success, allowing the cast to play friends or love interests more naturally, building off of their natural relationship. Successful sitcoms seem to end up achieving this more than most.

The Office has been noted as a particularly happy work environment for many, with the cast loving the show, their characters, and one another, as well as the improv-friendly atmosphere on the show. The cast got along so well that the final scene was chosen to be a large group scene, just so everyone could be together one last time.

8 Miserable: Allegations Have Piled Up Against Buffy The Vampire Slayer

For many years, Joss Whedon was one of the most beloved showrunners alive and the creative brain behind many beloved projects. Many thought he could do no wrong until oft-repeated rumors about his conduct on shows like AngelFirefly, and especially Buffy the Vampire Slayer became widespread.

Whedon was noted to make Buffy a very clique-y set, forcing actors to compete for his favoritism and mistreating those who did not. In particular, Charisma Carpenter has leveled a number of allegations at Whedon of harassment and bullying. In addition, then-teenage Michelle Trachtenberg has claimed he made jokes that crossed a line, seeing him barred from being alone with her.

7 A Dream: Doctor Who, After Its Initial Season

By some accounts, the first season of the revival of Doctor Who had tension behind the scenes. Star Christopher Eccleston struggled to get along with John Barrowman and suffered from a deteriorating relationship with showrunner Russel T. Davies, whom he alleges allowed the BBC to blacklist him despite prior agreements.

However, in subsequent seasons, the show has been described as a lovely environment, particularly during David Tennant's time as The Doctor. With the cast and crew all getting on wonderfully, David Tennant's NTA Special Recognition award was underscored by many of his colleagues from Doctor Who speaking warmly of him and the production.

6 Miserable: Castle Saw Lines Drawn On-Set

Many have commented that Castle was an especially tough set to work in. This was primarily due to the feud between Stana Katic and Nathan Fillion, despite them playing love interests and main characters Rick Castle and Kate Beckett.

Initially, this feud was said to be due to pay disparity but also due to clashing personalities and tensions boiling over. It was so deep and long-running that other crew members began taking sides, resulting in measures like giving Castle and Beckett separate storylines to minimize problems.

In addition to excellent chemistry as characters, the cast of How I Met Your Mother demonstrated an immense amount of regard and affection for one another during the show's production. Aided by similar interests for many of them, they noted singing together on-set and visiting shows outside of work.

An interesting turn in the cast and crew reportedly enjoying their time on the show is that How I Met Your Mother is notable for having many alumni from Joss Whedon projects in its cast and crew, given the reputation of those sets.

4 Miserable: The Next Generation's Early Seasons Were Fractious

Nearly every season of Star Trek has seen some tensions between characters and between the showrunners and cast. However, the early seasons of The Next Generation were notably difficult. Several cast and crew were overruled on the incidental racism and sexism in the show's early seasons, actors requested to be written out, and Patrick Stewart was uncertain about the show and cold towards the cast.

Over time, however, production became easier, and The Next Generation's cast and crew were noted to be closely bonded. In addition, Patrick Stewart lightened up and became one of the most notorious pranksters on set.

3 A Dream: The Good Place Had A Warm Atmosphere

Michael Schur is considered by many to be an excellent showrunner, with many of his productions being both highly regarded and described as enjoyable to work on.

The Good Place is one example of such, with the cast and crew all getting on well. It was aided by some prior connections between the cast, with Jameela Jamil having interviewed Kristen Bell years before. Even the cast members who admittedly signed onto the production because they needed a job loved their time on the show.

2 Miserable: Cast Tensions Made Glee Difficult

It is often the case that issues on a TV set come from the director, showrunner, or studio causing friction. Not the case in Glee, however, where a number of crew and cast who have spoken up about the unpleasant atmosphere behind the scenes have leveled allegations more or less solely at cast members.

Lea Michele has received the brunt of these allegations, with allegations of racism and people complaining that she made production difficult with her demanding attitude. Less mentioned is that the male cast members were reported to have a lot of tension, including some bullying behavior.

It's rare for any workplace to run for years without trouble. However, with TV sets, where colleagues can come and go at the whims of the writers and tensions can run high, it is nothing short of remarkable.

Nonetheless, after 18 years on the show, the cast of NCIS still describe their experiences in warm terms, with more than one actor describing the set as like "one big family" from the beginning. In particular, lead and executive producer Mark Harmon is noted for being an anchor for the entire production, especially after making the set what it is today after getting original strict showrunner Donald Bellisario replaced.
