Voy, though some of the characters weren't annoying. Ent crew I felt sympathy for. DS9 crew seemed a bit arrogant and confrontational though but they weren't that bad. So Voy.

For me, that would be none.
Although about a year ago, there was a podcast that voted the entire Voyager cast as the worst Character ever, over all.
The discussion was about who was the Best and the Worst character in Trek.

No, there are no casts I hate, or Trek shows I can't stand.
That said, there are characters I detest, such as Worf on DS9 - but other characters make up for it.

I really hated Archer i found him smug and wanted him shoved out of a airlock.
Saying that i was not a fan of Wesley or Neelix.

I can honestly say that there has never been a Star Trek crew I haven't liked. ENT is my least favorite Trek series, but I really like the crew and thought they were the best thing about the show myself.
VOY's crew I think suffered because it just became the "Katie & Seven In Space" show after while...

All the recurring guest roles are why I love DS9. I much prefer a large ensemble to, say, focusing on three main characters.
That would be none of them. I've enjoyed them all, and while there were individual characters I sometimes found irritating, I didn't dislike any of the crews.
Okay, to be fair, I didn't see very much of TAS, but I thought the characters of that show were a bit flat.
I never hated Enterprise's crew, I simply couldn't bring myself to care about them. Ditto on Voyager with the exception of the Doc.
Voyager, Janeway sucks
Each crew had someone I really couldn't stand or just didn't see their appeal. Ok I'll get ready to duck for at least one of my choices of characters I never really got into.
ENT: Trip
TOS: Kirk
TNG: Wesley
DS9: Bashir
VOY: Chakotay
Aside from not really seeing the appeal or really liking the character, I still liked each series. None of the characters or crew kept me from enjoying the shows.

I'm a TOS/DS9 girl, but each series has something that pushes me away, be it lazy writing (which goes into undeveloped characters that have potential, or lazy execution)...and those things can be minor or major things. On the other hand, in each of the series, there is something that draws me in...(be it characters, episodes, etc)...
ENT: Lazy execution, undeveloped characters, and even characters that don't really 'jive' with me: Reed, Trip are annoying characters....(Archer could have been done better; for a Captain, he is too hot-headed; and posters know how I feel out characters Travis, Hoshi, Phlox...T'Pol).
TOS: I dislike the 'Big Three' concept, and prefer the ensemble. However, this is my favorite era....and I hope the movie builds on this, and develops characters where the series didn't due to the era it was produced and the 'drama' behind-the-scenes.
TNG: It was interesting in the first season, but I do understand (looking at it today) how the writing and acting wasn't as strong. However, as the show went on, it became 'boring'...less adventurous...not as 'fun'...
DS9: Went it first came on the air, Trek was going where no one had gone before. Now, the show is more of a TOS sequal than TNG, I think. Still, there are things I would have liked to be different...but they're minor.
The best written Trek series that does something 'different'...and of course, we had our first black lead of Trek.
VOY: The execution wasn't as good as the series went on. Characters were pushed into the background...and not developed as others....missed dramatic opportunities...
Too, we had our first female lead of a Trek show.

Voyager would be unwatchable to me if it weren't for The Doctor, Seven of Nine. I can take Neelix in small doses.
But oh man... some of the Doctor-centered episodes are fantastic and completely redeem the entire series.
Harry Kim, Tom Paris, B'elana Torres and Janeway are all far too unlikable in my opinion. I'd shoot myself out an airlock before following Janeway's orders.

I kinda feel that way, too, though I found the TNG cast the least compelling and the least like "real" people.
That's because they were so two dimensional...and kind of plastic.

I know what you mean.
I never cared for Chakotay, but apart from that I really love Voyager!
Never got into DS9 though. I just can't stand the premise of being in the same place all the time, at least the other Treks have had some sense of purpose, be it a 5 year or continuous mission. DS9 was a soap opera in space.
Never got into ENT enough to dislike anyone. Except Tucker.

Well, I've been watching all these crews for 40 years and if I didn't like them it would have been a monumental waste of time.
I don't like to be negative and say which ones I hate, I'd rather say which are my favourite, which are TOS and ENT . All the crews have strengths and weaknesses, as in real life. And if someone irritates you isn't that like real life too?
I've sometimes found the character I like best changes as I 'mature'. I do agree that some of them are irretrievably weak - and I would list Checkov, Troi, Geordi and Wesley,Keiko, Kim, Chakotay, Naomi, Hoshi and Maywether. And unlike many writers in this thread, I like Trip best of all, although the writing undermined him in the end.
