Peacock has a 2 part docuseries about the rise of Barney and despite the message of love, acceptance and inclusion people decided to hate the cultural icon to the extreme. The docuseries will look at the extreme hatred for the character including death threats made against actors of the show, burning and dismemberment of the Barney merchandise.

The show was a massive part of my childhood so it is surprising to discover people would act this way towards the character and show, but there were people who hated Mr. Rogers and blame him for why they aren’t where they are in live so it shouldn’t be this big of a surprise. It appears it will look at how humans as people seem to love to hate based on a graphic in the in the trailer.  Given the name and first info I heard about the dark side of the Barney show I thought the content would be much much worse then examining the hatred people have for the beloved show.
