11. Hunting Hitler

While the premise of the show might be alluring to TV viewers, History Channel’s ‘Hunting Hitler’ is somewhat offensive considering there are many people who would prefer to believe that the former leader of the Nazi’s has been six feet under for a while now. The show is based on an idea that he faked his death and escaped to South America, with show hosts exploring new leads and “scientific evidence” that is hardly that groundbreaking. At times, the show focuses more on clues that seem to point in the direction of Hitler being dead to begin with. There are multiple fabrications spread across the series and some consider it to be exploitative by capitalizing on something related to real life horrors that people are still trying to heal from.

12. Keeping Up with the Kardashians

The Kardashian clan is undoubtedly one of the most famous families in the world, having been on the air for 13 years across 18 seasons already. The show has made household names out of sisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney and even featured Kylie and Kendall Jenner growing out of their childhoods into high profile careers and motherhood. Few people know that the house featured in exterior shots in the show doesn’t even belong to mother hen Kris Jenner, and was used as a stand-in until the property itself was sold two years ago. Known for fabricated storylines and attempts to create drama out of smaller family altercations. Some go so far as to cross over into the public eye on social media, but insiders suggest that this is all done to help boost ratings. From marriage proposals to feuds on vacations, a lot of what you see should be taken with a pinch of salt.
