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)

In the first season of Brooklyn 99, there is this weird plot line where Charles develops a crush on Rosa and she keeps telling him to back off. Likely done at the time to foil Peralta and Santiago's immature, pig tail pulling romantic arc, but anyone whose watched more than a season knows those two characters are totally wrong for each other.

Its a little funny because it doesn't come off as early writing weirdness. Charles was going through a really rough divorce at the time, and Rosa, while gruff, does deeply care about her friends (and him), and didnt want to slap him down. He later apologizes, and dates a few other women before settling in with a new LTR.
