The CW, a network with a reputation for aiming its shows at a slightly younger audience, has not been without its share of controversy over the years. That same tendency causes it to aim for a sort of heightened soapiness that sometimes necessitates outrages choices.
Between its many shows and characters, it makes sense that the network would cross a line or two, whether it be by killing off a beloved character in a way that fans find objectionable, making a tone-deaf episode about racism, or breaking a beloved character by having them behave in ways that go against everything established over the previous episodes.
This is a list of times that shows aired on The CW went too far, in one way or another. Obviously “Too Far” means different things to different people, and while some of these shows recovered, but some didn’t. You could also argue that some of these choices were ultimately in the best interest of the shows if they wanted to be daring and unexpected, but each of them made a choice (or several choices) that either left a poor taste in fan’s mouths, or ignited a controversy of some kind.
