Television has seen it fair share of evil characters. From Dwight Schrute causing trouble at Dunder Mifflin to Tony Soprano ruling over the New Jersey family’s gang. It is an evil-doer’s job is to wreak havoc on the protagonist of the story. But what happens when that villain has a partner in crime? Here is a look at the top 12 most devious evil couples on TV:
12. Gaius Baltar and Number Six, Battlestar Galactica
Baltar wanted a relationship with Number Six, so he provided her with access to the Colonial mainframe. This was an act of treason and in turn destroyed his home. Number Six used her good looks to get what she wanted from Baltar and was able to destroy an entire race. But was she real or just a figment of Baltar’s imagination? Either way, these two caused more evil than anyone could imagine.
11. Don and Betty Draper, Mad Men
Don and Betty Draper seem like the perfect couple on the outside. However, looks can be deceiving. Don changed his identity after the real Don Draper was killed during the Korean War. He will sympathize with someone then stab them in the back a few minutes later. His wife is not much better. She has been described as cold, immature, and selfish. Though she disapproves of her husband being with other women, she cheats on and later divorces him. She even tries to woo Don back when she is still married to her new husband.
10. Paul and Mary Alice Young, Desperate Housewives
Many would agree that Paul Young is an evil man. After all, he was the one who murdered Martha Huber and then tried to cover it up. But the reason he ended Martha’s life was because she knew that Mary Alice had killed Mike Delfino’s girlfriend. Mary Alice did this so she could keep Mike’s baby and raise him as her own. After being imprisoned, Paul returns to the Wisteria Lane with a new wife, whom he tries to kill after finding out she is Felicia Tillman’s daughter. And you thought the suburbs were a nice place to live…
9. Boris and Natasha, Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show
These two spies delight in performing evil deeds that range from stealing rocket fuel formula to getting rid of all televisions in the United States. Boris was even so dastardly that he started his own gang and was a union member for villains, thieves, and scoundrels. In the early years, Boris’ eyes were red because he was so evil. The two also delighted in trying to kill a squirrel and a moose, luckily those plans always backfired.
8. Batiatus and Lucretia, Spartacus
This couple is consumed with having tons of money, holding power over everyone, and having political status. Batiatus loves flaunting his good fortune in front of arch enemy Solonious, regardless of how small the victory may be. He has even resorted to kidnapping and killing to gain social status. His wife is no better. In order to get pregnant, she forced a slave to have relations with her. This was all done to make her husband happy and make the family more powerful for generations to come.
7. Joker and Harley Quinn, Batman: The Animated Series
The Joker has been labeled as Batman’s deadliest arch enemy. This is due to his cunning and ruthless behavior. He is also very dangerous. The Joker even resorted to belittling girlfriend Harley Quinn, who can be just as ruthless as her main squeeze. Their devious acts have ranged from stealing trophies to taking nuclear weapons.
6. Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf, Gossip Girl
This power couple ruled New York City and would take down anyone in their path. Chuck deceived his best friend Nate, who was dating Blair, in order to have her for himself. Once the two were an item, they would play a game where Chuck would lure a woman home at night and Blair would walk in on them. This stunt would embarrass the girl and add some spice to their relationship. Chuck even planned for his Uncle to seduce Blair to save his hotel. And this was all before they were old enough to drink!

5. Angelus and Darla, Angel
You may be thinking that Spike and Drusilla are way more evil than this duo. That is true and you will see them closer to the #1 spot. Darla sired Angelus in 1753. The couple spent over a hundred years murdering people all over Europe. Angelus would especially delight in torturing his prey before killing them. When Darla met up with Angelus in present day, the two continued to threaten the lives of many innocent people. Darla even died and rose again. This time she tried to take over the entire city of Los Angeles.
4. Walter and Skyler White, Breaking Bad
Walter White has done many deplorable things. He forced laundromat workers to clean his meth lab and then had them deported. He ratted Jesse out to Saul in order to get him arrested. He strangled Krazy 8 to death. Additionally, he made Jesse kill Gale and let Jane die. The list could go on and on. His wife stuck by his side through it all, which makes her just as evil.

3. Spike and Drusilla, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Buffy Summers’ life got a lot more complicated when Drusilla and Spike showed up in Sunnydale in season two. Spike vows to kill the new slayer (Buffy) and later learns that Drusilla, who has grown weak from a previous battler, can survive off the blood of her sire: Angel. The two capture and torture Angel and also murder another slayer, all in one season. That’s a lot of evil to let unloose in a short amount of time.

2. Dexter Morgan and Hannah McKay, Dexter
Though Dexter only intended to murder people who were cold-blooded killers, he still committed a horrible crime. In total, Dexter has slain 134 people. He also let other people take the fall for his crimes. Hannah may not have killed as many as her beau, but she did go on a three-state killing spree with her then boyfriend and then turned him in so she did not have to go to prison. Sounds like Dexter and Hannah are a perfect match.

1. Bill Compton and Lorena Krasiki, True Blood
Lorena is Bill’s maker. The two would go from town to town and frequent brothels. They would entice the women, have their way with them, and eventually kill them all; as well as any patrons of the bar. Those crazy nights took place over a hundred years ago. They must have killed hundreds of innocent bystanders. The only way to get this evil duo to stop tormenting the state of Louisiana was to kill one of them. Sookie took care of Lorena with a good ole-fashioned stake to the heart.
